Karmelo Anthony trial consumed by race and self-defense, but hidden hurdle could be key: expert

As testimony in the Karmelo Anthony murder trial resumes Monday, one Texas attorney says the case could ultimately turn less on the fatal confrontation itself and more on how jurors interpret questions of self-defense, race, any prior interactions between the teens and even the unique culture of high school track meets.

Anthony, who is accused of fatally stabbing fellow student Austin Metcalf during a confrontation at a Texas track meet last year, has pleaded not guilty and is arguing he acted in self-defense.
