This morning, a Texas teenager sentenced to 35 years after being found guilty of murdering a rival teen athlete at a track meet last year. 
>> Today, justice was served. 
>> After less than 3 hours of deliberation, a jury convicting 19-year-old Carmelo Anthony in the stabbing death of 17-year-old Austin Metcalfe. 
>> Both families became pretty emotional. 
Uh they were holding it in as best they could, but you could hear um emotions just on both sides. 
>> Overnight, tensions high outside the courthouse. 
>> FREE CARMELO! 
>> THE CASE fueling a debate over race amid criticism that there were no black jurors. 
>> What do we want? 
>> JUSTICE! 
>> WHEN DO WE WANT IT? 
>> NOW! 
>> THE TRAGIC INCIDENT unfolding on a rainy day in April of last year. 
Anthony walking under a tent belonging to Metcalfe's team. 
Metcalfe asking Anthony to leave, leading to the deadly confrontation. 
>> He started getting aggressive and talking reckless. 
And my brother stepped in and said, "You need to move." He's like, "Make me move." 
>> Metcalfe pushed Anthony, who then pulled a knife and stabbed Metcalfe in the chest. 
Metcalfe dying in his twin brother's arms. 
Anthony's attorneys claiming he acted in self-defense, but prosecutors calling it murder plain and simple, telling the jury, "You can meet a shove with a shove, but you don't get to meet a shove with a stab." 
>> This verdict sends a clear message. 
Violence like this won't be tolerated in our Collin County community. 
>> Two families. 
>> This morning, a painful reality. One young man will never come home. 
Another will spend much of the rest of his life behind bars, and two families will carry the weight of that awful day forever.
