Teen Convicted in Track Stabbing

A Texas teen, now 19, got 35 years for stabbing a rival track athlete during a high school meet — jurors rejected self-defense after a tent dispute turned deadly. The teen didn’t testify, but his mom begged for mercy; the victim’s dad told him he failed everyone. Deliberations took under three hours, and prosecutors won — no manslaughter plea, no mercy. Witnesses said it started when the teen wouldn’t leave the tent, then the victim pushed him — and the rest was tragedy. The trial drew crowds, spotlighting how fast teen fights can turn fatal.
