Karmelo Anthony's 30-Year Sentence: What the Appeal Will (And Won't) Change

If you or someone you know experienced serious mental health struggles as a result of social media use, you may be entitled to a potential recovery of over $1,000. Visit https://morganmorganpa.sjv.io/c/72737... to submit a claim now. Chris Cuomo and defense attorney and former prosecutor Mark Eiglarsh close out their Karmelo Anthony breakdown with what the appeal team is up against — Eiglarsh putting the odds "somewhere between zero and low" and walking through the Texas precedent that affirmed a death penalty conviction despite the defense lawyer literally sleeping through trial. From there Cuomo flips the entire perspective, asking listeners to put themselves in Austin Metcalf's parents' shoes — including the disturbing reveal that both of their homes have been swatted in the aftermath of the verdict — and lays out why, after 30 years of covering violent crime, he has never seen a defendant do something this violent with no real history of violence. The honest closing: the law actually is simple, the verdict may not be wrong, and the only thing the defense never put on trial was the lived experience that might have explained any of it.
