Karmelo Anthony attorney asks judge for new trial in Texas track meet killing
· KRGV (NBC 5)
Karmelo Anthony's attorney has requested a new trial for the teenager convicted of fatally stabbing a fellow athlete during a high school track meet in McKinney, Texas. The defense argues that procedural errors and a lack of access to court proceedings compromised the trial. They claim the original judge allowed a 'shadow docket' that excluded critical information. Anthony, now 19, was sentenced to 35 years in prison for the killing of Austin Metcalf. The prosecution maintains that Anthony received a fair trial and that his attorneys had agreed to the trial's conduct. The case has drawn national attention due to its racial implications.
