Anthony’s supporters pointed to what they saw as a double standard, comparing his case to that of Kyle Rittenhouse, the white teen acquitted of killing two people in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Texas Teenager Karmelo Anthony has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the stabbing death of a 17-year-old at a high school track meet in April.

Police say Anthony, then 17, killed Austin Metcalf, also 17, on April 2 at the District 11-5A track meet at David Kuykendall Stadium. Anthony has said he acted in self-defense.
