The lawyers for a boy who killed another teen at a track meet in Texas want the murder charge against him downgraded.
Billy Clark and Kim T. Cole will represent high school senior Karmelo Anthony after he fatally stabbed Austin Metcalf, 17, at the Kuykendall Stadium last week in Frisco.
The attorneys say they plan on working with the Collin County District Attorney’s Office to seek an agreement for a 'better determination' of the filed murder charge, as reported by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
They also want Anthony's 'excessive' $1 million bond reduced.
'Karmelo like all citizens of the United States, is entitled to a fair and impartial legal process,' the attorneys said. 'We are committed to ensuring that Karmelo’s rights are indeed protected throughout each phase of the criminal justice system.'
They added: 'Karmelo and the entire Anthony family are sincerely saddened that a life was lost and offer their condolences to the family of Austin Metcalf.'
It comes after Frisco authorities have issued multiple statements denying unfounded rumors regarding Metcalf's killing.
A viral post that falsely claimed to be from the Collin County Medical Examiner’s Office said Metcalf died from an 'MDMA drug overdose' and that the stab wound was a secondary factor.
'The Frisco Police Department is aware of an image circulating on social media purporting to be a report from the Collin County Medical Examiner’s Office,' police said in a statement Friday. 'At this time, the report has NOT been released. Therefore, any information currently found online is FALSE.'
'Beware of those taking to social media to deliberately spread misinformation, hate, fear and division,' Shilson said, in reference to posts shared online highlighting that Metcalf is white and Anthony is black.

Excessive? I think it's too low! It should be revoked so that thug does not stab another kid.
They’re trying to make a new George Floyd character out of this dirty little savage.
That is SICK!!
"We are sorry our kid knifed your kid to death. Oh well. We'll ask him to not do that again."
The feral youth should already be hanging from a tree!
straight A student murdered by a feral youth destined for prison.
What a loss.
People are telling me Texas is not going to put up with this BS and they will find him guilty no matter how good of lawyers he gets. Is this true?
The murderer as a victim.
Seems to remember a Jewish friend telling me chutzpah was a teen who murders his parents then asks the court for leniency because he’s an orphan.
So what is the shocking revelation? Nothing new that I can tell.
The young Buck was reportedly arrested at a strip club, where he fled after the murder.
What’s especially galling is the $200,000 evil people have sent to GiveSendGo to excuse and defend this murderer.
Turns out the murderer is black. Shocking!
‘Karmelo like all citizens of the United States, is entitled to a fair and impartial legal process,’
Brilliant. They know to use the “at least he isn’t an illegal alien” argument.
Who brings a knife to a track meet?
Yeah. Really doubt this is gonna get any traction in Texas.
No, he never left the track meet. He was arrested there.
The rumors from both sides are spreading out of control.
Charge him with premeditated murder.
Yeah. Really doubt this is gonna get any traction in Texas. |
I hope not. And although I like Governor Abbott, I'll never forget his prayers at the Golden Casket of St. George of Fentanly.
Let's hope he doesn't go all squishy here.
This tells you they know they’ve got nothing.
Someone who’s looking for trouble. Ready to create it.
Why was the kid in the other team’s tent in the first place?
No one was “bullying” him until he went in there and acted up.
