Karmelo Anthony demands new judge, new trial in appeal of 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.
