Newly released evidence from the Collin County, Texas, murder trial of Karmelo Anthony offers a detailed examination of the case. The incident involved the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf at a Dallas-area track meet last April.
The court unveiled various materials, including photographs of the knife presented as evidence and images of Anthony’s backpack. Surveillance footage from inside the Memorial High School team tent, captured moments before the confrontation, and video showing Anthony’s actions before and after the event, were also part of the release. This is the first public viewing of the photos and video evidence as the trial proceedings did not allow cameras in the courtroom.
The jury convicted Anthony of murder, sentencing him to 35 years in prison and dismissing his self-defense claim during the altercation.
What to Know
The release of evidence coincides with Anthony’s legal team’s pursuit of an appeal. During the trial, one discussion point was the physical size difference between Anthony and Metcalf. However, the jury decided that the height and weight disparity did not justify the lethal use of force.
CBS News Texas reporter J.D. Miles shared videos and photos of the newly released evidence. A notable post includes police body camera footage, capturing Anthony’s voice admitting, “I’m not alleged, I did it,” though he is not visible in the video.
