If Karmelo had argued sudden passion from the jump, took responsibility with overwhelming remorse, and didn’t play victim - he probably would have got a 5-10 bid.
But his family was determined to make him the next great social justice icon, they let BLM Twitter convince them.
🚨 BREAKING / RECEIPTS: Thelma Anderson was presented online as a legal voice after the Karmelo Anthony verdict but there is one very important detail people were not told.
The State Bar of Texas currently lists Ms. Thelma M. Anderson as “Not Eligible to Practice in Texas” with disciplinary status: “Suspended: Disciplinary Reasons.”
And it gets worse.
The Texas Board of Disciplinary Appeals says Anderson pleaded guilty in federal court to wire fraud, was adjudicated guilty, received four years of probation, and was ordered to pay $20,871 in restitution to the SBA.

FOX 4 previously reported Anderson was a former Dallas County prosecutor accused of taking out a roughly $20K PPP loan using fraudulent paperwork while claiming payroll expenses for a side business. FOX also reported she had been an assistant district attorney at the Dallas County DA’s Office from 2016 to 2022. [https://t.co/XRjRN32l7O]
So before anyone sells her as an “attorney” giving serious legal commentary on the Karmelo case, maybe ask the obvious question:
Why was the audience not told she is currently not eligible to practice law in Texas?
That is not a small detail.
That is the whole credibility problem.
Public records don’t whisper. They scream.

One of Karmelo Anthony's most outspoken supporters, Jerome Parker Winston, was arrested shortly after the verdict.
Winston had repeatedly clashed with people outside the courthouse throughout the trial. Was recorded jumping up and down in a white man's face.
Following Anthony's conviction and 35-year sentence for the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf, Winston was taken into custody on a charge of unlawfully carrying a weapon.
You can't make this stuff up.
🚨 BREAKING: The Trump administration is officially DEFUNDING TENS OF MILLIONS of dollars from Los Angeles Democrats' HOMELESS program after rampant fraud, abuse and waste
LONG OVERDUE! The fraud is crashing down! 🔥
"They just were informed within the last hour that they are losing these tens of millions of dollars. They've gotten almost over a billion dollars since 2021 and federal taxpayer funding."
"This is a huge blow to this L.A. homeless authority."
@Orthodixit@SonnieJohnson I’m a founding generational Texan. My grandfathers on both side fought in the Texas revolutionary war. Our family plaque is hanging in the capitol if you would like to read it. My family migrated from wales to Texas. Reason for the flag.
@thevivafrei@thevivafrei yes I’m aware of that. Both made a bad decision in a fracture of a second that can never be taken back. We have to teach our young men how to interact together. Less ego .. and more respect for each other. We lost them both because of it. Conflict resolution.
@BreezeDFW@ANTHONYBLOGAN “Location-restricted” read that part. Then false reference the school district reference on knife restrictions. Then you will understand.
@Vince524@Ahshanti@Nine4West Sliding in manslaughter at the last minute .. means the prosecution changed their stance on the weapon. And the defense argument would have never been based upon solely self defense.
@Vince524@Ahshanti@Nine4West Agree, the fact that the prosecutor and judge allowed manslaughter at the last minute to be an option for the jury should be grounds for an appeal.
Without hearing personally the witnesses testimonies. See the real evidence. And based on his age and criminal background. only going by what I’ve read and heard… my guess is that he will be sentenced to 30 years with the possibility of parole at some point. He’ll probably do at least 10. If he can’t get an appeal. With good behavior.
I don’t agree with the murder charge. Unfortunately, having a weapon on school property is a state felony. And under Texas code .. a death that occurs while a felony is committed the charge is escalated to murder. Why his legal team had to argue his case of self-defense. In Texas murder doesn’t have to be proven with motive. Only that the defendant committed the murder. Capital murder in the state of Texas is the only one that has to be proven with motive beyond the shadow of a doubt.
