After a significant bond reduction Monday morning, the 17-year-old accused of stabbing Frisco, Texas track star Austin Metcalf to death has been released from jail.

Karmelo Anthony, 17, faces first-degree murder charges in Metcalf's death. His bond was dropped from $1 million to $250,000 Monday morning, FOX Dallas Ft. Worth reported.

Anthony's bond conditions include house arrest and an ankle monitor, and he will only be able to leave his home with the judge's permission.

"Suspect"... "Allegedly"... hmmm. How about this?

Murderer freed on bond by liberal judge.

Simple. To the point. Accurate.

Meanwhile, young Austin Metcalf, whom this punk murdered, is still dead. He doesn’t get released from the grave to go home to be with his family.

Person of color murders, person of color judge.

You have your answer.

Good luck finding who it is, all the LSM papers are only saying a “judge” and are avoiding telling anyone who she is. Pretty obvious why.

From Freeper GenXPolymath on this thread.

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4310982/posts

“Do murders get out on house arrest?”

Yes my best friend is a felony level defense attorney who does mostly murder, capital murder, rico and cartel crimes. I can tell you for murder this is not capital murder since he didn’t meet the criteria of 19.03 this is at most murder Texas doesn’t do degrees of murder. We have negligent homicide, involuntary manslaughter, voluntary manslaughter, murder and capital murder. $1 million is a capital murder level bond, $500 is a murder bond with prior felony level convictions. $250,000 is appropriate for a murder or voluntary manslaughter on a first offence.

Bond is to ensure the accused shows up for.trial it is not per the Supreme Court to be used to punish people. You can get a no bond holding order for a real and present danger to society. That’s hard to get on a first offender. This will 100% be argued as a passion crime trying to get the 19.03 down to voluntary manslaughter. However if the knife is over 5.5 inches in length it is then a location restricted knife and 46.02 kicks in where it’s a 3rd degree felony to possess let alone use a knife on school ground OR where school events are taking place. 46.02 triggers 19.31 which makes this murder while in commission of a felony my ups it to felony murder which is between murder and capital murder. You also lose 9.31 self-defense plea entirely and when 46 kicks in.

So summery from a practicing Texas bar licenced felony defence attorney who is sitting next to me at the sports bar as I type this is.

$250,000 is appropriate for a murder in the first offence, house arrest is a kicker and the GPS monitor as well.

The big unknown is the nature of the murder weapon if it’s a locations restricted knife he is getting felony murder and a UCW too.

The witnesses have put on record provocation of the victim by the murderer this also will remove 09.31 and elevate the crime due to intent. You cannot stab someone in the middle of the chest if they just touch you, 09.31 requires proportional response. By stabbing someone in the middle of the chest you intended to cause serous bodily harm and it is not conductive to the continuance of life so intentional death. That ups section 19 from voluntary manslaughter to full murder just on it’s own.

No you cannot claim that you were touched , shoved or even punched and use deadly force 19.32 is clear on when you can and ONLY when you can use deadly force. Getting manhandled is not one of them.

Thank you for the clarification!!!! 250k is a normal bond for murder in Texas. Especially for a first offense.

Another wonderful example of the benefits of diversity.

Justice demands a long prison sentence for this clear case of murder.

There was nothing normal about this, the kid went with the intent for murder someone, totally premeditated and he literally started the aggression seeking such an encounter.

Treating this as normal is itself a moral outrage.

Maybe 250k is normal for lesser murder charges but this is as heinous as it gets, the only way he could have made is by murdering more.

Only the reason for the crime is alleged. Everything else is a provable fact that has even been confessed to.

The Demonrat plan for reducing violent crime is to NOT put people arrested for assault and murder in jail and hope they behave themselves.

The negroid kid criminal cold-heartedly stabbed the innocent caucasian kid in the heart, murdering him. “Suspect” my a**. The death penalty seems appropriate here. Isn’t this the ultimate “hate” crime?

And to think that LIB nitwits have donated $500,000 to this criminal murderer.

In a sane world, a person who INTENTIONALLY brings a knife to a track meet and INTENTIONALLY sits in the opposing team’s tent to incite an incident, then INTENTIONALLY stabs someone to death, would be an open and shut case of murder. In the INSANE world of Demonicrat run big cities, with the right judge and jury, he WILL be found not guilty.

It would save lives if there was someone who knew long range stuff was in the area.
