Karmelo Anthony, the Texas man convicted of stabbing a star athlete to death at a high school track meet, is asking the court to appoint a free public defender for his appeal, despite his family raising more than a half million dollars in funds for his legal fees. ...
In the days following his conviction, Anthony filed a notice of appeal of the guilty verdict and requested a court-appointed public defender, claiming that he is a "penniless, destitute and indigent person" that is "too poor to employ counsel," according to court documents ...
The request from Anthony comes after a GiveSendGo fundraiser created to help pay for his legal fees and other expenses raised around $634,000 – nearly half of its $1.4 million goal.
... "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. The funds raised will also support a range of urgent and necessary means that have emerged as a result of the situation, including – but not limited to – the safe relocation of the Anthony family due to escalating threats to their safety and well-being, as well as basic living costs, transportation, counseling, and other security measures."
Convicted Killer Karmelo Anthony's Family Used Fundraiser Money For Moving And Living Expenses ...
According to GiveSendGo's website, fundraisers created to aid in legal defense costs for violent charges "must clearly state that all funds raised are intended solely for legal defense costs."
"Fundraisers in this category cannot be used to raise funds for personal support, living expenses, or other purposes alongside legal defense," the website stated.
Additionally, funds must be sent directly to a licensed attorney involved in the defense, and cannot be distributed to the defendant or organizer.

The Metcalf family needs to file a civil suit.....and the sooner the better.
The request from Anthony comes after a GiveSendGo fundraiser created to help pay for his legal fees and other expenses raised around $634,000 – nearly half of its $1.4 million goal.
My read on this:
Karmelo's parents have rightly judged that his chances of winning an appeal are zero, so what's the point of wasting any more money on expensive lawyers?
We (the parents) may as well use the legal defense money to drown our grief in luxury living while the money last.
And the money keeps rolling in so we might as well live high on the hog!
Thanks for killing that white boy Karmelo, have a good time in jail.
The dad was not present; the mom was present.
“I thought they took it down after he was found guilty”
They did but in the donation websites infinite wisdom they have a policy that if the convicted person appeals the sentence they can open another account.
Great ain’t it?
Frisco is a high zoot suburban place,
“ Never has it been assumed by so few to be owed so much from so many.”
😂
“The Metcalf family needs to file a civil suit.....and the sooner the better.”
Definitely. It would reveal more evidence of the truth.
His parents should be sued by the victims family for wrongful death. They should be completely broken. I believe the murderer was still a minor when the murder occurred.
Sounds familiar.
I checked GiveSendGo. Their fees aren't all that outrageous. They charge about 3%, so the charge for raising $600K would be $18K.
JAMES HAS THE SAME LACK OF IQ THAT KARMELLO HAS, IMO
I didn’t know they had blind people playing in the NBA.
More negro drama.
Penniless? He won’t need money where he’s going.
They were paid Friday, by Sunday morning they were flat broke. Week after week. Year after year.
"Budget? Savings? What be dat, bro?"
I had Negro drama fatigue first!
Some riots should help.
