"Today’s ruling answers a fundamental question..."

The judge in the trial of Karmelo Anthony for the alleged murder of Austin Metcalf has been recused on Wednesday in a win for the defense.

Karmelo Anthony, 19, was convicted and sentenced to 35 years in prison in June for fatally stabbing a fellow student at a high school track meet.

The 19-year-old black man was convicted of murder for the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf, a 17-year-old white athlete.
