Karmelo Anthony won’t face the d3ath p3nalty in the fatal st@bbing of 18-year-old Austin Metcalf, and the alleged victim’s father is struggling to find peace with that decision.

Anthony, 17, stands accused of fatally st@bbing Metcalf during a high school track meet on April 2. Prosecutors formally indicted him Tuesday for first-degree murd3r. While the charge is severe, law enforcement sources told TMZ Sports that capital punishment is off the table, not only because the state isn’t pursuing it, but also because Anthony is legally too young for that sentence under current law.

Victim’s Father Speaks Out On Legal Limits

Jeff Metcalf, Austin’s father, didn’t mince words when asked how he felt about the legal limit sparing Anthony from the d3ath p3nalty.

“I would have 100 percent supported it if he was 18,” Jeff told TMZ Sports. He paused when asked if he’d feel the same regardless of Anthony’s age. “Doesn’t matter what I think. Nothing will bring my son back.”

Under Texas law, individuals under 18 at the time of a crime cannot receive the d3ath p3nalty. That detail draws a hard legal line that Jeff believes cuts painfully close. “It’s the law unfortunately,” he said. “If it would have happened six weeks later, he would have been 18. Then it’s a different ball game. We have to play the cards we are dealt.”

Despite the emotional weight of the case, Jeff said he finds some relief in the progress. “I’m pleased the case is moving forward,” he added.

If convicted, Anthony now faces life in prison. His defense attorney, Mike Howard, addressed the indictment in a video statement Tuesday. Howard claimed the teen acted in self-defense and expressed confidence that the jury would ultimately “reach the right conclusion and justice will be done.”

The case, which rocked the Texas high school sports community, continues to draw close attention as it moves through the court system. Both families, one seeking justice, the other fighting for freedom, now await what comes next.

Why does Angel Reese wear one legging attire?

Angel Reese wears only one legging as a part of her one-court attire and the fans have grown curious about it. Many people speculated that it was part of a superstition that Reese followed, however, that is not the case. The LSU star has herself revealed the reason for the unique dressing choice and it may surprise a lot of people.

“I had surgery two years back on my shin. I have a rod in my leg… I cover the scar on one, and then the two players that I admire, Te’a Cooper and A’ja Wilson, also wear it, too. So it is swag. But I have used it to cover my scar,” said Angel Reese. She revealed that she had surgery on her leg and had a scar on it. She wears the leggings to hide that scar and at the same time as a swag fashion accessory.
