No Second Chance for Karmelo Anthony? A Texas judge has denied Karmelo Anthony's bid for a new trial in the 2018 murder case of high school track star Austin Metcalf.
The decision upholds Anthony's 35 year prison sentence, which was handed down after he was found guilty by a jury. The verdict should come as no surprise to those familiar with the case.
Despite claims by Anthony's attorneys that the trial was unfair due to strict courtroom rules limiting public access, Judge Michael Chitty reviewed the evidence and arguments and concluded otherwise.
