District Judge Angela Tucker of Colin County on Monday reduced the teenager’s bond, which is accused of stabbing Austin Metcoff at a high school track meat on 2 April in Fisco, Texas.
17-year-old Karmo Anthony faced allegations of first-degree murder in Metkaf’s death. His bond was dropped from $ 1 million to $ 250,000. His latest criminal defense lawyer, Mike Howard hired on Saturday, Anthony posted bonds, but he is absolutely uncertain when he is uncertain.
After the hearing, Howard told reporters after the hearing, “I hope he will be able to make bonds.” “I can’t say how soon it will go. The funds that have been collected are not hurry to come out and then there is a process for the release process after the post is posted.”

The Anthony family had crowded around $ 415,000 on the platform by Monday morning.
The terms of Anthony’s bond include the monitoring of the house arrest and ankle, and he will only be able to leave his house with the permission of the judge.
Howard said, “Every Texon has the right to defend themselves when they are appropriately afraid of their lives.” “Self -defense is a security that applies to each of us. Each story has two sides.”
“It is a tragedy around for both families,” he said. “Running for the decision, testing by public perception, and testing by media is not that we do not ensure how justice is done. We believe that, after a complete investigation, that the truth will be revealed.”
Colin County District Attorney Greg Willis said that the matter would be taken to a grand jury.
“The judge has called, and so what is important is what is next,” he said. “Fisco PD must be finishing its investigation. They will present the case to my office. We will finally review it and present it in a grand jury, and so it is ahead. It is really a lot, it’s so much, I can say too much now. We can say now. We do my own now. We do our own, as far as the facts are the facts that the facts are in the courtroom,”.
If convicted, Anthony cannot withstand the death sentence because he is a teenager, thanks to the 2005 Supreme Court, who gives the verdict in a case called Ropper vs. Semans.

Willis said last week, “The Supreme Court has said that not only you can seek a death sentence against someone who committed a crime when he was 17 years old, you cannot give them life without parole.” “It would not be something we could do, even if we wanted.”
Metkaf was placed on Saturday to rest.
“My son has gone, and he will never come home again,” Austin’s father, Jeff Metcaf said on Thursday “America report,
“Do not politicize it,” he said. “It’s not … it’s a human. This person made a bad option and impressed both his family and my family forever.”
He said, “People ask me, how can you forgive this other person? I said that I forgive another person because forgiveness is not for him. Forgiveness is for me, so I can get peace,” he said.
“His life is destroyed. My life is destroyed.”
