Congressman Anthony

Karmelo Anthony's defense team argued for a new trial after the stabbing of Austin Metcalf at a Dallas track meet, claiming significant character evidence was excluded due to a broken 'gentleman’s agreement.' The prosecution countered that the defense also benefited from the deal and pointing to damaging exculpatory evidence left out of the trial. Anthony had been sentenced to 35 years in prison for murdering Metcalf in June.
