Karmelo Anthony, a 19-year-old convicted of murder in Texas, is asking for a new trial and for the judge to step down. His lawyers say prosecutors broke their agreement and forced him to give up his right to testify, among other legal problems.
Key Facts
Karmelo Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison for the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf, 17, at a track meet in 2025.
Anthony’s defense team filed a motion for a new trial and asked for the judge’s removal.
The lawyers claimed prosecutors made Anthony waive his right to testify by threatening to use unrelated character evidence.
Prosecutors are accused of breaking a deal not to use evidence about the teenagers’ characters or past behavior.
Anthony’s attorneys said his right to a public trial was violated due to restrictions on cameras and live streaming in the courtroom.
The defense argued that the jury was wrongly told to ignore Anthony’s self-defense claim.
The case drew national attention partly because Anthony is Black and Metcalf was white, raising issues of race.
No Black jurors were selected for the trial; prosecutors said this was due to jurors’ work backgrounds, not race.
Protests with racist messages occurred in the community, including actions by a banned far-right group leader.

The Trump administration challenged the practice of birthright citizenship, which grants automatic U.S. citizenship to nearly everyone born on American soil. This policy, established by the 14th Amendment in 1868, is now under review by the Supreme Court due to a Trump executive order aiming to change it.
Key Facts
Birthright citizenship was established by the 14th Amendment in 1868, originally to ensure citizenship for former slaves.
The Supreme Court has upheld that almost all people born in the U.S. are citizens, regardless of their parents' immigration status.
There are very few exceptions, mainly children of foreign diplomats born in the U.S.
President Donald Trump and his administration oppose birthright citizenship, calling it a “magnet for illegal immigration.”
Trump claimed the U.S. is the only country with birthright citizenship, but this is incorrect; many countries also have it.
The Supreme Court heard arguments about the legal meaning of “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” in the 14th Amendment, a key phrase in the citizenship debate.
Some conservative justices questioned the Trump administration’s interpretation during oral arguments.
The challenge comes amid increased border crossings and concerns about “birth tourism,” where non-U.S. citizens have babies in the U.S. solely for citizenship reasons.
