The moment #AustinMetcalf was stabed, #KarmeloAnthony was being tossed around like a rag doll. The knife was found at 45° angle, not locked out , which means Ms. Betty was right, Austin impaled himself on the knife.
#BelieveKarmelo this was self defense!
Immediately after the conviction, Karmelo Anthony’s father reached out to me and asked for help assembling a new legal team to fight for his son’s future. From that moment, we have been working nonstop to bring together experienced appellate and civil rights attorneys to review every aspect of this case and pursue relief through the courts.
Today’s filing, formally replacing prior counsel and placing this new team on the record, is the first step in that process.
We remain committed to ensuring that Karmelo receives a full and fair review of his conviction and sentence, consistent with both the evidence and the law.
This is not about headlines; it is about due process, accountability, and the pursuit of justice for a young man whose life now depends on what happens on appeal.
