A 19-year-old Texas teen, Karmelo Anthony, stands trial for allegedly stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during a track meet in April 2025. The defense argues self-defense amid intense courtroom drama and heated, racially charged protests outside. Body camera footage and witness accounts fuel the emotional stakes, while Metcalf’s twin breaks down during playback. Jury selection is underway amid national attention, with both sides fundraising and public scrutiny. If convicted, Anthony faces a lengthy sentence—but not death, since he was 17 at the time. The trial hinges on finding impartial jurors in a case that’s already ignited a firestorm across the country.
