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.

Please put this nigger on the stand. Have the prosecutor call him a nigger, watch as he tries stabbing him to death, and prove to the jury he's a retarded ape. Maybe he'll talk in retarded nigger babel and make it impossible for anyone to understand him.

 

[cool4thcat]

About as bad as it could possibly get for Karmelo. I wonder how long the defense will flop around until they just concede.

that'd go like this

 

[That Guy Who Likes The Chili]

Karmelo should have already been in for life now.

I find it hilarious they tried to slow walk the shit out of this trial, the judge even put a media black out on everything for like a year just to try and quash the racial tensions, only for it to take place right when some fucking Poop-nigger in the UK stabbed another White kid unprovoked and a China-man got let off for shooting a poor innocent Astronaut American Child.

Hopefully this case ignites a racial powder keg regardless of the outcome just to spite the judge and Metcalfs dad and all the other faggots trying to make it not about race.

 

[The Man With No Name]

About as bad as it could possibly get for Karmelo. I wonder how long the defense will flop around until they just concede.

The Defense will most likely call some character witnesses who are favorable to Karmelo and who were not present at the incident at all. Cross examination might lead to some funny moments.

1. The deadliest attack on American soil involved box cutters.

You're rhetoric dishonestly obscures the ratio of deaths via box cutter as compared to deaths by some of the other things that happened in that attack.

Also I think they were already flying when they killed the flight attendant so it wasn't technically on US soil, unlike flight 93.

Yes, their is some massive NGO that Soros, Gates, and other shitfucks donate to, who then donate to smaller groups, who in turn donate to even smaller (local) groups that fund the riots.

Don't forget Neville Singham.

GROUNZ ya honnuh

Don't start that shit, next thing you know he'll defending himself asking for admiralty court and "tack-it" agreements.

 

[BoobWhiskers]

@holyhandgrenade thanks so much for putting the time in to record all the updates witness by witness here in one place, it's been nice to get to read through.

Do we happen to have any Kiwis in the general Frisco area for an idea of how much this case is in the public consciousness right now? Like yeah we've seen a handful of the usual no-9-to-5 suspects hooting and hollering and drinking cheap wine in the 90 degree heat outside, but how much is this being discussed at the dinner table?

 

[The Dude]

Niggers are so goddamn socially maladjusted that they literally cannot comprehend how basic respect, politeness and civility will get you what you want nine times out of ten.

That's the thing: they view being told what to do, being corrected when they break a rule, or being called out for acting like a loud, obnoxious, inconsiderate spear-chucking savage in public AS disrespect. They don't understand that respect is not only a two-way street, but that they aren't automatically owed respect simply for existing. That they have to earn respect, and that is done through behaving like a civilized fucking adult. Fagmello saw being told that he didn't belong under that tent and had to go to his own area as disrespect.

We can't live with these fucking animals. I used to think that getting rid of all the uncivilized avenue apes while keeping the civilized, productive ones would be OK, but more and more I don't even want the "White-acting house nigger" types because they refuse to call out their bad actors. They refuse to take them to task and tell them to stop acting like violent knuckle-draggers because they make all blacks look bad. I'm getting to the point where I want anyone with skin darker than a Mediterranean Greek fucking gone.

 

[Sweeter and Savoury]

About as bad as it could possibly get for Karmelo. I wonder how long the defense will flop around until they just concede.

It was never really going to go well for the nigger.

3 witnesses standing next to Metcalf watched the nigger stab him
2 different video cameras captured the attack
The nigger-child himself told the po-po that he did it while he was in the cop car

The only hope Mellow Yellow had was that the jury would just ignore the facts and not convict just because... he is a nigger. Hence all the tugs on the heartstrings by the defence, the "Austin was a bully" routine and the constant references to Mellow's skin color all trying to get the jury to forget the facts and just feel bad for the poor widdle future doctor who was just under constant attack by the big bad white racist Metcalf.

The defence is doing what it can but this is a lost cause. The nigger should have taken the plea deal.

I grew up in a town right next to Frisco that's why I'm so interested. When the Metcalf kid said we are in Frisco you don't have anything he was 100% right. My mother still lives nearby and it's going to be relatively peaceful from what I can tell. I could just say this based on my nearly 30 years of living in the area, that allows me to know that Frisco is about as white bread suburban as it gets (except The Colony, and Little Elm) with a bunch of jeets now who don't give a fuck about niggers. They had to change their high school football mascot from being the coons. Tbf racial demographics have changed a little, but there's not enough ghetto around there for riots to really take off.

He knew not to relax

hell yeah brother

The deal offered probably wasn't very good. DA doesn't give you a sweetheart deal when evidence is so strong. Might have been like 40 years in the clink if you plead.

 

[WonderWino]

If Chris Chan could make the honor roll, anyone can. This includes murderous niggers.

Not to mention lucas werner. He made honor roll at scc for some looney english papers he wrote talking about his magic sperm and how he should be able to impregnate teen girls cause of said magic sperm and telomere nonsense. More to the point the school recognized he's a fucking retard and not only allowed him to submit such a paper to his english class but upped his grade to get him onto honor roll for it

That is the shit i'm immediately reminded of whenever one of these idiots tries to say how they're totally a good person who dindu nuffin cause of being on the honor roll

Doesn't mean shit these days and if those two creeps can get onto it anybody can like you said. Its hardly an endorsement of anything other than the possibility the school did it because the student is a dumbass

Two things:

Slight discrepancies in testimony are good. Shows that the witnesses didn't all get together and rehearse their story.

Also, in an attempt to dox a bunch of minors, I looked at the football roster. Looks like a diverse team, so that changes the equation a bit if it wasn't White Boy Summer telling the one darkie to fuck off.

it wasn't a football game but similar principles still apply since most of them seemed to do both track and football

Karmelo is obviously a retarded nigger but I’m assuming the Peppa Pig word puzzles were for one of his younger siblings (I remember his sheboon mother screeching about how the younger kids were having nightmares as justification for why they had to spend half a million on a new house).

I’m in a drama group on Facebook that’s mostly ghetto black women and this was a handful of responses on a post asking whether people thought it was murder or self defense.



I used to think we could all get along and now I think we need to remigrate these fucking apes back to Africa. They’re not fit for civilized society.

Why remigrate them, why let them have Africa?

Exterminate them and free all of us from having to waste untold energy and resources keeping them alive.

We could have been colonizing the solar system by now if we didn't have to waste time babysitting these genetic dead ends.

Imagine how much better our lives could be if the world, collectively, didn't have to keep pouring trillions of dollars into Africa every year to prevent niggers from eating each other.

I don't understand why some can't steelman their position and put themselves on the opposite side.

Let's say I am using a park BBQ grill / table and it's raining. Seeking shelter from the rain, I move my food and setup to a reserved grill area. But a Black family arrives and they start moving my food to the uncovered table I was originally at.

The bigger Black dad then grabs my arm an says time to go.

How in the world would I be justified in shooting in the black man?
