The Brief Karmelo Anthony has filed a notice of appeal after a Collin County jury convicted him of murder and sentenced him to 35 years in prison in the fatal stabbing at a Frisco track meet. Anthony is expected to be transferred to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, where he will undergo intake and classification before being assigned to a prison unit. The notice of appeal begins the process of challenging the conviction and sentence in a higher court, a common step in serious felony cases that can take months or years to resolve.



Karmelo Anthony has filed a notice of appeal following his murder conviction in the fatal stabbing at a Frisco track meet.

On Tuesday, a Collin County jury found Anthony guilty of murder and sentenced him to 35 years in prison. The filing of a notice of appeal is the first step in challenging the conviction and sentence before a higher court. It is a routine procedure in serious felony cases and does not mean a new trial has been granted.

What happens next to Karmelo Anthony?

What we know:

Following sentencing, Anthony was booked into the Collin County Jail, where a new booking photo was taken. He is expected to be transferred to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

Anthony will first be taken to the state's intake facility in Huntsville, where inmates undergo classification and processing before being assigned to a permanent prison unit. He could ultimately be housed at a facility anywhere in Texas.

Authorities generally do not publicly disclose inmate transportation details before a transfer occurs for security reasons.

FOX 4's Shaun Rabb reported that inmates are typically transported with other prisoners and may make several stops before arriving in Huntsville for intake and classification.

While the transfer process is underway, Anthony's attorneys have formally filed a notice of appeal. The filing preserves his right to ask an appellate court to review potential legal errors that may have occurred during the trial. The appeal process can take months or even years to resolve.
