A South Jersey man is currently on trial as he has been accused of the stabbing death of a man moments after the Philadelphia Eagles won their very first Super Bowl trophy.
The man named Supreme Life, testified Tuesday that the episode began when his son, Antoine Ketler, made a insulting remark about the Eagles during a victory celebration in their neighborhood.
Per Philly.com:
“Life testified that amid the cheers and ringing of cowbells, he ribbed his son about being a Dallas fan. Ketler replied, “F— the Eagles.” …
Two New York men who were driving by heard the remark and attacked Ketler, Life said. He said he then went back outside to his son’s aid. Life said he stabbed Moriah Walker, 26, of Brooklyn, in self-defense. “I was overpowered,” said Life.
Walker knocked him to the ground, and punched and kicked him, Life said. Walker was a larger and younger man, he said, and he couldn’t get back up, so he pulled his pocket knife from his belt. “I was trying to separate myself from him,” Life said. “My life was in danger, and I was worried about my son.”
Walker died from a stab wound to the heart at Cooper University Hospital in Camden. He also had a stab wound to the chest, a leg, and an arm.
Life said the two were wrestling on the ground and when Walker rolled on top of him “the weight of his body was on the knife.”
Life is also charged with attempted murder for stabbing Walker’s friend.
Ketler was also charged with murder and attempted murder, but the murder charge was dismissed Tuesday.
