... moved into a $900,000 home."

... and will not be able to pay the property tax.

The Anthony family will burn through whatever money they raise and end up poor.
Not unlike the classic stereotype lottery winner.

[plain talk]

Yeah DNA has not been kind to some people.

I recall a book from many years ago, this millionaire goes through a small dying town and had a car break down. No one would help, everyone tried to screw him over. After he got home he sent everyone in town $10,000. and that much money which none of them had ever had, destroyed everyones life.

Supposedly any video of the event showed no reason for Anthony to claim self defense. There was no pushing, shoving or anything to make that claim.

I was looking up the definition of grifter in Websters dictionary and the picture of Karmelo and his family was there.

Is Abbot still considering pardoning him?

[nickcarraway]

Did Mike Howard have to get judicial approval to drop the case?

[daku]

Is anyone surprised that the family who squandered their son’s defense fund on themselves raised a son who openly committed murder is broad daylight ?

All of these people have slept their last peaceful nights long ago.

He needs to be represented by Vincent LaGuardia Gambini.

moved into a $900,000 home.

This is crappy, possibly deliberately misleading/inflammatory reporting: they didn’t purchase the home in question; they’re renting it, supposedly temporarily.

The Anthony family will burn through whatever money they raise and end up poor.

No dispute from me on this assessment. When your first impulse is to use your murderer son’s legal fund to buy a Caddy…

The yute in question doesn’t deserve Vincent LaGuardia Gambini. He deserves the ‘quintessential Norton’ treatment.

WTF are you talking about? Read a map. Those 2 cities aren’t even close.

I listened to Matt Walsh describe this. Just another way the MSM buries news.

“I could be wrong, but I think the average public defender is basically in charge of saying, “You know what? I think your best best is just to plead guilty.””

i think i read somewhere else that PDs spend the great bulk of their time trying to get their client to agree to a plea deal ...

Probably got Coppell confused with The Colony which is next to Frisco.

[cableguymn]

He needs the stuttering public defender
