If the Karmelo Anthony legal team was hoping for a quiet path to a new trial, those hopes just went up in smoke.
Bombshell texts revealed in court this week show the convicted murderer of Austin Metcalf fantasizing about violence in chilling detail — threatening to put “bullets…coming out of ur chest,” declaring, “When I st*b somebody I’m gonna lick their blood off the blade,” and texting “I’m lowkey on the verge” just two hours before he fatally stabbed the 17-year-old at a Frisco, Texas track meet.
Yikes.
Take a look:

That would be the ultimate irony: the little shitbag demanding a getting a new trial, only to receive the death penalty this time around.

Turns out the little s**t was having nasty, violent thoughts and killing people. Gosh, that sounds a little premeditated, not that we're experts on any of this or anything, but yeah.
Karmelo Anthony cried, “He put his hands on me. I told him not to. He put his hands on me.”

Where were these texts during the trial. He should get life in prison minimum

With the new trial — he just might. Wow.
The next excuse is well did he really lick the blood off the blade?

Oh yeah, they'll blame whitey for making him feel this anger and violence. Somehow, someway, it won't be his fault.

But these texts paint a very different picture from what the defense and his activist supporters have been putting out there.
