Judge removed from Texas track meet stabbing case as defendant Karmelo Anthony seeks a new trial
- Karmelo Anthony, 19, was convicted of fatally stabbing a 17-year-old at a Texas high school track meet and is seeking a new trial citing unfair judicial conduct during his case.
- Anthony was sentenced to 35 years after a Collin County jury rejected his self-defense claims in the stabbing incident last year.
- His lawyers argue that a retrial is needed because Judge John Roach enforced strict rules and gave incomplete jury instructions during the trial.
- A new judge will oversee the hearing on whether to grant Anthony's retrial request scheduled for Thursday.
