Calvin Pittman Stabbing Trial Begins | Panama City Beach News

A murder trial explodes today as 47-year-old Calvin Pittman takes the stand accused of stabbing his 20-year-old boyfriend, Phillip Harvey, in 2023. Witnesses saw Harvey stagger from a car, screaming for help, before collapsing — and surveillance caught Pittman approaching him, then fleeing. Harvey’s final words to medics: Pittman stabbed him. A brutal stab wound caused fatal internal bleeding. Police found Pittman the next day, unbothered, at a Panama City home. The defense argues Pittman’s prints or DNA weren’t on the knife — prosecutors say prints were too faint to confirm, but that doesn’t rule them out. What sparked the violence? Still a mystery. Pittman faces second-degree murder and tampering charges, refuses to testify, and his defense case begins tomorrow — just as the jury prepares to deliberate.
