Juez de Texas defiende sentencia de 35 años a Karmelo Anthony en medio de debate racial

Un jurado del condado de Collin condenó a Karmelo Anthony a 35 años de prisión por el asesinato de su compañero Austin Metcalf en una carrera de pista escolar en Frisco, lo que desató un debate racial. The Guardian informó que el proceso comenzó con un panel de jurado sin miembros negros, generando preocupación sobre la representación racial. En el segundo día del juicio, CBS News describió fotografías de autopsia gráficas y testimonios emocionales presentados a los jurados. The New York Post señaló las reacciones visibles de los jurados ante las imágenes, mientras el acusado evitaba mirarlas. Dallas News indicó que la defensa presentó testigos para respaldar una alegación de defensa propia, y los fiscales concluyeron sus presentaciones. TMZ citó a un detective de la policía de Frisco que declaró que el cuchillo usado en la puñalada era legal de poseer en Texas.

Dallas News informó que un jurado de 12 personas en McKinney inició deliberaciones sobre los cargos de asesinato y homicidio involuntario. ABC News y CBS News anunciaron que el jurado encontró a Anthony culpable de asesinato en primer grado y pasó a la fase de sentencia. Posteriormente, CBS News y la BBC reportaron que el jurado del condado de Collin impuso una pena de 35 años de prisión. CBS News añadió que Anthony presentó una notificación de apelación, enviando el caso al Tribunal de Apelaciones del Quinto Distrito. Forbes destacó que la condena del adolescente negro provocó críticas públicas y acusaciones de sesgo racial, y que el juez John Roach Jr. afirmó no lamentar la sentencia.
