Supporters of Karmelo Anthony continue to voice their concerns and frustrations following his conviction and sentencing for murder.
Anthony was convicted and sentenced to 35 years behind bars on Tuesday, June 9, after stabbing and killing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas, last year.
His supporters maintain that the convicted murderer was acting in self-defense when he stabbed Metcalf.
One of them is Donna Robinson, a probation supervisor for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
The Dallas Morning News reported that he made a comment on Facebook that cost him his job.
Addressing comments about the sentencing, she wrote "that Anthony would be protected in prison, adding that she did not care about the loss of the victim's family," according to the outlet.
Fox News Digital also reported that Howard University professor Stacey Patton wrote an op-ed on her Substack, “Dear Jeff Metcalf: Your Son is Dead Because You Failed to Teach Him That Black Children Have Limits,” that essentially blames the victim for the murder.
Another supporter, W.
Burlette Carter, professor emeritus of law at George Washington University, went public with her concerns about the trial after the verdict.
He made a post on Anthony's trial was composed of jurors who are fellow Americans, also known as a “jury of peers.” In all criminal proceedings, the United States Constitution says that the accused has “the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district in which the crime shall have been committed.” Fox News Digital has reached out to Howard University, TDCJ and Burlette Carter for comment.
