Jury Will See It Was Self-Defense, Says Karmelo Anthony’s Lawyer in Metcalf Case

Karmelo Anthony's attorney contends that jurors will recognize his client's actions as self-defense in the case concerning the alleged killing of Austin Metcalf. He asserts that the complete facts will emerge during the trial, and that the courtroom proceedings will be compelling in the weeks ahead. Indicted on a first-degree murder charge following a fatal stabbing earlier this year, Anthony has admitted to the act and will face legal proceedings soon. The 18-year-old Anthony maintains that he was defending himself when the stabbing occurred. His lawyer, Mike Howard, expressed confidence that this context will become evident as the trial unfolds. “The jury will hear the complete narrative, which includes vital information the grand jury was not privy to,” Howard noted, according to ABC 11. Eyewitness accounts suggest the conflict arose from a dispute regarding seating at a school track meet, leading to the fatal encounter. We await the courtroom developments with keen interest.
