The family of Karmelo Anthony, who has been charged in the stabbing death of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf, plans to use crowdsourced funds raised for Anthony's defense to move and hire security. They say this is necessary after facing racist threats.
Anthony, who faces first degree murder charges, was in court on Monday, where he was released on $250,000 bond, a reduction of the original $1 million set by the judge. Anthony was also put on house arrest pending trial. Judge Angela Tucker said that "they've never had the security issues they've faced with this case."
