A Collin County grand jury has indicted Karmelo Anthony for first-degree murder in the stabbing of Austin Metcalf at a Frisco high school track meet.

Don't bother going to the article, as it doesn't have any new details, and it's an npr site...

But most stories on the indictment didn't say it was for first degree murder, and prominently write why anthony claimed it was self defense.

From the amount of social media spin and public pressure to portray anthony as innocent, I'm surprised he was charged

Before I could mention his mother defending him, I came upon an actual oddball interview with her. A classic. Plea for sympathy and crocodile tears. Sheesh.

If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit.

There is no less than a dozen videos of the incident. Under the information act people can go to Frisco PD and view but not record surveillance cameras video. Frisco PD confiscated at least a dozen student phones who have various footage. Before trial it should be kept under wraps to not allow a defense appeal on tainting the jury pool. Simmer down let use Collin County citizens handle this. This is our County it is going to be up a jury of 12 of us to decide. Two of my homes are in Collin County I hope I get the jury call.likely not I served on a domestic violence case last year as a juror.

Texas does not first-degree murder.
Texas has Capital Murder.

Murder 1? Texas has the death penalty, right?

If what she said is true, that her son was raised right then she and her family are in their position as other parents...... parents can do all the right things and their children can still make stupid and foolish decisions with long term consequences on the family and themselves.
