Trial Against Young Man Accused of Killing His Classmate in a Competition in Texas
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
After a controversial jury selection process that saw the removal of three jurors (African Americans), the trial against 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony has finally begun in Collin County. Anthony admitted to stabbing Justin Metcalf, a fellow high school student in Frisco, in April 2025, and the defense argues that he acted in self-defense. The controversy erupted because, of the 12 jurors, three were African American, like Anthony, and the judge decided to dismiss them because they are educators. This has sparked anger, with many labeling the trial as racially charged. Discussions on social media highlight that the accused is Black and the victim was Anglo-Saxon, and now all jurors are Anglo-Saxon.
