Donations Continue to Stream into Karmelo Anthony’s Official Fund Even After Murder Conviction

In this Breitbart article, Dylan Gwinn reports that donations are still coming into Karmelo Anthony’s official GiveSendGo fund even after Anthony was convicted of murdering Austin Metcalf and sentenced to 35 years in prison.

• The article states that Anthony has already been tried, convicted, and sentenced to 35 years in prison for Metcalf’s murder.
• Despite the conviction, Breitbart reports that donations continued flowing into Anthony’s official fund hours after the verdict and sentence were announced.
• The GiveSendGo campaign reportedly has a goal of $1,396,725, with $629,724 raised at the time the article was written.
• Breitbart notes that the fundraiser’s stated purpose includes “legal defense,” even though Anthony’s trial has already concluded.
• Anthony’s mother, Kala Hayes, is quoted as saying the fund is intended to provide broader support to the family, not only legal expenses.
• The article says Hayes described the fundraiser as “comprehensive assistance” for the Anthony family as they navigate issues surrounding the case.
• Breitbart also revisits earlier reports that Anthony’s family was renting a $900,000 home in a gated Frisco, Texas, community and had purchased a new car after the killing.
• The article concludes by noting that the continued existence of the fundraiser has sparked outrage online, with critics calling for GiveSendGo to remove the campaign after Anthony’s conviction.
