Breaking indictment related to Karmelo Anthony/Austin Metcalf case. A Kansas woman has been arrested and faces federal charges for allegedly threatening to kill the father of Austin Metcalf. We've already seen Collin County authorities charge someone for threatening to kill Karmelo Anthony.
That being right wing activist Jake Lang.
Now the feds have charged a woman who they say threatened to kill Jeff Metcalf, who is the father of Austin Metcalf.
According to the indictment, Sharifa Nicole Henderson "...sent a message on Facebook Messenger to a crime victim's family member, known to the Grand Jury, and stated she would kill the family member, put them in a body bag, and stated, "now this is a threat take me to court [expletive]."
That was in June around the time the trial ended.
After that, another message to Jeff Metcalf allegedly from Henderson and sent the next day stated that "...she would "demolish" the family, and "strangle" a family member." That family member again being Jeff Metcalf.
The third threat that led to this 3 count indictment involved another message which stated "don't worry I'll kill you next," and "I will hunt you forever until I kill you ... I will be there. You will always have to look over your [expletive] shoulder." A grand jury indicted Henderson who has already appeared in court.
She faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 if convicted.
🚨HUGE BREAKING UPDATE - 🚨The holdout juror broke his silence by speaking with an INDEPENDENT JOURNALIST, Fugitive TV Podcast, this evening! 👏👏👏 HERE IS A FULL DETAILED WRITE-UP.
The holdout juror is NOT an immigrant. According to marriage and divorce records, he married a Haitian immigrant. She was illegal. He did not know this when he married her.
He did not show his face. He is keeping to himself since his name was doxxed on X. His life has been threatened, and people have stalked his house. NBC Boston did not give you the full story.
Michael, the juror, is now divorced. He filed for divorce first. The marriage was fraudulent because she was not a citizen. When he did this, everything hit the fan. She didn’t want a divorce. His ex-wife filed a counterclaim a couple of months later. He was denied his divorce petition because she was not an American citizen.
The incident with the nephew - according to the juror, there is a lot of information that many do not know. For example, the nephew is 6-foot-2, and Michael is only 5-foot-7. This obviously does not give anyone the right to hit anyone. But I think it is safe to say that we do not know all of the facts of the matter. Michael stated the truth will come out.
None of this matters when it comes to what happened in the courtroom. He filled out his paperwork appropriately. He did not lie on his paperwork. He was asked if he had ever been arrested, and he checked the box “yes” and afterward had to describe what happened.
He even took the stand, and the prosecutor asked him questions. He was questioned about his past arrest. He was then selected. I would like to make it very clear that this is something that happens with all of the potential jurors present. Which means that the jurors who have already been interviewed could have said this at any point, but they chose to keep that information from the public.
Michael told Fugitive TV that from day one, eight of the jurors automatically wanted to go for not guilty.
The eight jurors were “activists,” according to Michael. He said every day they voted, and the eight who were convinced that she was not guilty were doing their best to convince the other four that she was not guilty.
At the very end, it was him and another juror. She was also voting guilty. At the last minute, she caved. He said he knew she was guilty based on the EVIDENCE.
He was open about what he believed and what he said. He said the other jurors are telling half-truths or just outright lies.
He’s never been convicted of a crime. His past should not matter. He said that the entire time, his ex-wife was just trying to get status and citizenship to live in the U.S.
Michael said that the report on him that went viral, where they said they spoke with his family members, did not report exactly what was actually said. He said that the family members they spoke to were likely family members of his ex-wife, and he does not even speak with them. Therefore, they cannot know what actually happened in the jury room. Who DID NBC Boston speak with? According to Michael, it was not one of his own family members.
Michael stated that he believes he’s being targeted because he is a Republican - a Black Republican with conservative values. He believes that he was on a juror panel with a large number of Democratic voters. And he knows exactly what’s happening right now, and I think that you all do as well.
A Black Republican stood his ground. It is not surprising that he is now being dragged through the mud.
This is a very bad precedent for people who will serve on a jury in the future for a national case. No one wants to do this when, based on their decision that they say is based on the evidence, they are crucified online for their political beliefs. You have all seen it. You have seen the threats that I get on a daily basis. I cannot imagine what this man is going through.
But for now, I stand with the Black conservative Republican juror.

@badazn Because Victorias Secret models are for men who like the glamorous, bombshell look. And Sydney Sweeney is more of a girl next door, which some men really like.
@twidhson@joaoasousa Usually the state is very adamnet on picking up charges, even if the victim doesn’t want them to stick. That’s how they help protect victims who want to protect abusers. Whatever he may have done, it’s crazy to condemn him and then support a murderer who killed her children.
@joaoasousa@twidhson That’s not what I’m saying, I’m saying the opposite. In my case he was obviously guilty & convicted bc of the evidence. I’m saying they must have not had evidence to convict the juror so he’s innocent if it wasn’t proven.
@twidhson@joaoasousa I was afraid to testify or make official written statements, the man who abused me was still convicted of multiple felonies because of the physical evidence and my bodycam. They still go to court without victim cooperation, if they have evidence.
@faster34me@DoctorTurtleboy@TalkinStros That’s very interesting, must’ve not had evidence. Bc if they do, they pursue convictions even without victim cooperation.
