Oh well now it makes sense why they filed an appeal to get more grifting. The parents are real pricks who dont even care about their son, they made 3 million off of his crime yet they refused to get him a good lawyer, instead he had a public defender, gee if they cared SO much about their son they would have gotten him a Johnny Cochran type attorney

Sarah, Karmelo's attorney was NOT a public defender. That fact has been well established, and I don't understand why it keeps getting said.

I'm not a big fan of lawyers, but apparently he's a well respected private attorney.

Frustrating to see how incorrect information continues to be put out there.

Not sure where the $3 million comes from but if you earn 7% on $3 million, that is $210,000 per year which is more than he would make in real life. Also he gets free room and board.

Their lawyer isn't a public defender, he has his own practice. And the crowd funding account only raised about $625K, so I'm not sure they "got rich". The case was such a slam dunk, I don't think there was any way he was getting off. Well, maybe they could have done like in the prosecution of Kyle Rittenhouse, where the jury was tracked and publicly intimidated.

Cochran should be dead by now?
If he ain’t, he should be.
