Update: Anthony was convicted on June 9. The text below is the original report from the first week of jury selection.
Jury selection is underway in the first-degree murder trial of Karmelo Anthony, the Texas teenager accused of fatally stabbing Austin Metcalf during a dispute at a high school track meet. Prosecutors allege Anthony admitted to the stabbing following an altercation between the two students.
The case has drawn national attention as attorneys prepare to argue whether the stabbing was an act of self-defense or an unlawful use of deadly force. Jury selection is expected to continue through Wednesday, with opening statements potentially beginning later this week.
