Karmelo Anthony, the 17-year-old charged in the fatal stabbing of another student during a high school track meet in Frisco earlier this month, was released from jail on Monday after a judge drastically reduced his bond.
Emotions in the courtroom
The case involving Karmelo Anthony and Austin Metcalf has stirred strong emotions across the United States — and the developments surrounding it continue to unfold dramatically.
Anthony Karmelo faces a murder charge and, if convicted, could be sentenced to five to 99 years in prison under Texas law.
But on Monday, Collin County Judge Angela Tucker reduced the bond for 17-year-old Karmelo from $1 million to $250,000, a decision that has sparked a wave of public reaction and reignited emotions.
