Karmelo Anthony Trial Deep-Dive: Part 2
About this episode
This episode features an in-depth analysis of Karmelo Anthony's murder trial and the jury's verdict.
Karmelo Anthony’s lethal force against Austin Metcalf during a 2025 teenage track meet scuffle was not justified. That was the finding of the Texas jury in Anthony’s case last week. The same panel sentenced the 19-year-old to 35 years in prison for murder. Yet the conviction remains a topic of intense interest and controversy. It has been framed as a racial injustice by Anthony’s supporters despite testimony from a number of witnesses that he was not in danger. Metcalf, 17, another local athlete, died for nothing and the verdict was deserved, others say. In this episode, James Stainton, a district attorney from another county in the greater Dallas area, breaks down the law and how it applies. Stainton explains to The Trial: USA’s Kayla Brantley that the jury followed the law. Tune in for this in-depth analysis on Anthony’s case.
