Karmelo Anthony Prosecutor Reveals Evidence Jury Never Saw
Prosecutors said jurors never saw texts and other evidence that they say showed Anthony’s violent mindset before the fatal stabbing.
- During Thursday's hearing, prosecutors revealed that Karmelo Anthony allegedly texted about stabbing someone hours before killing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf, evidence surfacing during his request for a new trial.
- Anthony was convicted of murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison for the 2025 stabbing of Metcalf at a Frisco, Texas, track meet, though he claimed self-defense during the confrontation.
- A "gentleman's agreement" between attorneys had previously excluded evidence regarding Anthony's alleged stalking of an ex-girlfriend and Metcalf's past to focus solely on the track meet incident.
- Following the removal of District Judge John Roach, Retired District Court Judge Michael Chitty was assigned to consider Anthony's retrial request after Roach was recused for public comments about the case.
- Anthony's new legal team—including Texas NAACP president Gary Bledsoe and appellate lawyer Russell Wilson—is conducting an independent review of the trial record to identify potential errors.
