Karmelo Anthony found guilty of first-degree murder in stabbing death of Austin Metcalf [PNjgRUNzE7a]
A Texas teenager who fatally stabbed a 17-year-old track athlete from a rival team during a meet was convicted of murder Tuesday in a trial that drew national attention far beyond the booming Dallas suburb where the two students attended different high schools. A jury rejected Karmelo Anthony’s claims of self-defense during a confrontation with Austin Metcalf in the stadium’s bleachers last year. Anthony, now 19, didn’t testify. Most who did were students who described a heated exchange over him refusing to leave a tent belonging to Metcalf’s team during a rainy competition. Anthony faces up to life in prison upon sentencing. #KarmeloAnthony #KarmeloAnthonyTrial #KarmeloAnthonyGuilty
