Following a trial that lasted just one week from jury selection to verdict, a Texas jury found Karmelo Anthony, now 19, guilty of murder in the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf last year.
The closely watched trial in Collin county drew national attention, with viral social media posts that highlighted the racial composition of the case: Anthony is Black; Austin was white. Attorneys selected 12 jurors and six alternates for the trial; none of the jurors was Black.
