Karmelo Anthony’s Latest Outrageous Demand as He Appeals Conviction for Murdering Austin Metcalf
Karmelo Anthony should get a do-over trial with a different judge calling the shots this time, his new, high-powered defense team argued in a pair of court motions filed Tuesday.
Anthony’s attorneys made the demands in the appeal of his murder conviction for fatally stabbing fellow high school athlete Austin Metcalf.
The lawyers argued the conviction should be tossed altogether, claiming the now 19-year-old killer’s constitutional rights were violated because his first trial wasn’t fully accessible to the public.
They also claimed that prosecutors prevented him from testifying in his own defense, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
If Anthony is granted a new trial, it should be overseen by a different judge, his lawyers insisted.
They also want Judge John Roach, who presided over the dramatic murder trial that ended last month, removed from all remaining post-trial proceedings. (Read more from “Karmelo Anthony’s Latest Outrageous Demand as He Appeals Conviction for Murdering Austin Metcalf” HERE)
