Karmelo Anthony Bringing Out the Legal Big Guns to Pursue Appeal

The fight for Karmelo Anthony’s freedom is heading into the next round … and a new group of heavyweight attorneys are now leading his effort to overturn his murder conviction.

A team including Texas NAACP President Gary Bledsoe, veteran appellate lawyer Russell Wilson II, and civil rights attorney Brooke Cluse announced Monday it has taken over Anthony’s case and will conduct an independent review of the trial record while pursuing all available avenues of appeal.

The newly assembled legal team says its focus will be determining whether any errors occurred during the proceedings — and raising any issues it believes could support overturning the conviction.

The lawyers say they’re taking a fresh look at the case … and they also acknowledged the toll the case has taken on both families … saying the tragedy forever changed multiple lives.
