Today's riddle: How fast is milk when you pour it? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. AA's Strict Refund Rule, Delta's AI Updates, and More Airline News (upgradedpoints.com) — McKinney travelers will soon have commercial flights right from home as Avelo becomes the first scheduled carrier at McKinney National Airport starting November 11, basing two Boeing 737s there. The airline plans nonstop service to Florida, Las Vegas, and Orlando-area destinations under the new DTX airport code, though construction on the terminal and support facilities is still racing toward completion.
2. Karmelo Anthony dropped plans to testify over track stabbing, lawyer says as teen seeks retrial (texarkanagazette.com) — In a McKinney courtroom, lawyers for 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony argued he deserves a new trial for the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf at a North Texas track meet, saying confusion over an evidence agreement discouraged him from testifying. The hearing also highlighted how racial tensions, online threats, and strict security shaped the original trial, while a new judge now weighs whether to overturn the conviction.
3. Judge denies Karmelo Anthony's motion for a new trial (courthousenews.com) — A judge in McKinney has denied 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony's request for a new trial in the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Frisco track meet. Anthony's lawyers argued courtroom access limits and jury instructions on self-defense were unfair, but the ruling keeps his murder conviction and 35-year sentence in place while the case moves to the Texas Fifth Court of Appeals.
4. Why Was BigXthaPlug Arrested? Here's What To Know (blavity.com) — A Dallas rapper was recently booked into the Collin County Jail in McKinney on charges including DWI, marijuana possession, and unlawful possession of a firearm. The arrest follows earlier, similar cases in Dallas and Arlington, though some past charges were dismissed. Details of the latest stop haven't been released, but the case involves only small amounts of marijuana.
