Karmelo Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the April 2025 stabbing death of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Frisco ISD track meet in Collin County, Texas.<\/p>\n

Anthony to officers that he stabbed Metcalf, but has claimed it was in self-defense, according to an arrest report. District Court Judge John Roach reportedly issued a pretrial order outlining strict rules for the trial, including a ban on cameras and any audio or video recording of the proceedings.<\/p>\n

You have to wonder why Roach won\u2019t allow cameras into the courtroom. Americans were forced to sit through the sham trial for Derek Chauvin and watched every moment of Kyle Rittenhouse reliving the worst moment of his life. And yet, a clear case where the defendant admitted to stabbing someone will have zero transparency.<\/p>\n

Does it have anything to do with the fact that the Anthony case gained national attention, especially along racial lines? But so did Chauvin\u2019s and Rittenhouse\u2019s. The only difference here is that Anthony, the defendant, is black and Metcalf, the victim, is white. (Sign up for Mary Rooke\u2019s weekly newsletter here!<\/em>)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Independent journalist Sarah Fields was at the first court hearing for the Anthony murder trial, which started Monday. Fields reported that at least one person, a woman who appeared to be connected to Anthony, was escorted out of the courthouse for alleged jury tampering. Fields claimed a bloc of people entered the courtroom wearing purple, supposedly Anthony\u2019s favorite color. She also described seeing Anthony supporters outside the courthouse, including multiple members of the Black Panther movement.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Anthony\u2019s defense lawyer claimed to Fox News that they won\u2019t be arguing this case based on racial lines.<\/p>\n

Anthony has asserted that he acted in self-defense. As if it\u2019s legally acceptable to stab someone in the heart because they are allegedly pushing someone who is refusing to leave an unauthorized area. Every bouncer at a club or concert will think twice about their crowd control tactics if this is true.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Still, whether the defense will admit it or not, this case is about race. Anthony\u2019s supporters, mostly all black or far-left, raised more than half a million dollars for his defense over a month after Metcalf\u2019s alleged murder. The family appointed spokesperson, Dominique Alexander of the Next Generation Action Network (NGAN), asked last June for supporters to stand with the family in the \u201cfight against white supremacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

There has to be some degree of understanding that this case is going to eventually fall into race or racism allegations. And while the defense is arguing the case, the cameras would catch the moments Metcalf\u2019s parents and brother break down over how their loved one is characterized. And we can\u2019t have Americans sympathizing with a grieving white family. That would be catastrophic for the official narrative.<\/p>\n

The world is supposed to believe the suspect innocently brought a knife in a backpack to a track meet (despite this being against school policy). He then innocently entered another school\u2019s tent (despite it clearly not bearing his school\u2019s logo). And when Anthony was asked firmly to leave the tent, he had no other choice but to allegedly stab a fellow teenager. He simply didn\u2019t have any other option when confronted with the weight of years of white supremacy holding down the black community.<\/p>\n

Americans are allowed to witness supposed white aggressors being held accountable in a court of law, but when the races flip, we aren\u2019t given the same transparency. Instead, we are told that, in order to protect the jury and the defendant\u2019s rights to a fair trial, there will be no nationally televised moments. The narrative likely shatters the moment evidence is explained, and witnesses are interviewed.

The left has divided this country along racial lines. That is the reality of America now. Anthony can plainly and clearly tell the police that he stabbed Metcalf, but that doesn\u2019t stop hundreds of thousands from being raised in his defense or left-wing commentators claiming white against black racism was involved, justifying the killing.<\/p>\n

There is a fatigue to this two-sided form of justice. There\u2019s a fatigue to seeing the blatant biases that form based on skin color, where people determine justified violence based on the race and not the circumstances. So, forgive me if I don\u2019t buy the judge\u2019s claim that his order to ban cameras was a way to bring about justice. Americans deserve to see for themselves how the case is being decided and which orders are allowed and which are denied. We should be able to hear the defense and not the characterized version printed in far-left elite media that sympathize with the aggressor over the victim.<\/p>\n
