Description

Caysen Allison stabbed a classmate more than once and got 10 years. Karmelo Anthony stabbed Austin Metcalf once and got 35. Both said it was self-defense. Part 2 opens at Anthony's sentencing in Frisco, Texas — including the victim impact statement from Austin's mother that reframes the whole debate — then sets the case beside a strikingly similar one out of Belton: same self-defense claim, very different ending. Tyrella and Nikita break down the 35-year sentence, the data on sentencing disparities, the jury and the Batson challenge, the online firestorm, and the appeal — built on the record, not the noise. Start with Part 1 for the trial and the verdict. Content warning: fatal violence involving minors, and a racist remark (quoted and condemned) in the context of public reaction to the case.
