Karmelo Anthony has been denied a new trial, and new details from the case are raising serious questions.
A Texas judge rejected the motion without explanation, though Anthony's team plans to appeal. As part of the appeal, a "gentleman's agreement" that kept certain information from the jury was revealed. Prosecutors say Anthony had a troubling pattern with an ex-girlfriend, while Anthony's attorney says the victim, Austin Metcalf, had written racial slurs and phrases calling for violence against Black people.
The jury rejected Anthony's self-defense argument and convicted him. His legal team says the fight isn't over.
