EXCERPT:
Karmelo Anthony has been tried and convicted of the murder of Austin Metcalf and sentenced to 35 years in prison. But the online donations to his official fund continue to pour in.
The GiveSendGo fund has a goal of $1,396,725. As of this writing, $629,724 has been raised. But a look at the donation tracker, even hours after the verdict and sentence were announced, reveals that donations are continuing to pour in. This, despite the fact that the fund’s purpose is listed as “legal defense,” and Anthony has already been tried and convicted.
However, Anthony’s mother, Kala Hayes, also lists family-related costs.
