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.

Nigger fatigue isn't just a meme, a lot of regular people, both black and white, are just sick to death of them. How many times can you read/watch the shit they do and not just say "hey...maybe we would be better off without them."

boomers would rather chuck every white child into a canyon than ever admit their veneration of the Civil Rights era, MLK, and suicidal empathy was all wasted on a people that are retarded and hate them.
boomers will cling to the myth of "content of character" and civic nationalism until they gracelessly expire.

Plot twist: it was always about the content of their character. The skin color was just a visual cue.

 

[Jace on ice]

I just saw a video of all the fat fuck pro Karmelo nigger supporters outside the courthouse and they're chanting "you're all pedophiles."

I know pedophile means virtually nothing anymore and it's just morphed into a generic insult but it still makes zero sense.

Boomers learnt that behavior from the preceding generations, when nobody called them out on selling out the country and the people at every opportunity to do so.

Words are just magic spells to these kinds of people.

They think that if they just use a powerful enough counterspell the accusation of "murderer" will be rendered powerless and Karmelo will be freed.

Which, in turn, makes it the best place for political discussion.

God bless the first amendment and god bless Joshua Connor Moon.

Part of me wants the niggers to rage and riot

They're in Texas, not some blue state, Abbott won't fuck around and Trump is in the Whitehouse if he wants the Nasty Gurls unleashed.

Niggers won’t riot. BLM bite their kike masters hand by supporting the Palestinian cause and they’ve lost nearly all funding. They’ll ooga booga outside the courthouse and on Xitter and that’s about it.

And statistics are evil Yakubian magic.

Note that the ~6% of the population that are black males are responsible for over 20% of statutory rapes.
Note also that despite white-on-black sex crimes being basically nonexistent, the offender/victim numbers make it clear that a significant number of white kids are being raped by non-whites…

Any good summary posts or should I just scroll? Friday. Work day done. Did the dishes. Heard rumors that Karmelo's much worse off than we originally thought. That true?

@holyhandgrenade has been compiling the livetweeting from some of the news sources, so if you just search their posts that'll give you a good summary of the courtroom happenings.

Assorted speculation on the role of the melanin-enabled in American society can be found anytime after 5pm.

Supposedly the trial is continuing tomorrow so more to come even on the weekend!

 

[Ser Prize]

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 mean Cosby tried. Look how that worked for him.

 

[Twix Eatr]

they literally showed the pocket knife in court right before her testimony
Edit: just a heads up I'm just updating the spoilered comments with the entirety of that person's testimony as it comes in so I don't shit up the thread with long comments and multiposting

Damn, I swear it was always reported as a fixed-blade knife, which was a pretty crucial detail. Thanks for the correction.

 

[The best and greatest]

But it’s ridiculous to assume Karmelo is some typical kid who saw a white person and immediately resorted to stabbing.

Why? What's ridiculous about a racist acting on his hatred?

What was the definitive proof that Karmelo was a racist?

When he stabbed a White boy for no real reason.

 

[Twix Eatr]

It looks to me that Anthony was looking to provoke Austin so he could stab him and claim it was self defense. This is pure nigga behavior and he's gonna end up in jail because he doesn't understand that being pushed ain't enough to stab a man.

That's 100% what he did according to witness reports I read back when this happened. He dared Austin to put his hands on him. Eventually, Austin literally put his hands on him with what I interpreted to be a single hand, maybe shove. Cigarello then dared him to punch him, which Austin wouldn't/didn't. But Austin eventually tried shoving him away/out or grabbed him and that's when Cigarello stabbed him and darted off.

I also read that his hand was in the backpack for most of this, concealing the knife,. Austin either didn't see it or thought he was bluffing. It's worth noting that someone scared for their lives would almost certainly "bluff" by producing the knife to back the person off of them. Retard black did the opposite, concealing his strength while luring in Austin to justify his attack. Cigarello didn't tell the first responders that he was about to be killed or was being jumped by two twins, but that "he put his hands on me." To me, it sounds like the 85 IQ talking, as if to say, "I met the legal requirement to murder this white devil."

Luckily, doesn't seem like there are too many, but if he is convicted, which is likely to happen, there will be chaos.

Where are you getting this idea that it's a fringe group of blacks who think like this?

nigguh wut if you're not gonna read anything about the trial at least don't come here and just say random shit

I only ever heard about the non-folding knife in early reports.

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'm seeing a fair bit of discussion about this case on social media. A mix of pro-Karmelo and anti-Karmelo.

Can you please post that image (and any convos you see worthy, TLS) here?

I just saw a video of all the fat fuck pro Karmelo nigger supporters outside the courthouse and they're chanting "you're all pedophiles."

I know pedophile means virtually nothing anymore and it's just morphed into a generic insult but it still makes zero sense.

They don't understand per capita because 85 is too low an IQ for the level of abstraction required. They do know that whitey always talks about it when they tell us more whites are on Welfare, that more whites commit some crimes more than blacks, etc. To them, it's a magic spell to get us off the hook for being the real devils.

A crime that white people do seem to contribute more of, even with per capita, is the production of CSA material. It's worth noting that whites still fall within their range here, it's just not a stat where blacks always dominate like others.* I haven't dove far into that metric, but it's a real stat, so they cling to it. While it's probably {{{white people}}} and a crime that self-selects for intelligence and/or a willingness for those around you to report you for it, it's what they use to suggest all whites are diddlers. Meanwhile:


* 45.8% of individuals sentenced for child pornography were sentenced for possessing child pornography; 43.1% for trafficking child pornography; and 11.1% for receiving child pornography. 99.1% were men. 71.2% were White, 18.0% were Hispanic, 6.0% were Black, and 4.8% were Other races.
* 93.6% of sexual abuse offenders were men. 57.5% were White, 16.1% were Black, 12.1% were Native American, 11.8% were Hispanic, and 2.5% were Other races. ♦ 74.6% of offenders in cases involving production of child pornography were White.

So black people are overrepresented in actual rape, American Indians are astronomically overrepresented in actual rape, and whites are underrepresented. When charges with having CSA are considered in the stats above, it's split between trafficking it and possessing it, and whites are still underrepresented per capita. However, blacks are suddenly massively underrepresented. It's kind of hard to find stats on CSA itself, which I find interesting. But hey, we know how that goes anyway:

I'm not sure intelligence is the key here as financial and fraud crimes require some know how and they are well represented there as well. Could be an issue of market demands and access? If it is anything like normal porn the vast majority of people want white or asian girls with black girls being far less desirable. So the risk/reward isn't going to be worth it for a black guy to sell/trade pics of his little cousin online.
