BREAKING: Karmelo Anthony has been found guilty in the murder of Austin Metcalf.

Anthony admitted to stabbing Metcalf but claimed he acted in self-defense.

Witnesses said Austin Metcalf repeatedly asked Karmelo Anthony, a student from a different school, to leave a tent they were under at a high school track meet. Anthony allegedly responded with threats while keeping one hand inside his backpack.

Students testified that Anthony appeared to be provoking a fight, while Metcalf said he did not want one. Moments later, after brief physical contact, Anthony stabbed Metcalf in the chest.

Ten Years, wow. What a journey it’s been. On this day in 2016, I was sworn in as an attorney and started my firm. According to my operating software, I’ve represented 1757 clients since then. I’m thankful for the experienced defense attorneys, prosecutors and judges that have poured into me over the years. I’ve been in business for myself but definitely not by myself.

I couldn’t do what I do on a regular basis without Janessa McAdams, my wife and legal assistant. It’s truly humbling to look back and see what we’ve created together.

Life is good. Now back to doing what I love.
