Emotions ran high as Karmelo Anthony, the Frisco teen accused of killing a classmate, was released on lowered bond Monday. The decision came after his father testified about their financial struggles and his son’s clean record.
But for Austin Metcalf’s family, the ruling was another blow. His parents described him as a loving brother and talented athlete. His twin, Hunter, relived the horror of watching him die.
The fatal encounter happened during a track meet delay. Witnesses say Austin grabbed Anthony, who then stabbed him. Anthony insists it was self-defense.
Now, with Anthony under house arrest, the community is split. Some argue the justice system worked; others ask why a teen was armed at school.
As the case moves forward, one question lingers: Can either family ever truly heal?
