Summary
The trial for 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony, accused of fatally stabbing fellow student Austin Metcalf during a track meet last April, kicks off Monday amid intense public scrutiny, online threats, and strict courtroom rules. Witnesses say Anthony warned “touch me and see what happens” before the attack, and while surveillance footage exists, access is limited. Anthony’s defense argues self-defense, while prosecutors push for accountability. Austin’s twin brother graduated posthumously in his honor. The court has banned live streaming, recording, and public disruptions, and imposed a gag order. Officials urge calm as families face harassment and misinformation swirls online — all while the justice system tries to navigate one of the most polarizing cases in recent school district history.
