FRISCO, Texas — Karmelo Anthony, the teen accused of fatally stabbing another teen, Austin Metcalf, at a Frisco track meet, has been indicted on a murder charge, officials said.

A grand jury indicted Anthony on Tuesday, according to the Collin County District Attorney's Office. A murder charge is punishable by 5-99 years or life in prison.



Anthony, a 17-year-old former student of Frisco Centennial High School, was arrested and charged with murder in the fatal stabbing of Frisco Memorial High School student athlete Austin Metcalf in April at a track meet in Frisco ISD's Kuykendall Stadium. He was released from jail later that month after his bond was reduced from $1 million to $250,000.

Anthony has claimed self defense in the case, which garnered national attention, heightening racial tensions and raising security concerns among everyone connected to the case, including both families and Judge Angela Tucker, who is presiding over the case.

"We know this case has struck a deep nerve — here in Collin County and beyond," Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis said in a statement Tuesday. "That’s understandable. When something like this happens at a school event, it shakes people to the core. But the justice system works best when it moves with steadiness and with principle. That’s what we’re committed to. And that’s exactly what this case deserves."

Anthony's attorney, Mike Howard, called Tuesday's indictment "an expected and routine step in the legal process."

"Karmelo and his family are confident in the justice system and the people of Collin County to be fair and impartial," Howard said. "Of course, Karmelo looks forward to his day in court. It's only in a trial that a jury will hear the full story, one that includes critical facts and context that the grand jury simply didn't get to hear."

Howard again raised Anthony's self defense claim in his statement Tuesday.

"We expect that when the full story is heard, the prosecution will not be able to rule out the reasonable doubt that Karmelo Anthony may have acted in self defense," Howard said. "Self defense is a fundamental right guaranteed every American."



Metcalf's father, Jeff Metcalf, told WFAA in a statement that he's "pleased that we are moving forward."

“With the first degree murder indictment, it now goes into the court system," Jeff Metcalf said. "I fully believe that justice will be served for Austin Metcalf. I look forward to the forthcoming trial. But it will never bring my son back.“

Under his bond conditions, Anthony is required to wear an ankle monitor and ask permission to leave his home. If Anthony violates any conditions of his bond, he will have to return to jail. He graduated and received his high school diploma in May, but did not attend the ceremony, WFAA previously reported.

Anthony allegedly confessed to the stabbing immediately after he was arrested, claiming he was defending himself from Metcalf, officials said, as WFAA previously reported.

A witness reportedly told police that Metcalf told Anthony he had to move out from under the Memorial High School tent. Anthony responded by opening his bag and reaching inside, WFAA previously reported.

"Touch me and see what happens," Anthony told Metcalf, according to a witness.

Metcalf reportedly then touched Anthony, the witness told a responding officer, and Anthony told Metcalf to punch him and see what would happen. Soon afterward, the witness said, Metcalf reportedly grabbed Anthony to tell him to move. At which point, the affidavit continues, Anthony reportedly pulled out what the witness recalled as a black knife and stabbed Metcalf once in the chest before running away.

The deep tension sparked by the incident has raised concerns that the case may be tried outside of Collin County. Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis told WFAA that the judge will make that decision at the time of trial.

Hey, it works. After I got my 3rd jury duty summon in 5 years, I just told them I have a strong racial bias, and that I support maximum sentencing and capital punishment. Fuck spending a week off work for a pittance, they got me the first time, find someone else. They DO ask you during the selection if there are any factors that might sway your opinions independent of the facts of the case, he was just being honest.

Is it really that easy to avoid jury duty? I see stories from people being punished for trying to avoid it, but if all that takes to legally avoid it is to mention you support total nigger death, then they don't have any excuse.

Even if you try that the Judge will still give you a hard time, they will make an example out of anyone who is trying to get out of jury duty. But ultimately you getting on the jury is between the two parties. Personally, I have seen a judge get pissy at an Asian woman who claims she can't speak English and she has kids she needs to watch. He drilled into her for 5 minutes before the two parties agreed to dismiss her.

You don't need to try really hard to avoid it. For each trial a jury pool of like 200 people is summoned. They then winnow that down to 12. Many reasons can get you off of it. You only get punished if you do blatantly retarded shit to avoid it. I've been summoned 3 times in my life and I never once had to actually sit on a jury.

They give you like $10 or something per day which leads to poors staying around longer. Being summoned makes you realize how completely retarded people are and it would terrify me to have them judge me. I'd rather just have a judge hit me with something, honest to God. The last time I went some sheboon asked the lawyers what "deterrence" meant. I knew right then and there that that guy was totally fucked. It was a chomo case and that guy looked like a skeevy chomo so I am sure he got locked away for a long time. The final jury ended up having a retired fire chief and several retired school teachers on it too. No chance lol.

My only time jury duty I spent it flirting with a legit retarded chick and watching the public defender and prosecutor fumble around. It was a run of the mill methhead case and both the DA and PD sent their newbies to handle it. Don't ever get a fucking public defender ever. The dude was a SoCal surfer with a mullet and all I remember was him telling a story that explains what reasonable doubt is but it's he may or may not be getting cucked by his girlfriend in Vegas. Really odd guy. The prosecutor alright, clearly new. He spent his questions probing for anyone who wants to play the jury nullification card because it is a drug case,

On the one hand it was going to automatically be a shitshow if there were, but on the other hand this is going to be a free pass to the media, the family, the bitches on twitter, etc to claim that the outcome was rigged against their good boi no matter what happens.

They will say this no matter what. If the jury was half or more black and they returned a guilty verdict, those black jurors would be called Uncle Tom race traitors (honestly, it’s the same with the white nationalist crowd here — if this jury says he’s not guilty then they’ll be called nigger-lovers). I’m watching this trial out of curiosity, but I have no faith that rational voices will prevail in this shitshow of a race battle.

Is it possible he could move for a mistrial because of this?

the racial makeup of a jury isn't grounds for a mistrial he can try bringing it up on appeal when he loses but it's not very likely to work.
Also collin county has only 12% niggers in it on a jury of twelve people if the racial demos are accurate to population you would expect 1 only so it's really not that egregious. Then you have to remember all the niggers that are ineligible for jury duty because they are felons or whatever and that number gets even lower.

 

[FILTH Tourist]

If the jury was half or more black and they returned a guilty verdict, those black jurors would be called Uncle Tom race traitors

If they even had a single black juror he would get called slurs and harassed by Karmelo's supporters because the verdict needs to be unanimous. I don't blame the black guy being overt with his bias to get himself disqualified.

the racial makeup of a jury isn't grounds for a mistrial he can try bringing it up on appeal when he loses but it's not very likely to work.

The defense and prosecution need to agree on the jurors, if they end up with all white group then Karmelo's legal team is partly responsible for that. Unless it came out that a juror lied when getting selected, there isn't much they can do. Besides that, Karmelo's only hope is there is a single hardcore libshit white woman that really wants to have a chance to be the one to fix him.

Even if they weren't felons, a lot of them just don't want to do it. They will ignore the summons or do what they can to get disqualified. Especially when they are expected to do all they can to bat for a clearly guilty man in a high profile case or else face backlash from other black people.

 

[Jace on ice]

It's X so grain of salt but I saw reporting that one black woman was struck by the prosecution for outright saying she would never vote to put a poor black babby who dindunuffin in prison so there's a good reason there are no nogs on the jury.

It's because they can't be trusted.

 

[SITHRAK!]

I'm thinking conviction, no riots.

Now I’m no shitkicker, but I can’t help but think rioting BLM-style in most of Texas would be a dangerous pastime.

The grifter nigger is mad.

This child-abusing piece of shit should shut the fuck up. Everyone and their dog knows why prosecutors don’t want blacks on the jury in a case like this. It’s a rational response to nigger tribalism and eternal butthurt. You want blacks on juries in cases like this, teach them to stop nullifying juries when the defendant is black.

You don't need to try really hard to avoid it

Easiest way is simply to speak clearly, calmly and with intelligence, be open that you are familiar with bedrock legal principles and make a point of any familiarities you have with the issues at hand. Lawyers don’t want smart, well-informed people on the jury, they want emotive, manipulable idiots.

Going back to the Chauvin case, if I wanted to get out of jury duty on something like that, I’d make a point of my college studies in human anatomy and physiology, and my extensive readings in forensic science. The prosecution would probably boot me in less time than it took for you to read this paragraph.

What I did was say I have a religious opinion that I am unfit for jury duty and that only God can truly judge a man, and I don't feel comfortable playing god.


Anyway, nobody has posted this yet, shame on you.

You guys keep talking about avoiding jury duty, I keep trying to get on one. I always get the e-mail saying I don't need to show up.

He should move for new counsel. Is his lawyer still that grandstanding huckster who turned this into a clownshow?

Nothing is said about what color the peers need to be, and it should make no difference, Any 'activists' claims to the contrary are bullshit. The jury will see and hear the testimony and evidence and make the appropriate decision.

And given that roughly 14 white people are assaulted by blacks for every black person assaulted by whites… well let’s just say the judge has a good reason to worry about jury nullification by a black juror. A not guilty (self defense) verdict could well be the spark that triggers multiple white-on-black self-defense killings, and those could combine into wider violence.

I know you sperg about this, but do you have a dataset or report to validate the 14:1. It's been bothering me for a bit because I've heard it a couple times now. Obviously numbers will fluctuate and different reporting leads to different numbers, but I'm curious if 14:1 is actually the interracial murder ratio. When I checked violent victimization myself, it was something like 36:1, which is close to this one we've all seen:

Here's the one I made:

It's truly insane how we have to deal with them. They legitimately believe every single conspiracy theory about whites stealing their inventions, making leather suits out of them and shit, smfh.

I'm sure this has been covered, but much like Sheriff Bart, I'd like to know where the white women are. When asked if they'd convict a black person they're at least smart enough to lie.

that last bit is very worrying.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a mistrial from the jury members being followed home and intimidated. The press tried that shit with the Rittenhouse jury and I wouldn’t put it past them to have cameras conveniently present when activists start pounding on doors at two in the morning.

Which is funny, because it's typically blacks who take credit for inventions without any merit. Take George Washington Carver and peanut butter for example. He didn't invent peanut butter. Peanut butter and other spreadable peanut-based foods had been around for quite a while. Native South American tribes had been making it for centuries. Or the "traffic signals being invented by a black person" when it was only one particular style of traffic signal that was only used in a small area of one particular city, but was quickly replaced by a better design of traffic signal. There's actually a great website about black invention myths that goes into detail about the various "this thing was invented by a black person" bullshit, where the bullshit started, and who is actually to credit for it's real invention. I'll see if I can find a link to it, but it's pretty easy to find via web search.

There is also the whole angle of receiving a bounty via crowdfunding for it.

I was in my basement with Bugenhagen screaming like the crazy fucker he is in my earbuds. Slapped my dick everywhere but nobody cared, felt like I missed out. GF asked what the noise was about. They just don't understand.

Anyway we should go beat up niggers.

I understand, bro
