"If a 300-pound man is beating me, like on top of me and beating me down, I’m not limited to fists," Crockett said.
On the lawmaker's Tuesday episode of "Clock It with Crockett,” she made claims about the murder weapon that Anthony used to kill Metcalf, as well as suggested that she would have done the same thing as the murderer. She first downplayed the size of the knife that was used to stab Metcalf, which was a 5-inch semi-serrated blade.
“Wait a minute, it was this?” she said, and held up her fingers to demonstrate around an inch of space between her thumb and pointer finger. One of her guests claimed that it was a multi-tool knife.
"Yeah, like with the little scissors and everything and whatever. So it was small,” Crockett said. A five-inch blade is around the length of a standard US passport. Although photos of the knife have not been released, it was described as having a one-handed opening with a five-inch blade and being sharply pointed. The knife left a 2-inch stab wound in Metcalf's chest, puncturing his heart, which led to him bleeding to death.
Crockett then suggested Metcalf was similar to a 300-lbs man, and that if a man like that was "beating" her, she would not limit herself to "fists" to fight back. “If a 300-pound man is beating me, like on top of me and beating me down, I’m not limited to fists,” Crockett said.
Metcalf, in reality, was roughly 200 lbs at 6 feet tall and had only shoved Anthony when the murderer had provoked him in his team's tent at the track meet. Anthony was listed as 5 feet 11 inches and weighed in at 162 pounds.
Contrary to Crockett's false claims, witnesses said that Metcalf had only shoved Anthony and was never "on top of" him or "beating" the murderer. Despite the conviction earlier this week, people have come to the defense of Anthony, who has now been sentenced to 35 years in prison.
