The Track Meet: Karmelo Anthony and Austin Metcalf
Om avsnittet
On the morning of 2 April 2025, a rainy day in Frisco, Texas, a routine high school track meet ended with a 17 year old boy bleeding out in his identical twin brother's arms. Austin Metcalf, an honour student and football star, had been stabbed once through the heart with a pocket knife. The young man who killed him, 17 year old Karmelo Anthony, ran across the bleachers and was arrested moments later. His first words to police were, "He put his hands on me. I told him not to." What followed was one of the most controversial criminal trials in recent American history. A bond reduction that sparked national protests. A crowdfunding campaign that raised over 633,000 dollars. Doxxing, swatting, and death threats aimed at both families. And ultimately, in June 2026, a verdict that gave Austin's grieving family the answer they had waited 14 months to hear.
