New York Postshot down, convicted killer

Judge Michael Chitty denied Karmelo Anthony's motion for a new trial on Saturday following an appeal hearing in the murder conviction of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf. Anthony was convicted by a Collin County jury after the April 2025 stabbing at a Frisco ISD track meet and received a 35-year sentence. The ruling came after testimony that extended into Friday evening, with one of Anthony's former trial attorneys appearing as a witness.
