Karmelo Anthony Hires New Legal Team Ahead of Expected Appeal of Murder Conviction
The pro bono team will conduct a fresh review of the trial record and pursue all available appeal options after Anthony received a 35-year sentence.
- A high-profile legal team announced Monday they are representing Karmelo Anthony pro bono in appealing his murder conviction and 35-year prison sentence in the death of Austin Metcalf.
- Anthony, 19, was convicted June 9 in the fatal stabbing of Metcalf at a Frisco track meet, though he maintained throughout that he acted in self-defense.
- Last Friday, Collin County court released trial evidence including body camera footage and surveillance video; the new coalition led by attorney Russell Wilson plans an independent review of the trial record.
- Legal experts anticipate the appeal process will take significant time, likely not reaching the 5th District Court of Appeals until later this year according to the legal team.
- Asserting the appellate process exists to ensure fairness, the Stand With Karmelo Coalition stated their responsibility is "to determine whether a legal error occurred" and fully present every issue on appeal.
