The dramatic video, released by Collin County on Friday as part of the evidence admitted during Anthony’s murder trial, shows the then-17-year-old being detained near the scene of the fatal stabbing at a high school track meet in Frisco.

As a school resource officer radios dispatch that he has the “alleged suspect” in custody, Anthony can be heard responding: “I’m not alleged. I did it.”

Anthony then appears to justify his actions, telling officers that Metcalf had put his hands on him after he warned him not to.

“I’m not alleged. I did it. He put his hands on me. I told him not to. He put his hands on me,” a tearful Anthony pleaded.

The footage shows Anthony visibly emotional as officers place him in handcuffs and escort him away from the scene.

“Am I going to be OK?” Anthony asked the arresting officer at one point.

The newly released video was among dozens of exhibits made public after Anthony was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison.

Prosecutors said Anthony stabbed Metcalf, 17, with a folding knife during a confrontation after being asked to leave a tent reserved for another school’s athletes during a rain delay at a track meet.

Anthony claimed he acted in self-defense, but jurors rejected that argument and found him guilty earlier this month.
