Judge to Consider New Trial for Karmelo Anthony in Texas Homicide Case
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
A judge in McKinney, Texas, will consider a new trial for 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony, convicted of murder for the stabbing death of 17-year-old athlete Austin Metcalf during a school track event. The judge overseeing the original trial was removed from the case, and Judge Michael Chitty will now review Anthony's legal team's request for a retrial. Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison and attended the hearing in prison attire. His defense argues that the original trial was flawed due to strict courtroom rules and inadequate jury instructions. The case gained national attention amid racial discussions, although both sides insisted race was not a factor.
