Framing Analysis
Karmelo Anthony, 19, was convicted of first-degree murder for the April 2025 stabbing death of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Frisco, Texas, track meet and received a 35-year prison sentence. Anthony filed a one-page notice of appeal in Collin County requesting court-appointed counsel due to indigence and was transferred to the Wallace Pack Unit. The jury deliberated three hours before rejecting a manslaughter option.
