Karmelo Anthony doesn't testify as murder trial moves toward closing statements ... and more news

About this episode

Karmelo Anthony did not testify in his murder trial as it approaches closing statements, alongside other significant news from Dallas.

Karmelo Anthony chose not to testify during his murder trial. Anthony’s attorneys rested Monday afternoon without calling their client to the witness stand, leaving jurors to decide whether he reasonably feared for his safety without hearing directly from him. In other news, three Dallas City Council members sued the city to halt a pivotal meeting this week on the future of City Hall, accusing its leaders of trying to “ram through this momentous decision” without adequate public notice or council review; the Dallas partnership behind a hotly debated $800 million mixed-use development at the southwest corner of Preston Road and Royal Lane has cut the height of its proposed towers — again; and American Airlines and DFW International Airport opened an extension of Terminal C on Monday.
