The attorney for Karmelo Anthony has suggested that the killing of Texas college football star Austin Metcalf could have been self defence and he wants Anthony’s bond lowered from $1 million.
Metcalf was a 17-year-old college football player from Texas who was stabbed to death, allegedly by fellow 17-year-old Anthony.
Metcalf was stabbed in the heart and died in his twin brother’s arms when he attended a track and field championship at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas on April 2.
The two youngsters were both dual-sport athletes and had never met before the April 2 incident. They got into a heated exchange over a seat at the event that as attended by several Frisco ISD schools.
Metcalf apparently confronted Anthony for sitting under Frisco Memorial High School’s tent in the stands and told him that he should move.
“And my brother stepped in and said, ‘You need to move,'” Metcalf’s twin brother Hunter told WFAA. “And he’s like, ‘Make me move.'”
The whole altercation lasted less than 30 seconds, as Anthony then grabbed a knife from his backpack and stabbed Metcalf.
Potential self defense
Anthony‘s attorney is Deric Walpole and he told NBC Dallas-Fort Worth that he thinks his client acted in self defense.
“I know that my client said it was self defense. I don’t have any reason to disbelieve that, but I need to develop facts, talk to people, and figure out what’s going on before I make any statements about what I think happened,” Walpole told the outlet outside of the prison. “I don’t have any reason to think it wasn’t self defense at this time.”
“I’m not alleged, I did it,” Anthony confessed to police as he was being taken into custody, according to the arrest report. “I was protecting myself,” Anthony allegedly told cops. “He put his hands on me.”

KOMENTÁŘ: Odebrání akreditace? Cesta síly, nikoli práva
Úterní společné prohlášení tří klubů má znemožnit pracovní podmínky žurnalistů, kteří se znelíbili, ale lze z něj mezi řádky vyčíst i daleko vyšší hru o vliv v českém fotbale, do níž všechny strany vtahují média. Původní spor šéfa Slavie Jaroslava Tvrdíka s vydavatelstvím, které vlastní jeho nesmiřitelný fotbalový rival, získává zapojením dalších dvou renomovaných tuzemských fotbalových značek nebezpečný přesah.Považuji za nutné připomenout, co se na našem webu objevilo v glose už minulý týden.
