This weekend, a Texas judge has denied 18-year-old Karmelo Anthony a new trial after explosive revelations came out about a “gentleman’s agreement” between the prosecution and the defense. Both sides agreed to keep out incendiary past behavior by both Anthony, and his murder victim, Austin Metacalf that led up to the altercation at a high school track meet that ended with Anthony stabbing Metcalf in the heart. Anthony’s lawyers have vowed to continue their fight, arguing Anthony wasn’t able to take the stand in his own defense because the prosecution reneged on part of their verbal, backroom deal.
