Description

A Texas jury found 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony guilty of murdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalf after about three hours of deliberations, rejecting the defense's argument that Anthony acted in self-defense during a deadly confrontation at a high school track meet. Prosecutors argued that Anthony provoked the encounter by refusing to leave a rival school's tent area before fatally stabbing Metcalf, while the defense maintained that Anthony reacted after being pushed. A jury chose to send Anthony to prison for 35 years. Law&Crime’s Chris Stewart, alongside Court TV’s Cody Thomas, are On the Case.

Of course he sobbed. First time he’s ever faced consequences.

He isn't sobbing because he's sorry; he's sobbing because he's paying.

All those tears are for himself. None are for the person he murdered.
