"If you have children, and it was your child who was murdered, would you like people dragging his name through the mud?"

Video from the scene showed multiple verbal and physical confrontations breaking out after jurors convicted Anthony of murder and a judge sentenced him to 35 years in prison.

The fundraiser initially sought nearly $1.4 million and ultimately raised just under $634,000 before being removed.

He was initially housed in isolation within the jail’s infirmary.

"You can't look me in the eyes, but you can stab my f****ing son?"

Prosecutors urged jurors to reject Anthony’s self-defense claim and argued that he was responsible for escalating the encounter.

“Austin Metcalf had no legal right to use force to eject Karmelo Anthony from that tent."

Without testimony directly acknowledging the stabbing, Anthony’s legal team may face challenges in securing a self-defense instruction for jurors.

Some jurors reportedly gasped, while one woman covered her mouth as medical evidence was displayed.
