Summary
A full-episode deep dive. On Tuesday, a Collin County jury found nineteen-year-old Karmelo Anthony guilty of murder for fatally stabbing seventeen-year-old Austin Metcalf at a 2025 high school track meet in Frisco, Texas — rejecting his claim of self-defense after deliberating less than three hours, then sentencing him to 35 years in prison after rejecting his "sudden passion" claim. Garret Fisher walks through the verdict, the rainy afternoon under the team tent that ended Austin Metcalf's life, the medical testimony that made jurors gasp, and the sentencing that now sends Anthony to prison with parole possible after roughly seventeen years. He also takes on the racial firestorm that consumed this case online — and why the people inside the courtroom kept saying it had nothing to do with race. Join our new FB groups page here.
