JUST IN: Judge Reduces Teen Track Star Killer Karmelo Anthony’s Bond to $250,000, Places Him on House Arrest

A judge on Monday reduced teen track star killer Karmelo Anthony’s bond from $1 million to $250,000 and placed him on house arrest.

As TGP previously reported, 16-year-old track and football star Austin Metcalf was brutally stabbed to death earlier this month during a championship track meet at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas.

Metcalf, a junior at Frisco Memorial High School, was attacked in broad daylight — at a school-sanctioned event meant to showcase hard work, discipline, and sportsmanship.

The suspect, 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony of rival school Frisco Centennial, was charged with first-degree murder.

The Karmelo Anthony family attorney asked the judge to put the teen killer on an ankle monitor and reduce his bond so he can “be with his family.”

The defense attorney argued that Karmelo Anthony has no prior arrests and should be released from prison.

Prosecutors argued that Karmelo Anthony was involved in an altercation at school in February, but it did not involve law enforcement, according to Fox 4 News.

In asking for the bond reduction, the defense attorneys said Anthony’s family is having trouble accessing the more than $400,000 raised for the teen killer. The judge sided with the defense and reduced Karmelo Anthony’s bond to $250,000.

Judge Angela Tucker of the 199th Judicial District Court also said Karmelo Anthony would be put on house arrest.

Fox 4 News reported:

Bond Reduced: The judge reduced the teen’s bond to $250,000, and he will be placed on house arrest. He will have to speak to the bailiff every Friday morning and he is not allowed to be on social media.

The Judge: Judge Angela Tucker of the 199th Judicial District Court says she learned of this case assignment last Monday, and the cases are assigned at random. She will only preside over the bond reduction hearing. There will be another random selection for the judge assigned to the trial.

Judge Tucker said they’ve never had the security issues they’ve faced with this case.

She also said during the hearing that this is a bond hearing and not a trial, and at the bond hearing you don’t get everything.

The purpose of a bond is to ensure the defendant will return to court and to ensure the safety of the community, she said.

“I don’t take that lightly at all. I take those things very seriously.”

House arrest is considered for this cold blooded murder? Good grief!

Imagine how a knife would feel being stabbed right through your heart!

How abt we just STICK a KNIFE IN HIS HEART.

I mean since it is obvious HE will never do time for ending a life maybe someone should do what HE feels is appropriate for an argument over where to sit. I guess we should all bring a knife to a ball game just in case someone wants a seat I may be in.

Perhaps the murderer is retarded. He would have to be, to show up for trial.

He needs the vigilance committee to string him up and let the crows eat him.

* Avoid

* Deny

* Defend

Those, the defense

Guessing, involuntary manslaughter

First offense, probation.

Zero remedies.

Dude is reputed to be 4.0 student and standout athlete from a privileged upbringing. .

So the usual he's an underprivileged, persecuted victim of society who can't catch a break narrative is not going to work in this case.

Expect them to shift the narrative to “ how can we ruin or waste the life of such a talented and promising young man over one little mistake “ in the near future.

there is a young black PE teacher from Meridian Ms. on American Idol this year. He is charismatic, a heck of a singer, and trying to uplift blacks to show they dont need a gun or sell drugs.

His version of Liar is better than the original. The writer of the song was in the audience and gave him big props for his version

American Idol is doing something this year i can’t comprehend. A lot of religious based songs and next weekend having some kind of Faith Show.

This religious singer will likely go on to do big things. Has a heck of a voice
