Recently disclosed evidence from the Collin County, Texas murder trial involving Karmelo Anthony offers new insights into the case of Austin Metcalf’s fatal stabbing during a track meet near Dallas last April.

The evidence shared by the court features photographs of the knife used in the incident, images of Anthony’s backpack, and surveillance footage from the Memorial High School team tent shortly before the confrontation. Additionally, video footage illustrates Anthony’s actions before and after the event. These materials are now available to the public for the first time, as courtroom cameras were banned during the trial.

The evidence release follows the conviction of Anthony for murder, resulting in a 35-year prison sentence. The jury dismissed his self-defense claim during the altercation.

Key Points

The release of evidence aligns with Anthony’s legal team pursuing an appeal.

A major point during the trial involved the size differences between Anthony and Metcalf. Jurors, however, ruled that the disparity did not warrant deadly force.

J.D. Miles, a CBS News Texas reporter, shared videos and photos of the newly available evidence on Friday night. A post includes police body camera footage in which Anthony states, “I’m not alleged, I did it.” Although the audio is clear, Anthony cannot be seen in the video.
