MCKINNEY, Texas (NewsNation) — A jury has reached a verdict in the murder trial of Karmelo Anthony, who is accused of killing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf following a confrontation at a track meet after about three hours of deliberation.
The jury is expected to announce its verdict at 2:05 pm (Central).
Anthony, now 19, is charged in the 2025 death of Metcalf at a track meet outside of Dallas. The case has drawn national attention and featured emotional testimony from more than 20 prosecution witnesses who were in court last week.
The jury only had to consider the single charge of first-degree murder.

The article says…
The jury only had to consider the single charge of first-degree murder.I don’t think that’s correct.
Manslaughter is an option.

Wrong. The judge also threw Antony a bone by allowing a lesser verdict of manslaughter.

The judge put manslaughter on the table at the last minute so maybe they all just went for that to get consensus. It’ll be interesting to find out.
