Karmelo Anthony’s family is asking supporters to fork over $250,000 to pay for the convicted killer’s appeal after a Texas judge shot down his request for a new trial.
The GiveSendGo fundraiser has already raised $27,000 from grassroots supporters of the 19-year-old, who was sentenced to 35 years in June for the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf, 17, at a high school track meet in 2025 in Frisco.
“We understand that the pursuit of justice through the appellate system requires tremendous resources. This is why the legal fund has been established,” family spokesperson Dominique Alexander told reporters on Wednesday.
Last month a Collin County judge denied Anthony’s motion for a new trial, but the hearing dragged out evidence kept under wraps via a handshake deal between the prosecution and defense.
Anthony had a history of violent, threatening texts, and his ex-girlfriend reported that he had been stalking her shortly before the stabbing, attorneys claimed.
In exchange for keeping that out of court, the defense agreed to not mention Metcalf’s criminal record stemming from racist graffiti that he and two others allegedly spray painted.
Last-minute squabbles over the deal reportedly forced Anthony’s lawyers to keep him from taking the stand, effectively sinking his case, his new legal team argued during the hearing for retrial.
“So much evidence came out. That evidence showed not only this family but the entire world that he did not receive a fair trial,” Anthony’s co-counsel Sean Daredia told reporters on Wednesday.
But the appeals process could stretch into next year, and much longer if a new trial is granted, his team said.

Oh, sure! Hey, lemme check my pockets!
I thought GiveSendGo emerged as a rival to the woke GoFundMe. Now they are happy to fund murderers?
I need to buy more fabric, so financially are a little stretched.
didn’t know sendgivego helps convicted felons get free money ...
property taxes are due, like the movie (NEXT Friday)
The writer may be mistaken
Guess they need a bigger house
That kid is exactly where he belongs. In the slam.
Sheesh, article at that site states evidence was not allowed which showed Metcalf was racist and violent. That is why the defense is seeking new trial apparently claiming that is relevant to the defense.
Here’s the link: https://atlantablackstar.com/2026/08/27/photo-shows-metcalf-twin-grabbing-mother-by-throat/
The defense are attempting to paint Metcalf as the aggressor in the fight- further victimized his family (metcalf’s) by sullying his name after his death. Glad the judge didn’t allow another trial but the karmello lawyers will likely shop judges till they get one that does allow it. Meanwhile the $270,000 is apparently just for the lawyers e xpenses according to the article, but somehow I think some. Will make it. Into hands of karmellos.
Karmelo needs some Jeffrey Dahmer justice.
Having trouble making next month’s mortgage payment?
luxury house the family purchased with go fund me needs repairs.
What a bunch of garbage these folks are.
Hell - the victim’s family only raised $250K - let the killer rot until Hell open’s its fiery arms to welcome him.
> They need to get some nice new cars to go with the new house they bought with Karmelo’s first Go-Fund-Me campaign.<
They ain’t stupid. Even their attorneys are saying not to appeal because there is a whole bunch more evidence of premeditation that was not presented. Karmelo could end up in prison for more than the 35 years.
The parents don’t care about him. They just want more free stuff.
EC
More grifting for a murderer. Well, they will probably get some funds from the hard left. Fools and their money are soon parted.
I will donate a rope and tree.
C’mon. Giv’em a break. Their Escalade is almost a year old and they want matching Escalades.
Post of the thread!
I sit around with that extra $30, $40 in my pocket and what do I want to do?
Do I wanna help Karmelo Anthony so he can appeal his murder conviction, or keep Cablevision and all the movie channels?
I gotta go with the fucking HBO.
I've gotta go with fucking movie channels here.
You know, maybe if I had a second income, with a little more cash, but...
I need my titty channels.
