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.

Expect both guilty and anal raped in prison.

Except Chud is not guilty of actually anything besides being a retard, while this nigger is, so even if both end up in jail, the law is penalizing Whites.

A cuck father. Mother did not forgave that feral ape. And decided to press charges

Just to clarify, the state decided to press charges because they caught a guy red-handed committing 2nd degree murder on school property. You don't need the family's permission, that's for domestic incidents or things like harassment or trespass. In those cases, you need to establish a victim. In this case you have a dead person, victim is already established very clearly. They may consult the Metcalf family before finalizing a plea deal as a courtesy to ask if they're OK with it. But that's not required.

I predict a last minute plea deal will get made as the trial is kicking off, Karmelo will serve like 5-10 years on a manslaughter charge because prosecutors are pussies and getting the sure thing always trumps actual justice. Karmelo will get to live out most of his life as a free man (though also as a convicted violent felon that killed a man, so his life choices will be limited), and justice will be miscarried as usual. Because he should be serving 30 years minimum and probably a life sentence. He murdered a stranger in broad daylight at a school over being told "no".

I don't agree here for two reasons.

One, they did not charge him with 2nd degree. They went for 1st degree murder. The prosecution is probably livid with the antics from the nig and his family. This is Texas, and judges are elected in Texas, and the DA will want a conviction because there's a very high likelihood he wants to be a judge some day. Texas doesn't like it when you fumble this type of shit.

Two, the DA in Collin County does not fuck around. Take a look at the convictions he's gotten lately:



Life in prison for a nig that didn't even kill who he was assaulting. Life in prison for capital murder by nig. Life in prison for juvenile spic.

I'm not trying to aimlessly hope for the best here, I genuinely believe the prosecution will seek a life sentence.

 

[Potion_Time]

I unironically hope the jury is full of retarded niggers, and Karamello gets away with his self-defense claim, thereby setting a precedent in Texas law.

The shitlibs and niggers are NOT going to like what comes after that.

Do you think White people would follow suit? White people have built their entire culture around being “the bigger man”. While that works in an ethnically homogenous nation. No other race follows such a metric and exclusively follows in group preferences.

Well, I'm glad the Collin County DA means business and is willing to push for real justice. OTOH, you have to be careful with how you charge and prosecute. Casey Anthony is the most obvious example of this. She clearly killed her kid, but the prosecution had trouble establishing all the elements of the higher-tier charges they went for, and it backfired.

2nd degree murder for Karmelo should be a slam dunk. He had a knife illegally on school property, he purposely started a confrontation over petty shit when he wasn't cornered in any way, then killed someone over it without hesitation. Shoving someone in a wide open space at a school event gives zero justification for lethal force.

1st degree requires proving premeditation. While I personally believe Karmelo packed the knife and started invading other team areas because he was looking for a reason to stab someone, which can be argued as premeditation, it opens a gray area for the defense to attack. You'd need some rock solid evidence to confidently go for 1st, like text messages from Karmelo to others before the meet saying "Imma stab me a white boy bix nood lol" to drive the point home. I hope they have that if they are really pursuing 1st degree murder. If they do and they've already shared that with Karmelo's defense, and he's still going to trial, he's absolutely fucking retarded. If they don't, they're setting themselves up for a risky trial.

Guys
Guys
What if
Hear me out
Guys
What if Karmelo successfully gets acquitted through self defense
Guys
Does that mean white folx can then use the precedent to kill niggers that touch them as long as a warning is given first?

>What kind of parents raised Austin Metcalf?

>Reports circulating on social media suggest that Metcalf hurled that word at Anthony

This was part of the semi-organized disinfo campaign arranged by obamaphone orangutans that also falsely suggested other things, like:

-Metcalf actually died of an MDMA overdose and this is a cover up (note: a fake autopsy report was even created to support this).
-Metcalf’s father has been recorded saying “nigger” in a conversation.
-Metcalf had a history of bullying Karmelo.
-Karmelo was in the company of a friend from Metcalf’s school and had been invited there.
-Karmelo surrendered to police (he was actually identified and caught by a cop after ditching the knife and his jacket, showing intent to evade capture, and arrrested without incident).
-Metcalf was the real racist, so Karmelo wasn’t racially motivated to stab him (try to make sense of that one).
-It wasn’t a knife (prohibited at school track meets) it was a ‘cleat sharpener’.

Niggers have been shitting in the pool since day one. I just hope it doesn’t affect the trial.

I'm sure he'll be found guilty and forced to have 3 hours of community service.

Christ, not even into opening arguments and you've got some nog trying to jury tamper.

Has Metcalf's cuckdad made an appearance yet to sperg at length about how much he loves the BBC?

The window for premeditaton can be very short. They don't need to prove he came to the event hoping to kill a honky. Him gripping the knife in his backpack while stating "touch me and see what happens" already shows his intent to escalate things to lethal force over being asked to leave the tent.

Christ, not even into opening arguments and you've got some nog trying to jury tamper.

The implicit threat in trying to record potential jurors is unmistakable.

There are two unfortunate paths through jury selection.
First, one or more niggers end up on the jury, in which case it’ll be a hung jury for sure.
Or two, no niggers will be on the jury, in which case if there’s a guilty verdict, we’ll see appeals going all the way to the Supreme Court, no doubt.

Will a ‘not guilty’ verdict or hung jury being delivered on the basis of including niggers finally be the spark that wakes white people up to just how racist and partisan the black community is?

5.56 has a deep magazine (front to back), 9mm has a shorter magazine (front to back) and often has an adapter in place if all they’ve done is switch the uppers.

9mm:

1st degree requires proving premeditation

Taking a prohibited lethal weapon into an event, behaving in a provocative fashion, then using disproportionate force in response to a threat you provoked, all point to premeditation.

Additionally, Karmelo asked the cop who arrested him if he could claim self-defense. This removes the right to claim self-defense, even in a ‘stand your ground’ state, because if you kill someone in self-defense, you still have to prove it was a reasonable response to perceiving your life as being in danger. Never, ever, ever express any doubt that a self-defense claim was anything other than completely valid, justified and necessary.

If it’s not self-defense, then it’s murder. It’s not manslaughter because he intentionally carried the weapon. If he punched Metcalf and he fell and hit his head and died, or he picked up an object nearby and hit him with it, then it’s manslaughter.

Because he should be serving 30 years minimum and probably a life sentence. He murdered a stranger in broad daylight at a school over being told "no".

He should have been shot within the hour of the incident.

Yeah, 9mm is going to be the most common AR pistol caliber but there's others.

Frisco has been conquered by jeets so we could get a few of them on the jury for diversity's sake. In that case, I don't know if they would view Karmelo as their ally in the struggle against the (hu)White man.

Regardless, I hope someone burns that fucking negress's house down

 

[Tacgnol]

Did they line up some old ass coffins or something?

Black Panthers? I saw some brothers from the Nation once upon a time, but a bunch of niggers hanging around in berets and homosexually styled leather jackets? In 2026? In fucking Texas?

Nigga, please.

 

[Secret Boots]

I hope that nigger gets the death penalty.

The cops are not taking any chances and are actually running 50 ae in case things escalate to a George Floyd level chimpout.
