After weeks of testimony and deliberation, Collin County courts concluded the trial surrounding the fatal stabbing.
Karmelo Anthony was found responsible for the attack and sentenced to the death penalty under Texas law.
For some, it represented justice for a young life lost; for others, it raised concerns about the severity and finality of the punishment.
Anthony’s legal team urged the public to remain calm, emphasizing that the legal process is not over.
They noted that appeals and additional judicial proceedings are expected and cautioned against rushing to final conclusions.
