Texas Teen Who Allegedly Stabbed Classmate Over Seat Dispute Will Be Tried as Adult, Faces Life In Prison

The 17-year-old charged with fatally stabbing Austin Metcalf at a Texas high school track meet will face trial as an adult.

Karmelo Anthony allegedly attacked Metcalf after being told he was sitting in the wrong seat. However, Anthony has maintained he was only defending himself. According to an arrest warrant, Anthony admitted, “I did it.” Prosecutors are pursuing a first-degree murder charge, and while the grand jury has yet to indict, Texas law permits adult charges for 16- and 17-year-olds in serious cases.

If convicted, Anthony could receive life with parole eligibility after 40 years, but not the death penalty.

“The Supreme Court has said… you can’t even get them life without parole,” said Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis.

The case sparked renewed outrage when Anthony was allowed to graduate. Jeff Metcalf, Austin’s father, said he was “stonewalled” by school officials after trying to understand the decision.

“They said I have to make an appointment, which I did,” he told CBS News.

Reports say an agreement between the district and Anthony’s parents allowed the graduation.

“I’m just curious on how they arrived at it,” said Metcalf, who questioned whether Anthony met requirements under alternative education.

An honorary diploma for Austin is being discussed, but Metcalf expressed mixed emotions.

“It’s a nice gesture…but my son doesn’t get a diploma. So…maybe Mr. Anthony shouldn’t get one either.”

Anthony remains on house arrest, with bond reduced from $1 million to $250,000.
