Summary
The parents of 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony have given several, emotional interviews following their son’s murder conviction for stabbing fellow teen Austin Metcalf last year. The Anthony’s believe everyone lied on the stand and their son was never innocent until proven guilty. While Anthony’s legal team has already filed an appeal, his parents are concerned for their safety, saying people want their family dead even after “they got what they wanted” with Anthony’s conviction.
