Karmelo Anthony Trial: Jury Given Chance To Show Mercy, They Chose Otherwise
Podcast: Rogue EnergyPublished On: Wed Jun 10 2026
Description: A Texas jury deliberated for 2 and a half hours, quickly returning a guilty verdict for 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony who was visibly shaking in court. Anthony, who is black, was convicted of first degree murder of fellow teen Austin Matcalf, who is white. A jury with no black members then rejected a “sudden passion” option that would’ve reduced Anthony’s sentence, instead, the jury came back with a 35 year sentence for the tearful teen.
