PORT WASHINGTON, Wis. – A prosecutor has presented a bloodstained T-shirt and sweater along with a sliced coat all worn by a man who says he was stabbed by TV actor Dustin Diamond in a Wisconsin barroom scuffle.

Twenty-five-year-old Casey Smet took the stand Thursday as Diamond’s trial entered its second day. Smet says Diamond, who played Screech in the 1990s series Saved by the Bell, stabbed him on Christmas Day when the two fought at a bar in Port Washington.

The 38-year-old Diamond is charged with a felony count of second-degree recklessly endangering safety and two misdemeanours — disorderly conduct and carrying a concealed weapon.

Diamond and his girlfriend, Amanda Schutz, have pleaded not guilty, and defence attorneys maintain that video footage of the two men fighting is murky.
