Karmelo Anthony Seeks New Trial | Augusta Georgia News

Karmelo Anthony, the young man convicted of murder in a Dallas track meet stabbing, is getting a second chance at trial after his defense argues Judge John Roach made critical errors — including restricting public access, giving post-trial interviews, and limiting cameras — creating a clear conflict of interest. Supporters are rallying behind him, chanting “Free Karmelo!” while prosecutors insist the jury’s unanimous verdict was fair. A new judge will preside over the upcoming retrial hearing, where the defense also challenges jury instructions on self-defense and character evidence. Tomorrow morning, they’ll formally request a new trial — and the legal battle just got more intense. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
