The parents of convicted murderer Karmelo Anthony are continuing to defend their son following his sentencing, insisting he acted in self-defense and arguing that the outcome of his trial was predetermined long before jurors began deliberating.<\/p>\n

Anthony, 19, was sentenced to 35 years in prison this week after a Texas jury found him guilty of first-degree murder in the fatal stabbing of high school athlete Austin Metcalf. One day after the sentence was handed down, Anthony formally filed notice of appeal.<\/p>\n

In an interview with CBS Texas, Anthony\u2019s mother, Kayla Hayes, rejected the jury\u2019s conclusion that her son intended to kill Metcalf.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy son is no murderer. My son didn\u2019t intend to hurt anyone,\u201d Hayes said. \u201cMy son was defending himself, and that\u2019s what hurts so bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hayes said she pleaded with jurors for mercy during the sentencing phase of the trial.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo have mercy on my son. That\u2019s what I told the jury,\u201d she said. \u201cI know they had their minds made up already, so really wasn\u2019t much I could change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both parents challenged the testimony presented during the trial.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone actually lied on the stand. Everyone,\u201d Hayes said. \u201cAll of the witnesses\u2019 statements were inconsistent, all of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anthony\u2019s father, Andrew Anthony, similarly argued that public opinion surrounding the case had already determined the outcome before the trial began.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was convicted when he walked out of the jail,\u201d Anthony said. \u201cYou looked at the news and actually, he was already convicted. If you look at it, he was already \u2014 it was already done. There was no innocence of proving guilty. He was already guilty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jurors ultimately rejected Anthony\u2019s self-defense claim after hearing testimony from multiple witnesses, including some called by the defense. Prosecutors argued that Anthony provoked the confrontation and that his use of deadly force was not justified.<\/p>\n

Anthony was convicted in the April 2025 fatal stabbing of Metcalf during a track meet in Frisco, Texas.<\/p>\n

The elder Anthony also claimed the family continues to receive threats in the aftermath of the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople want us dead,\u201d he said. \u201cYou see, I go look at my phone. People want us dead, they want our family dead.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the conviction and sentence, Anthony\u2019s parents said they do not believe justice was served.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t get justice,\u201d Andrew Anthony said. \u201cA lot of things that we missed that should have been handled a certain way. However, we couldn\u2019t say anything. We did what was instructed. We was told \u2014 we was told, so we just did what we was told.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anthony\u2019s appeal is now moving forward, beginning what could be a years-long effort to challenge both his conviction and sentence.<\/p>\n
