Today we dive deep into the tragic case of Karmelo Anthony, the 17-year-old high school athlete who fatally stabbed Austin Metaf during a track meet in Texas. Anthony claims he acted in self-defense — but does the evidence support that claim under Texas law? Attorney Andrew Branca breaks down the facts, police reports, and the critical legal standards for using deadly force in self-defense. We’ll cover why simply being "touched" does not automatically justify stabbing someone, how Texas law defines reasonable use of force, and why provocation with intent can completely strip away your right to claim self-defense. In this episode, you'll learn: ✔️ When deadly force is legally justified — and when it’s not ✔️ How provocation destroys self-defense claims ✔️ What Texas law says about sudden passion and manslaughter ✔️ Why innocent mistakes in self-defense law can ruin your case If you don't know exactly where the legal boundaries are, it's the easiest thing in the world to step over them — and face a lifetime behind bars. 🔗 Want to become your own first line of legal defense?
