Caysen Allison stabbed a classmate more than once and got 10
years. Karmelo Anthony stabbed Austin Metcalf once and got 35.
Both said it was self-defense.

Part 2 opens at Anthony's sentencing in Frisco, Texas — including
the victim impact statement from Austin's mother that reframes
the whole debate — then sets the case beside a strikingly similar
one out of Belton: same self-defense claim, very different
ending.

Tyrella and Nikita break down the 35-year sentence, the data on
sentencing disparities, the jury and the Batson challenge, the
online firestorm, and the appeal — built on the record, not the
noise.

Start with Part 1 for the trial and the verdict.

Content warning: fatal violence involving
minors, and a racist remark (quoted and condemned) in the context
of public reaction to the case.
