A Texas judge has denied Karmelo Anthony’s request for a new trial, upholding his 35-year prison sentence for the 2019 fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet. The decision, made Saturday, leaves Anthony’s murder conviction intact.
Anthony had sought a new trial following a dispute over testimony presented during the original proceedings. The judge did not publicly state the reasoning for denying the request.
Both the Washington Times and the Independent reported on the judge’s decision. No center-leaning outlets reported on this story. The case began with a confrontation at a high school track meet, resulting in Metcalf’s death and Anthony’s subsequent conviction.
