Karmelo Anthony’s mother has denied claims that her family is using the funds raised for his legal defense to upgrade their lives.
Anthony’s family got a significant break in the murder case, with a judge slashing his $1 million bond to $250,000. The family also received close to, if not more than, $500,000 in donations.
It’s said that they’ve used that money to get a new car while also spending lavishly. The Daily Mail also reports that the family has been living in a $900K residence in a gated community that costs them $3,500 in monthly rent.
The outlet also revealed having gone to the Texas location themselves and having seen Amazon packages arriving throughout the day. They were also told that the family is not poor, despite their claims of financial hardship in court.
Karmelo is out on bail and under house arrest following charges for the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf earlier this month. The teenagers, both 17, had gotten into a fight during a track meet between their schools when Anthony pulled a knife from his bag and stabbed Metcalf, who died on the scene.
