It was earlier reported that certain facts and evidence about Karmelo Anthony and Austin Metcalf’s past were not revealed to the jury during Anthony’s trial because of a gentleman’s agreement between the defense and prosecution.
Now that Anthony’s new defense team is appealing his conviction, the controversial evidence has been revealed. The Daily Mail has obtained a 75-page court document that discloses Anthony’s violent pictures, racist remarks and homophobic texts.
One piece of evidence is an image taken on May 5, 2024, which shows Anthony flaunting an AK-47-style rifle with his three friends. Six months later, he allegedly recorded a shirtless video showing off a handgun. In October 2024, he texted his girlfriend that he might go to jail for stealing a watch from a neighbor’s house. “Burglary is up to a year,” he wrote to his girlfriend, Valeria Perez.
Then, in January 2025, he allegedly recorded another violent video, which showed him pointing a gun toward a house. Anthony also made alleged racist remarks against Black people despite being Black himself. A month before Metcalf’s stabbing, he texted his girlfriend, “I f—--- despise black b—---.”

I despise the Daily Mail for taking credit for the work of others.
Independent journalist Sarah Fields revealed all those texts and that information a week before the DM published their article. She spent her own money and did a FOIA request to obtain the documents. DM just copied her work and called it an “exclusive”.
I thought his appeal was already denied a couple of weeks ago.
“flaunting an AK-47-style rifle ... showing off a handgun”
Big deal. Something I don’t do. But I’ve been around others who do.
“racist remarks against Black people despite being Black himself”
Big deal. Men say bad things about other men. Carpenters say bad things about other Carpenters. Muslims say bad things abut other Muslims. Blacks say bad things about other Blacks. Everybody says bad things about others who share some trait. Big deal.
Considering the story is wrong about a new appeal I’ll go ahead and assume the rest of the article is bullsht as well.
Defense says Karmelo Anthony appeal is strengthened despite new trial denial
"Karmelo Anthony’s motion for a new trial in the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf was denied, but his defense team is preparing to take the case to the court of appeals."
“I thought his appeal was already denied a couple of weeks ago.”
it was ... now his lawyers are appealing the appeal ...
And who and where are these "others" please sir.?

"And they smell!"
Oh well, that only shows that he is just crazy so they should let him go and give him a lollipop.
/s
imagine hating black women so much that you capitalize Black but not Bitshes.
You are being sarcastic aren’t you?
I mean, we don’t really have people who are this stupid on FR? Do we?
His sycophantic supporters could ignore everything else, but the text where he said he liked Trump was just too unforgivable.
“Team Captain”
I saw nothing in spintreebob’s post that indicated he was being sarcastic.
“I saw nothing in spintreebob’s post that indicated he was being sarcastic.”
I agree.
I saw nothing sarcastic.
Only the truth.
“I thought his appeal was already denied a couple of weeks ago.”
His petition for a new trial was denied.
“Karmelo Anthony’s legal team officially filed a notice of appeal on September 9, 2026, to challenge his murder conviction and 35-year prison sentence. This formal step moves the case forward into the Fifth Court of Appeals in Dallas after a Collin County judge recently denied his motion for a new trial.”
They're appealing the denial which is why there's new discovery.
