德克萨斯州法官Michael Chitty周六驳回了19岁被告Karmelo Anthony的重审申请1。Anthony于2025年4月在达拉斯郊区Frisco的高中田径运动会上刺死17岁运动员Austin Metcalf，6月被判谋杀罪并判处35年监禁1。Chitty法官在两天听证会后以半页命令驳回了重审动议，未提供详细说明1。
Anthony的律师Russell Wilson辩称，重审申请基于两项理由：检控和辩护团队之间存在关于隐瞒不利证人品格证据的口头协议，以及审判法官John Roach对法庭规则的严格限制妨碍了公众进入1。在听证期间，检察官Bill Wirskye为审判的公平性进行了辩护1。Wilson表示将就驳回决定提出上诉1。
A Texas judge has rejected a request for a new trial filed by Karmelo Anthony, the 19-year-old convicted of fatally stabbing 17-year-old athlete Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet in Frisco, a suburb of Dallas, in April 2025. 1 Judge Michael Chitty dismissed the motion following a two-day hearing, issuing a ruling of just half a page without detailed explanation. 1 Anthony was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison in June 2025. 1
Anthony's legal team, led by attorney Russell Wilson, had argued for a new trial on two grounds: allegations that the prosecution and defense had reached an undisclosed verbal agreement to conceal evidence regarding a witness's character, and claims that presiding Judge John Roach had imposed overly restrictive courtroom rules that limited public access to the proceedings. 1 Prosecutor Bill Wirskye defended the fairness of the original trial during the hearing. 1 Despite these arguments, Judge Chitty's terse order provided no substantial reasoning for the denial. Wilson indicated that the defense intends to file an appeal. 1
