The horrific death of high school athlete Austin Metcalf on April 2, 2025, sent shockwaves through the Frisco, Texas, community when it happened.
So it should come as little surprise that the ongoing trial has been emotionally charged.
It's been so charged that even the alleged murderer, Karmelo Anthony, appears to have had a visible response to footage of that tragic night.
According to the New York Post, Anthony "squirmed" and was "fidgeting" while some of the more disturbing footage from the incident was being shown.
At other points of the trial, Anthony rubbed his eyes and "quivered." Things even got heated at one point, with the judge dismissing various people to try and keep order in the charged case.
“Holy God, holy God,” Hunter Metcalf, Austin's twin brother, cried in prayer, as the bodycam footage showed. He was in the same tent where the incident occurred.
The grieving brother could also be heard saying: “He’s my best friend! He’s my brother! Hurry up!”
The bodycam footage came from the track and field meet, where Anthony, a student at Frisco Centennial High School, allegedly stabbed and killed Austin, a student at Frisco Memorial High School.
Anthony was apparently in the Frisco Memorial track and field team tent, and when Metcalf asked him to leave, some sort of confrontation occurred. It ultimately led to Anthony fatally stabbing Metcalf.
In June 2025, a grand jury indicted Anthony for murder.
“With the first degree murder indictment, it now goes into the court system,” Jeff Metcalf, Austin’s father, said at the time. “I fully believe that justice will be served for Austin Metcalf. I look forward to the forthcoming trial.”
“But it will never bring my son back.”
Interestingly, Anthony’s supporters had largely tried to make the case a racial issue, and framed Anthony’s actions as those of self-defense.
“This case is yet another example of what it means to be Black in America, where even our self-defense is questioned, scrutinized, and politicized,” one prominent Anthony supporter posted.
However, according to NBC News, witnesses to the heinous act apparently told a different story.
The outlet reported that multiple witnesses actually characterized Anthony as the aggressor in the fatal incident.
Witnesses recounted that while Metcalf did push Anthony at one point, they said the latter was still the primary instigator.

Hidden in a backpack that you then take to the other school’s tent................
I would hope so. The demons inside him are probably rasslin'. The inevitable guilty verdict will probably be tossed on appeal and result in a re-trial where he will be convicted again.
Meanwhile, it's reported that the $600k raised for him on GoFundMe has already been spent by his family. He's on his 2nd or 3rd team of lawyers.
He may not see a noose or Ol' Sparky, but he's already destroyed his life along with an innocent young man.
I couldn’t care less about his “emotional reactions”.
That this is a news story posted on a supposedly “conservative” site (GP) shows just how far gone we are as a society.
Thanks. I never saw that.
In the movie The Tower of London (Basil Rathbone, Boris Karloff, 1939) set in 1471-1483, some young boys jostled each other to get the best position on a building roof to “watch his head fall off under the axe.” Big crowds always attracted.
Sidelight. The sadistic but lovable Boris Karloff character thought ahead as the two guards held a prisoner walking down a dungeon corridor. He waited in the distance and thrust his foot out as the prisoner escape and ran.
Unlike the agents watching the DC correspondents’ dinner armed would be assassin Cole Tomas Allen running up to them and jumping out of the way (!!) to politely let him run past.
I just found out that the trial is going on today. They want the trial to end in two weeks so they are going to court on Saturday.
What no one will say, but to only whisper, is that Anthony went into the other tent to see what he could steal.
Mostly rumors shortly after the stabbing, but voiced nonetheless.
Kids do stupid stuff for a variety of reasons.
The trial started today with a blistering opening attack on the defense.
Here’s Matt Walsh in a 14 minute video talking about it on Rumble: https://rumble.com/v7avg5i-everything-that-happened-on-day-1-of-the-karmelo-anthony-trial.html?e9s=src_v1_s%2Csrc_v1_s_o&sci=eb237b07-ee89-41f3-9992-3ed24cbda1fe
The usual suspects are protesting on the court steps saying he’s only a young black man, and there is nothing wrong with killing Whites.

It is already established that Karmelo killed Metcalf. He admitted he did.
This trial was about whether he killed him in self defense.
He is not eligible for death penalty due to his age.
Frisco gave Karmelo a high school diploma despite him not attending the last month and a half of the school year.
Frisco is turning into an Indian colony. I want out of here so bad.
He was 17 at the time he murdered Metcalfe. He's 19 now. Plenty old enough for prison.
It helps get past the Affirmative Action screens if the race is clear on the application. After all, how many White or Yellow or Red Karmelos have you met?
I thought he was a “star” athlete at his school, maybe he had an attitude of “Don’t you know who I am?”, I get my way at my school, this is MY SCHOOL and I run it, I’m the big man on campus, I can do what i want and you aren’t allowed to stop me. Isn’t one of his parents connected to the school or connected politically? That type of narcissistic attitude can be dangerous when they don’t get their way. Specifically, who do you think you are trying to tell me I have to leave or I can’t sit where I want, especially coming from a white boy. Big shot syndrome.
One journalist described Anthony as a child but described the victim as a man. They were the same age.
The judge does appear to be running it efficiently. Although not up to the standards I saw in the deep South decades ago, when the judge could run through a couple of routine felony jury trials a day. A murder case might take a full day or a couple of days.
They used to be in Plano but fled north as the Muslims flooded in. Stick it out; the Indians will probably move on up Preston soon to Prosper and Celina.
Then the Muslims will move into Frisco.
