Karmelo Anthony’s bond reduced, the house arrest in the deadly Frisco -Streich

Frisco, Texas (CBS News Texas)-the 17-year-old suspect because of the fatal first first of a teenager at a Frisco track meeting at the beginning of this month reduced his bond and will now be in Hausarest after a judge’s judgment on Monday.

A judge of Collin County agreed to reduce the bond from Karmelo Anthony from $ 1 million to $ 250,000. Anthony must also wear a ankle monitor and stay in his parents’ house if they can publish a bond.

Anthony has been stabbed to death on April 2 in Collin County’s prison in a Frisco ISD track meeting on April 2. According to testimonies, Anthony and Metcalf were involved in a verbal argument, and at one point Anthony pulled out a knife and once stood into the chest.

Anthony corresponded to the officials at the scene and was taken into custody. During his time in the police vehicle, Anthony asked the officials whether Metcalf was okay and whether what he did would be regarded as self -defense.

Since his arrest, Anthony’s family has hired the defenders Billy Clark and Kim Cole, who were immediately asked to reduce Anthony’s bond.

What happened during the hearing to hear the bonds

During the hearing on Monday, April 14th, Anthony’s defender interviewed the teenager’s father according to his character. His father said that Anthony was an “A” student, the captain of both his football and his route teams.

Anthony’s father also informed the court that he was the only provider of her family and could not afford the amount of $ 1 million.

The prosecutors, who only submitted the police report and no witnesses, also interviewed Anthony’s father during the hearing.

The public prosecutor asked for a separate “attack” in which Anthony was involved in February 4, which was treated internally by Frisco ISD.

The public prosecutor also asked why Anthony’s family had not used the money donated by a donation account for his son’s bond.

“We have no access to the money,” replied Anthony’s father.

Defense lawyers argued that the 412,000 US dollars brought in the online account were “not a prohibition fund” and that the family is needed to get by, since Anthony’s father is currently on leave from work.

During the final arguments, the defenders announced that the judge was “unusual” in view of Anthony’s lack of crime history. They asked the judge to reduce the bond for Anthony to $ 150,000 and ask him to wear a ankle monitor.

The public prosecutor asked that the bond of 1 million US dollars continues to exist and told the judge that the amount for murder cases in Collin County was standard.

The judge finally decided that the bond was reduced to 250,000 US dollars, and if Anthony’s family combined him from prison, Anthony would have to stay in his parents’ house and wear a ankle monitor. The judge said that if Anthony violated this rule, he would return to prison.
