Backlash Mounts Against Karmelo Anthony Supporters After Murder Verdict

Karmelo Anthony was convicted of fatally stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Frisco, Texas track meet and sentenced to 35 years. His supporters insist the act was self-defense, but public backlash followed, including a Texas parole supervisor losing her job over social-media comments and academics criticizing the verdict while calling for a new trial amid alleged racial dynamics in juror selection.
