Karmelo Anthony appeals murder conviction, citing trial access limits and alleged judge bias

Attorneys for Karmelo Anthony filed an appeal seeking a new trial, alleging trial-access restrictions, an unwritten agreement to exclude certain evidence, and bias from a judge’s post-trial comments; they also request the judge’s recusal. The case concerns a 2025 fatal stabbing at a Frisco, Texas track meet, with Anthony (19 at filing; 17 at the time) convicted of murder after admitting to the stabbing but claiming self-defense, while prosecutors maintain the verdict was fair. The defense team is a high-profile pro bono group amid national attention tied to race.

Pereira weighs legal routes after controversial Freedom 250 loss

Alex Pereira is weighing legal options to challenge his UFC Freedom 250 loss to Ciryl Gane, citing questionable officiating and shots to the back of the head he argues the referee failed to properly regulate. Pereira criticized Herb Dean’s handling and suggested he should not referee his fights again, while his team says they are exploring all grounds for an appeal. He stresses health and safety concerns and warns about long-term risks, keeping the door open to future fights or retirement.

NH Court Throws Out Adam Montgomery Murder Conviction, Keeps Other Charges

The New Hampshire Supreme Court reversed Adam Montgomery’s second-degree murder conviction in Harmony Montgomery’s death, ruling the trial improperly joined the murder charge with the separate assault charge and highlighting stronger evidence for the July 2019 assault than for the December 2019 murder. The court left intact the other convictions (assault, abuse of a corpse, falsifying physical evidence, witness tampering), and Montgomery will remain imprisoned for those convictions. A parallel wrongful-death suit by Harmony’s mother was also decided in her favor earlier this week.

Frisco track meet murder case heads to appellate review after 35-year sentence

Karmelo Anthony filed a Notice of Appeal less than 24 hours after a Collin County jury convicted him of murder in the fatal Frisco track meet stabbing of Austin Metcalf and sentenced him to 35 years in prison. The appellate effort is expected to focus on trial procedures and evidentiary issues rather than the jury’s verdict, with the case moving to the 5th District Court of Appeals as documents and transcripts are prepared; Anthony has been transferred to a Texas Department of Criminal Justice facility following sentencing.

NCAA appeals Sorsby eligibility ruling in fast-track case

The NCAA filed an accelerated appeal to Texas’ Seventh District Court challenging the ruling that reinstated Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby after he admitted betting on college games; a final decision is expected by June 22 to align with NFL supplemental-draft timing, and the sparse four-page ruling could help the appeals court overturn it. Sorsby has already received a two-game suspension amid public outcry over gambling by a player on a college roster.

Virginia redistricting referendum halted by court over constitutional concerns

A Virginia judge blocked certification of Tuesday's congressional map referendum, ruling the referendum and the bill triggering it unconstitutional; the Tazewell Circuit Court had previously blocked the referendum, while the Virginia Supreme Court had overruled two circuit orders, and the attorney general said the decision would be appealed as higher-court cases continue.
