“This is the alleged suspect,” a police officer said during the arrest.
“I’m not alleged. I did it,” Karmelo Anthony told the police officer.

If he appeals can his sentence be made more severe?
Should have just handcuffed the little bastard to a fence and let justice be served. Quicker and cheaper. Social cleansing. We need that, social cleansing. Every herd needs thinned and it is better for all when it is. Some mistakes may be made but that happens every day now.
Hopefully, the killer boy will have somebody outside the prison waiting for him when he’s release by a bunch of fatass pancake shack waitresses on a parole board.
Spend your entire life in prison, monster.
I’ll be glad when we don’t have to hear about this kid anymore.
>>If he appeals can his sentence be made more severe?
Hope so!
It would be cool if his entire dysfunctional family could be sentenced to hard time.
Frankly, I'm appalled that the police officer would say something so blatantly nonsensical.
Regards,
That could happen in concept but would require the state to pursue such an outcome.
