From the New York Post: "Online donations to Karmelo Anthony’s official fund continue to stream in even after murder conviction." From the article:
Donations continue to pour for Karmelo Anthony, surpassing $627,000 online shortly after a Texas jury convicted the teenager of first-degree murder Tuesday.
Dozens of donors contributed to a fundraiser after Anthony, 19, was found guilty Tuesday afternoon.
The campaign, which has goal of $1.39 million, continues to rake in money as the controversial trial touched racial lines — and sparked protests of system racism by Anthony supporters following the verdict.
These are from the anti-racist folks who believe there should be no consequences for a black man killing a white youth. The article continues:
Anthony, who is black, was sentenced to 35 years in prison on Monday for the fatal April 2, 2025 stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf, who is white, at a track meet in Frisco.
The six-figure haul will pay for relocating the Anthony family, basic living costs, and essential security measures, according to organizers.
And, for good measure, Anthony's family made this disclosure: “While legal defense is a critical part of this journey, we want to make it clear that this fund is not solely dedicated to legal expenses.”
That is supposed to be for a lawyer and he has public defender.
