## Resource

The jury in the Karmelo Anthony case rejected claims of self-defense and found him guilty of murdering Austin Metcalf after a fatal confrontation at a Texas high school track meet. The case has sparked national debate over the limits of self-defense laws, with prosecutors arguing that "Stand Your Ground" protections do not apply unless there is a reasonable fear of death or serious bodily harm.
