Trump was right. Jasmine Crockett is truly one of the most low-IQ members of society — and it might not even be close.

Crockett said her heart breaks for the Karmelo Anthony verdict. This is because she believes a young man will be sent to prison for 35 years when he has his whole life ahead of him. And no, she did not mention that another young man’s life was forever taken far too early. She was not concerned about the victim or the family.

Per TMZ:

Rep. Crockett doesn’t hold back as she explains why the case hits close to home … and why race and venue played a huge role.

One thing she makes abundantly clear … she doesn’t think Anthony got a fair shake … especially in front of a jury that did not have a single Black juror.

Rep. Crockett feels Anthony’s claim that he was afraid during the fatal confrontation at a high school track meet was largely dismissed … and she questions whether jurors would’ve viewed the situation differently if the races were reversed.

The online fundraiser created for convicted murderer Karmelo Anthony and his family has been taken down after raising nearly $634,000, according to a report.

Anthony was convicted of murder Tuesday and sentenced to 35 years in prison for fatally stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas.

He has since filed a notice of appeal challenging the conviction.

In appeal documents, Anthony claimed he cannot afford a new attorney, WFAA reported.

A Collin County, Texas, jury found Karmelo Anthony guilty of murder on Tuesday for the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during a high school track meet in Frisco in April 2025. The jury rejected Anthony’s claim that he acted in self-defense.

The jury returned the verdict after roughly three hours of deliberation. Reports indicate the jurors did not opt for a lesser manslaughter conviction.

The New York Post provided a brief recap of the events that led to Metcalf’s death:

The violent confrontation erupted in the bleachers of Kuykendall Stadium when Anthony refused to leave the tent reserved for the Memorial High School track team during a rain delay.

Anthony was repeatedly asked to leave the tent multiple times, and Metcalf began to argue with him.

The argument escalated further when Anthony said to Metcalf “touch me and see what happens,” while keeping his hand hidden in his backpack, implying that he had a weapon, according to FOX4.

Metcalf pushed him and Anthony fatally stabbed him in the chest with a knife.

Witnesses for the state testified that Anthony acted as the aggressor.

Anthony was caught on video stating, “I’m not alleged, I did it.”

“He put his hands on me.”

Karmelo Anthony has been found guilty of first degree murder in the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf during a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas, last year. The Collin County jury reached the verdict Tuesday afternoon, rejecting Anthony’s claim of self-defense after deliberating for less than three hours.

An angry mob of Anthony supporters gathered outside the courthouse, chanting “we want justice!”

Fights broke out, with police swiftly making arrests to keep the peace.

“Deputies have made their presence clear, that they’re not going to tolerate any form of chaos,” Fox News reported.
