Karmelo Anthony found guilty of murder over Texas track meet ... MCKINNEY, Texas --A Texas teenager who fatally stabbed a 17-year-old track athlete from a rival team during a high school meet was convicted of murder Tuesday and sentenced to 35 years in prison in a trial that drew attention far beyond the booming Dallas suburb where they were students. A jury rejected Karmelo Anthony's claims of self-defense during a confrontation with Austin Metcalf in stadium bleachers last year. Most people who testified were students who described a heated exchange over Anthony's refusal on a rainy spring day to leave a tent that belonged to Metcalf's team. Anthony, now 19, did not testify at trial, and only his mother took the stand during the sentencing phase, telling jurors her son was sorry and asking for their mercy. Notoriety about the case spread, in part, because of a flood of social media posts that amplified the killing in racial terms. Anthony is Black; Metcalf was white. Lawyers on both sides, however, told jurors that the tragedy had nothing to do with race. Jurors, who deliberated for less than three hours, had the option of a lesser charge, manslaughter, but didn't choose it.…
