A North Texas judge has denied Karmelo Anthony's appeal for a new trial. The ruling follows Anthony's conviction for murder in connection with a stabbing incident that occurred at a track meet.
Anthony had sought a new trial after his previous legal team detailed a dispute that reportedly prevented him from testifying during his initial trial. The conviction stems from the killing of Austin Metcalf.
News organizations reported on the judge's decision regarding the defense motion for a retrial. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
