Karmelo Anthony’s family speaks out after he was found guilty and sentenced to 35 years in prison for the killing of Austin Metcalf, here’s what they said.
•They were told not to “speak” to certain people
•They were told to hire “white attorneys”
•Father Andrew Anthony believes it was a “setup”
•They say Karmelo did NOT receive a fair trial
•The defense attorney didn’t object to anything during trial
An appeal has been filed, and I’ll be breaking it down on Substack, https://t.co/9f71irAjlG. Stay tuned.
For 18 years, @GovWesMoore claimed stolen valor until his team quietly begged the Biden administration for a Bronze Star on their way out the door. He lied about his hometown in his own autobiography, submitted a thesis to Oxford that he never actually turned in, and listed awards that never existed. He inherited a $5.5 billion surplus, told Marylanders it was a deficit, signed the largest fee hike in state history, and called it relief. @iamwesmoore doesn't have a memory problem. He has a character problem, and at this point, Marylanders deserve to know it.
1 witness and 2 questions. No character witnesses, pastor, coach or teacher. No mental health professional or mitigation specialist.
A teenager is about to be sentenced for murder, possibly for life, and that is the entire punishment phase the defense put on. It lasted less than hour? In my years of covering high profile cases as a journalist, I have never seen this.
This is an obvious pattern.
No expert witnesses in the guilt phase. Opening statements waived and now this. A competent mitigation case for a young defendant takes months to build—Investigators, childhood records, trauma history, neurodevelopment screening. You construct a human being in front of that jury so they cannot reduce him to the act alone.
They sent his mother up there to say she loves him. Two questions and sat down.
There are only a few explanations. The family didn’t know what they were missing. Counsel made a bad bet that guilt phase sympathy would carry over. Or this defense was never adequately funded or staffed for a case this size.
Every one of those is a problem. Together they form the outline of an ineffective assistance of counsel argument on appeal.
The sentence hasn’t come down yet. But the question of how this defense was built, and for whom, is already answered.
This move is a painful reminder that a $50K commitment towards a reparations study was a bridge too far for this governor. However $75K to an Immigrant task force is ok because they’re “vulnerable to wage theft, housing scams, and workplace abuse” 🚮🗑️ https://t.co/P5WpV0x4b4

Wes Moore vetoed reparations for Black American descendants of slavery, then made immigrant protections a priority.
He rode the other Wes Moore’s story into sainthood, then shut the door on the very lineage that made his ascendancy possible….
That’s not leadership.
That’s extraction.
Wes Moore who refused a task force for REPARATIONS signed an executive order for a Task Force to protect Immigrants from scammers. Clearly an immigrant on immigrant crime.
