Another person yelled:  Y'all used to locking up n-as any goddamn way! 

A demonstrator was outraged at the fact that Anthony didn't have a single black juror at trial.

 Tell those white folks, why is a black boy in front of an all white jury? When has a white boy been in front of an all black jury? Never! 

Here's the latest on Karmelo Anthony's murder trial following the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf

The jury consisted of white, Asian and Hispanic members.

The verdict came after four days of sometimes excruciating testimony that was so graphic it visibly shocked jurors and drove Metcalf's family from the courtroom.

Sympathizers of the killer tried to make the sensational case about race, suggesting Metcalf was nothing more than a white bully targeting Anthony, who is black - and whose legal defense raised more than $625,000.

The jury, which didn't include a single black person, heard from students and coaches who were at the Kuykendall Stadium where the fatal altercation took place, as well as from medics, officials and law-enforcement officers who responded after.

Anthony primarily relied on the argument that he committed the slaying in self-defense, although he did not take the witness stand to personally give jurors his point of view.

Experts said the move may have helped doom his chance at an acquittal.

Anthony also could have been found guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter, but jurors nailed him on the top rap.

Teammates of Metcalf meanwhile told the jury that the fight began when the victim, a student at Frisco Memorial High School, asked Anthony, then a 17-year-old from Frisco Centennial High School, to move out from under the Memorial team's tent.

Anthony refused to vacate the bleacher area where the rival teammates set up their tent despite being asked roughly 15 times by Metcalf and others.

At one point during the escalating dispute, Anthony warned Metcalf,  Touch me and find out,  while his hand was in his backpack ready to grab something, witnesses said.

Metcalf eventually shoved Anthony, and the killer teen whipped out a semi-serrated folding knife from his bag, plunging it once into the victim's chest, according to testimony.

Metcalf's twin brother Hunter and others rushed to try to save the mortally wounded student, while Anthony ditched his knife and made for the exit before coaches stopped him, jurors heard.

Anthony told the coaches he warned Metcalf not to touch him and admitted to the stabbing but contended it was in self-defense.

A fellow classmate of Anthony testified Monday that the killer appeared  distraught,  crying and hugging a coach in the moments after the attack.

The trial featured graphic testimony and photos that shook jurors, including autopsy photos of Metcalf's 2-inch wound and his pierced heart.

Metcalf's family stepped out of the courtroom for the disturbing evidence and became emotional at various points of the trial, including when one coach broke down on the witness stand recalling Austin's death.

Anthony will be sentenced by the jury.
