Murder, Manslaughter Or Not Guilty: Karmelo Anthony’s Fate Now In The Hands Of Jurors

Closing arguments wrapped this morning in the trial of Texas teen, Karmelo Anthony. The judge instructed the jury they can now consider manslaughter in addition to first degree murder when determining the fate of Anthony.

Prosecutors told jurors they can’t reach manslaughter until they unanimously acquit Anthony first of murder. The defense reminded jurors that the victim, fellow teen Austin Metcalf, had no right to put his hands on Anthony and when it comes to self defense, you cannot wait until it’s too late.
