得克萨斯州少年卡梅洛·安东尼的父亲表示,在陪审团驳回儿子的自卫主张、认定其谋杀同学运动员奥斯汀·梅特卡夫的刺伤致死罪名成立后,“没有赢家”。
安东尼被指控于2025年4月2日在弗里斯科的一场田径赛事中刺死梅特卡夫。检方称这起袭击是蓄意为之,但安东尼表示,事件发生在梅特卡夫及其队友对他进行嘲讽和推搡之后。
陪审团仅商议了不到三个小时便于周二裁定安东尼有罪,随后判处其35年监禁。他目前被关押在休斯顿西北部的得克萨斯州刑事司法部监管设施内。
在接受《哥伦比亚广播公司早间新闻》采访时,安东尼的母亲卡拉·海斯表示,她的儿子“无意伤害任何人”,“当时是在自卫”。
当被问及他想对梅特卡夫的家人说什么时,安东尼的父亲安德鲁·安东尼表示:“这太不幸了,结果就是没有赢家。”
“我们都因此受到了伤害,”他说,“每一个人。”

与此同时,梅特卡夫的父亲杰夫·梅特卡夫称判决结果是苦乐参半的。他表示,为了自己能够好好生活,他已经原谅了安东尼,不会“带着愤怒、仇恨和那些情绪过日子”。
“那个可怜的孩子即将经历一种我不愿任何人承受的人生,但他罪有应得,因为我们都要为自己的行为负责,”梅特卡夫说,“对我来说,归根结底就是:奥斯汀再也不会走进那扇门,再也不会给我一个拥抱了。”
周三,安东尼的法律团队提交了上诉通知。位于达拉斯的上诉律师戴维·库尔告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻得克萨斯分社,上诉将聚焦于审判程序是否合法,包括陪审团的遴选方式,以及黑人陪审员是否被不当排除在本案之外。
“最让我在意的第一点是,陪审团全是白人,”安德鲁·安东尼说。这家人还指控证人在法庭上作伪证,陈述前后不一致。
在儿子量刑前的陈述环节,只有海斯发了言。她如今表示,自己当时就觉得陪审团“早就下定了决心”。
“他们把我们耍得团团转,”安德鲁·安东尼说,“我们没有得到公正。有很多本该按正确方式处理的细节被忽略了。”
科林县地区检察官格雷格·威利斯在判决后的新闻发布会上表示,“正义得到了伸张”,陪审员“全程配合且如实作证”。
安德鲁·安东尼称,他认为儿子在审判开始前就已经在公众舆论的法庭上被定罪了。这起案件在全美引发了强烈情绪,支持安东尼和支持梅特卡夫的抗议活动均有发生。两家人都收到了死亡威胁和其他令人不安的电话、信息。
“昨天我收到了死亡威胁,今早又收到了多封邮件、多条威胁短信,还被用各种污言秽语辱骂,”杰夫·梅特卡夫说。
“人们想要我们死,”安德鲁·安东尼说,“在他们如愿以偿之后……他们还是想要我们死。我拿起手机,就能看到人们在叫嚣要我们死。他们想要我们全家去死。”
Karmelo Anthony’s family says “nobody wins” after murder verdict and sentencing

The father of Texas teenager Karmelo Anthony said “nobody wins” after a jury rejected his son’s claims of self-defense and convicted him of murder in the stabbing death of fellow student-athlete Austin Metcalf.
Anthony was accused of fatally stabbing Metcalf at a track meet in Frisco on April 2, 2025. Prosecutors described the attack as intentional, but Anthony said it happened after Metcalf and his teammates taunted and shoved him.
The jury deliberated for less than three hours before convicting Anthony on Tuesday, and later sentenced him to 35 years in prison. He is currently being held at a Texas Department of Criminal Justice facility northwest of Houston.
During an interview for “CBS Mornings,” Anthony’s mother, Kala Hayes, said her son “didn’t mean to hurt anyone” and “was defending himself.”
When asked what he would tell Metcalf’s family, Anthony’s father, Andrew Anthony, said, “It’s unfortunate, it’s where nobody wins.”
“We’ve all been hurt by this,” he said. “Everybody, everyone.”

Meanwhile, Metcalf’s father, Jeff Metcalf, described the verdict as bittersweet. He said he has forgiven Anthony for his own well-being, so he doesn’t “carry the rage, the hate and that around.”
“That poor boy is fixing to experience a life that I would not wish upon anyone, but he deserves what he gets because we’re all responsible for our actions,” Metcalf said. “What it boils down to for me is this: Austin will never walk through that door again, and never give me a hug.”
On Wednesday, Anthony’s legal team filed a notice of appeal. Dallas-based appellate attorney David Coale told CBS News Texas that an appeal would focus on whether the trial was handled correctly, including how the jury was selected and whether Black jurors were improperly removed from the case.
“What stuck out to me, No. 1, was the all-White jury,” Andrew Anthony said. The family also alleged that witnesses lied on the stand and gave inconsistent statements.
When it came time to give statements before their son’s sentencing, only Hayes spoke. She now says she felt the jury “had their minds made up already” as she spoke.
“They did a number on us,” Andrew Anthony said. “We didn’t get justice. A lot of things that were missed that should have been handled a certain way.”
Collins County District Attorney Greg Willis said in a news conference after the verdict that “justice was served” and that jurors “cooperated fully and testified truthfully.”
Andrew Anthony said he believes his son was “already convicted” in the court of public opinion before the trial. The case sparked strong emotions nationwide, and protests have been held on behalf of both Anthony and Metcalf. Both families have also received death threats and other alarming calls and messages.
“Yesterday, I had a death threat, this morning had multiple emails, texts threatening me, calling me all sorts of names,” Jeff Metcalf said.
“People want us dead,” Andrew Anthony said. “After they still got what they wanted…. they still want us dead. I go look at my phone, people want us dead. They want our family dead.”
