A Texas judge denied Karmelo Anthony’s bid for a new trial in the Frisco track-meet stabbing, leaving his 35-year murder sentence in place; the defense argued rights were violated by courtroom restrictions, hearings held without Anthony present, and an unwritten agreement with prosecutors about evidence, but the ruling provided no detailed reasoning and Anthony will continue his appeal.
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.
