## Resource

A Texas jury has convicted Karmelo Anthony of murdering Austin Metcalf, rejecting the defense's claim of self-defense and sentencing Anthony to 35 years in prison. Yet instead of focusing on the facts of the case, many on the Left have transformed this tragedy into a racial and political controversy. Todd examines what happened at the Frisco, Texas track meet, the evidence presented at trial, the jury's decision, and the dangerous consequences of reducing every tragedy to race. He also discusses the swatting attacks against the Metcalf family and why justice must remain grounded in facts rather than ideology.
