Washington Examiner columnist Joe Concha issued a stark take on the Karmelo Anthony murder trial, saying, “I just don’t see the out here in any way, shape, or form.”

Karmelo Anthony, 19, has been charged with first-degree murder for the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a track meet in Frisco, Texas, on April 2, 2025. Anthony has argued that he acted in self-defense, but if found guilty, he could face up to 99 years in prison.
