Karmelo Anthony, 17, has made an outrageous demand after he was arrested and charged with murder in the death of football star, Austin Metcalf, 17, who died in his twin brother’s arms.
Anthony’s family hired a defense attorney who has requested to lower his bond to $1 million.
His attorney, Deric Walpole spoke to local NBC affiliate, KXAS-TV, outside the Colin County Jail in McKinney Texas on Friday and revealed that Anthony is claiming self-defense in the alleged murder.
‘I know that my client said it was self-defense. I don’t have any reason to disbelieve that, but I need to develop facts, talk to people, and figure out what’s going on before I make any statements about what I think happened,’ Walpole said.
‘I don’t have any reason to think it wasn’t self-defense at this time.’
