Texas judge denies Karmelo Anthony's request for a new trial

Karmelo Anthony Austin Metcalf murder conviction retrial denied Texas court

A Texas judge has denied a request for a new trial for Karmelo Anthony, 19, who was convicted of murdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalf. Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison for the April 2025 stabbing that occurred during a high school track meet in Frisco.

Retired District Judge Michael Chitty issued the denial following a two-day hearing, stating he had reviewed the evidence, arguments, and applicable case law. The judge did not provide a detailed explanation for the decision.

The defense's motion for a retrial centered on an informal agreement between prosecutors and the original defense team to withhold certain character evidence to avoid inflaming racial tensions. Attorneys for Anthony argued that this agreement, along with restrictive courtroom rules and improper jury instructions, prevented a fair trial and influenced Anthony's decision not to testify.

Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis stated that the office expected the ruling and remains confident in the jury's original verdict. Anthony's legal team, led by attorney Russell Wilson, has indicated they intend to appeal the decision to the Fifth Court of Appeals in Dallas.
