Defense attorneys for Karmelo Anthony are setting up for an appeal after the 19-year-old was convicted of murdering another student at a track meet last year.

Less than a day after Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison for the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf, another Frisco ISD student, his lawyers filed a notice of appeal Wednesday morning.

Metcalf was convicted of first-degree murder after seven days of trial and three hours of deliberation by a Collin County jury.
