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.

financial and fraud crimes require some know how

Ehhh- if 85IQ Somalis can defraud state and federal governments for hundreds of millions of dollars it says to me all they need is white shitlibs to look the other way.

I was thinking more along the lines of banking fraud, credit card fraud, and workplace embezzlement. If there is easy money to be made they will figure it out.

The Somali fraud stuff is a whole different beast and it isn't just the government simply turning a blind eye. Someone had to teach these fresh off the boaters how to play the corporate shell game so the goverment can have plausible deniability.

 

[Jimmy Dean Bowl]

Fuck this nog for putting Austin's family through a trial, and fuck him for putting those kids through the trauma of reliving the horror they witnessed.
These people can't just plead guilty, it's too honest.

 

[Twix Eatr]

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.

Sure, if by financial + fraud crimes you're including George Floyd passing counterfeit $20's to buy a pack of Newpos. But which financial and fraud crimes requiring intelligence have black people equally represented, and not just pawns of whites?

But perhaps you're right, it's the economical black man realizing supply and demand may curb his ROI on Tor or something. The people who rape toddlers to cure their AIDS probably draw the line at downloading kids.

They're more likely complicit.

lol how much of that is due to low moral character + white people being legislated out of calling it out and preventing it entirely? Blacks stealing shit isn't high intelligence. They can't even figure out their theft is the reason for these "food deserts."

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.

I remember during the Rittenhouse trial that there was a lot of discussion about if Kyle would take the stand. It's normally something that you do not want to do. However, Kyle's team sent him up there because it was a self defense trial and they thought it was their best chance to convince the jury that he was in fear for his life. It came up aces for Kyle. Karmelo's team need to please roll that dice and put dey boi up dere! You scured? Bitch ass niggas.

In reality, Karmelo's team is probably adept enough to know putting a guilty retard that admitted to cops that he did it on the stand is suicide and will push against it. Hopefully, for us, the future doctor gets enough of a nigger dick that he ain't letting no lawyer to tell him what to do. He NEEDS to tell his story! No bitch ass lawyer gone talk bad about him.

That would require accountability and accepting blame, which niggers are fatally allergic to.

 

[SITHRAK!]

They're more likely complicit.

‘Complicit’


Anyone prepared to bet that there aren’t at least a hundred more ‘people like this’ that haven’t been caught?


The grass is always greener where white people are.

That would require accountability and accepting blame, which niggers are fatally allergic to.

I guarantee that Karmelo is pleading not guilty by reason of self-defense on the basis that his limited brain thinks ’he started it’ is good enough. As I said earlier in the thread, his defense lawyer should be disbarred if he implied in any way that Karmelo’s circumstances met Texas self-defense standards.

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

Access and impulse control.

This divergence is entirely explained by access, opportunity, aptitude, and impulse control:
- Low technological aptitude, increased access to minors, and low impulse control = molestation and rape outcomes.
- Higher technological aptitude, lower access to minors, and higher impulse control = CSAM-related consumption.

Ask yourself: Who do we know that has fifteen keedz from twelve baby mommas, but can't complete their online tax assessments? (Nnnniiiiiggggerrrrrsss and hoyaheyas). And who do we know that's almost never having children, isn't allowed on the playground even with their own spawn, but can build a PC with their eyes closed? (Pasty whiiiiiiite boooooys).

I’d never thought about it before, but you’re probably 100% depressingly correct. The demographics with the highest rates of CSA have inversely proportional rates of CSAM production. Not only is the product not in demand but the raw material is far more plentiful than the raw material that IS in demand (at least in the US) because there are far more unprotected black kids than any other. A black pedo is probably taking less of a risk just molesting the unparented kids around him of which there are many rather than downloading CSAM, so the demand is reduced further.

I think Richards also said that in Wisconsin you have to take the stand to make an impression (seems like a Wisconsin thing). Plus they did mock trials with Kyle taking the stand vs not taking the stand and in the former case the not guilty verdict was more likely. But you simply can't compare the cases. Kyle ran for his life until he couldn't before he even began firing his gun. This piece of shit didn't leave, he apparently provoked this reaction to have justification to stab someone. Complelt ydifferent scenario. And we all know how this case and reaction would go if the skin colour was reversed

 

[stealthjunk]

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.

Look bro, I know that, you know that, Karmelo's lawyers know that, but do the retards outside of the courthouse and Karmelo "Yeah I stabbed him" Anthony know that? Probably not. They probably only "know" that some white boy killed 3 black people and got off scott free because he cried on the stand. I think the best thing for this and everything surrounding this case is for these people to try to make their own black Rittenhouse. I don't want just a conviction. I want humiliation. I still remember when they kicked Austin's dad out of their PUBLIC FUCKING PRESS CONFERENCE while calling themselves the victims and him a racist because he was just standing there. I want everyone to be able to rub their noses in this shit pile they've created.

Good point but the likely most prolific CSAM distributor in history was a black woman.
And good luck finding her details using search engines- looking up ‘black woman usa prolific child pornographer’ and variations doesn’t bring her up at all.

 

[machine gril]

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?

Beyond this being reported in the local news, no one here gives a shit. The majority of my coworkers are black and they don’t talk about it either. It’s mostly Jeets and Mexicans in Frisco so literally no one is outraged besides unemployed niggers online.

Forgive me if repost but https://x.com/TheOnlyDSC posts are insanely redpilling.

Notice he uses humor and doesn't fly off the handle like you guys. I could never show my normie Republican friends this retarded website.

Shut up dude. The Farms ain't perfect but when you overmoderate you turn into Reddit. As far as your Republican friends go, "those people", which they probably say a lot, is just the nice way of saying ghetto fatigue, and nigger fatigue is a really not nice way of saying ghetto fatigue.

Well they beat "racist" and "nazi" into the ground, what else can they say?

Fuck this nog for putting Austin's family through a trial, and fuck him for putting those kids through the trauma of reliving the horror they witnessed.
These people can't just plead guilty, it's too honest.

I mean, I'm not a violent, short-tempered stabber, but if I was I wouldn't want to go to jail. That's not a black/white thing, it's human nature.

I remember during the Rittenhouse trial that there was a lot of discussion about if Kyle would take the stand. It's normally something that you do not want to do. However, Kyle's team sent him up there because it was a self defense trial and they thought it was their best chance to convince the jury that he was in fear for his life. It came up aces for Kyle.

It's normal in self-defense cases, you don't have to be Andrew Branca to understand why that's important. However, our biases aside I think we can all agree from what's been reported so far that there is no rational claim to self-defense here (and probably won't be).

So what do you do? If it's going as badly for Anthony as the reports claim the defense might just rest. Any witnesses called might make things worse.

The real problem is WE CAN'T SEE WHAT'S GOING ON. If we could see how the prosecution and defense are reacting we'd have a better idea as to whether or not Anthony should or shouldn't testify.

‘Complicit’

I'm saying white people are often complicit in the schemes, not that nons aren't guilty. Though tbh, whites have a glaring blindspot in that too many of us expect others to operate with honor and integrity like we try to. Our systems and societies were built with us in mind, not brownoid retards.
