Texas track meet stabbing suspect’s lawyer plans to ask for $1M bond to be lowered: reportThe lawyer for Karmelo Anthony, a Texas high school student accused of stabbing fellow 17-year-old student-athlete Austin Metcalf to death during a confrontation at a track meet Wednesday, plans to ask for his $1 million bond to be lowered, according to a report.
“I know that my client said it was self-defense.
I don’t have any reason to disbelieve that, but I need to develop facts, talk to people and figure out what’s going on before I make any statements about what I think happened,” attorney Deric Walpole, who was hired by Anthony’s family Friday, told KXAS-TV. “I don’t have any reason to think it wasn’t self-defense at this time.”
He told the news station he had requested a hearing next week to have Anthony’s bond lowered. Anthony remains in custody at the Collins County Jail.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Walpole. Anthony, a student-athlete from Frisco Centennial High School in Texas, was charged with murder after he allegedly stabbed Metcalf, 17, a junior at Memorial High School in Frisco, to death Wednesday morning over a seating dispute.
A school resource officer was the first to arrive and confront Anthony, according to an arrest report obtained by FOX 4.
“I gave the suspect instructions to keep his hands up in the air.
During this time, the suspect said verbally out loud, ‘I was protecting myself,’” the report from the responding resource officer states.
The suspect also allegedly told the officer that Metcalf “put his hands on” him.Metcalf’s twin brother, Hunter, who spoke on “The Will Cain Show” Wednesday alongside his grieving mother, Meghan, recalled the moment he saw his brother with a wound to his chest after the altercation with Anthony.
“I whipped my head around, and then, all of a sudden, I see him running down the bleachers just grabbing his chest. … I put my hand on there, tried to make [the bleeding] stop, and I grabbed his head and I looked in his eyes. I just saw his soul leave, and it took my soul, too,” Hunter said.
The stabbing apparently happened after Metcalf asked Anthony to move from under a tent for Memorial High School, and Anthony responded, “Touch me and see what happens,” according to a witness.
