Karmelo Anthony emerged from the Collin County Jail 13 days after his arrest for the murder of Austin Metcalf.

The high school student had nothing to say as he headed to his parents home where he will be confined to an ankle monitor.

It’s the result of a hearing this morning over whether to lower his bond.

A new defense attorney representing the Frisco teen accused of murder had his client’s father testify about his son’s character telling the judge he was a captain on his football and track teams and that he held 2 jobs while in school.
