The family of a teen who fatally stabbed a 17-year-old boy in Texas plans to use his $400,000 legal defense fund to move home and hire security after facing racist threats.
Anthony, 17, was in court as he faces a first-degree murder charge for the killing of Austin Metcalf, who died in his twin brother Hunter's arms after being stabbed in the heart at a track meet in Frisco earlier this month.
During the hearing, prosecutors asked his father Andrew Anthony why he could not use the more than $415,000 in donated funds for his son's defense to pay the original $1million bond, which was reduced to $250,000 on Monday.

Andrew Anthony said the fund was to be used for Anthony's legal defense. But he also disclosed that the cash would be used for security and to help the family move after the threats they have allegedly faced since the killing.
The revelation comes after a spokesperson for the family said they can't leave their after their address was leaked online, leading to 'graphic and racist threats,' which included images of 'black children with knives stuck in their head.'

“move home and hire security after facing racist threats.”
“I’ll take “things that never happened” for $500, Alex.”
AND the security company will be by owned by the family...
“leave their “
Live there?
A new Escalade.
“move” = buy a new house. They’ve hit the ghetto lottery.
That sentence is more than a little tortured.
Charge the parents with murder too. Make them spend that money.
It will be interesting to see when he turns 18 and is entitled to his money without parents.
I suspect there are going to be a lot of fights over this money
BETCHA THEY NEVER CAN MOVE FAR ENOUGH
Didn’t need to look now or before, only this time it seems they are living high on the hog. Does anyone know for sure where “the fund” came from?
So this kid comes to a track meet with a hidden knife, barges into area occupied by another team, gets into a confrontation with a member of another team, kills him in spite of no apparent danger to himself and then cries I was just defending myself. Actually seems like he planned on murdering someone that day.
IIRC it was a GoFundMe. Who wouldn’t allow a Kyle Rittenhouse defense fund to be collected.
Mm-hm.
“I suspect there are going to be a lot of fights over this money...” They will probably ending up murdering each other over the stash.
Don’t worry, they will be getting millions more.
Gee, Wally, can’t they trace the threats and images back to their sources? It’s not like we’re living in the 20th century.
Let’s be clear about one thing. I decided to see if I could find their address. It took me less than 3 minutes using the internet that has nothing to do with leaks.
It is a very very nice house. Over 3000 square feet.
This is not a ghetto rat even though he was throwing a gang sign in one of his photos. Internet said it was the Insane vice Lords gang sign.
They may have moved from this house but they are associated with it at some point.
I didnt bother to look at property records to see if they still live there. They may have been renting it.
Estimated value close to $900,000 and estimate rental $4k a month.
Any close by woods with cover and concealment?
It is a regular type subdivision. I decided to look up owner. They don’t own it. Zillow shows history of it being up for rent at close to $4000 a month.
It is a great house.
To afford over $3500 a month they must have some good jobs.
Zillow has over 40 pictures of it.
I guarantee you it is a better house than many of you have...including me!
