Summary
The fate of Texas teen Karmelo Anthony will soon be in the hands of a jury, as he stands accused of murdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet last year. Anthony’s defense team rested earlier today after calling just 5 witnesses. There was an unexplained two hour delay leading up to the announcement, many legal experts believe Anthony may have been weighing whether or not to testify in his own defense.
