Texas Prosecutors Challenge Black Teen's Self-Defense Claim in Track Meet Stabbing Trial
In McKinney, Texas, prosecutors are disputing the self-defense claim of Karmelo Anthony, a Black teenager accused of stabbing and killing Austin Metcalf, a white teenager, during a high school track meet. The incident occurred after Metcalf allegedly shoved Anthony, who is now on trial for first-degree murder. Prosecutors argue that Anthony provoked the altercation, while his defense claims he acted in self-defense against a larger aggressor. The trial has drawn national attention due to the racial dynamics and the absence of Black jurors. The prosecution presented video evidence, though it does not clearly show the stabbing due to poor weather conditions.
