Teen charged with killing HS football star Austin Metcalf won''t face death penalty

[NYPOST] The teenager charged with murdering high school football star Austin Metcalf at a Texas track meet will not face the death penalty

if he's convicted at trial, according to the local District Attorney.

Karmelo Anthony, 17, who allegedly stabbed Metcalf in the heart at the Frisco athletic event last week, is protected from death row — and even life without parole — by the Supreme Court due to his age, Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis told WFAA.

''The Supreme Court has said not only can you not seek the death penalty against someone who committed a crime when they're 17, you can't even get them life without parole. That would not be something we could do even if we wanted to,'' Willis said.

#3 The website fundraiser for the suspect, not the victim has raised over $350,000 to support his defense.

"As of the morning of April 11, a fundraiser on GiveSendGo for Anthony had raised $351,055 of its $450,000 goal,” WFAA reports.

“The narrative being spread is false, unjust, and harmful,” the family’s post on the fundraiser reads. “As a family of faith, we are deeply grateful for all of your support during this trying period. Your prayers and assistance mean more to us now more than ever.”
