Top-notch attorneys would not be reviewing this case if the evidence were as solid as you guys have claimed.
A newly assembled team of prominent appellate, civil rights, and criminal defense attorneys has announced it will represent Karmelo Anthony in post-conviction proceedings following his recent sentencing in the death of Austin Metcalf.
The development was first reported by Revolt News, which published details of the legal team and supporting materials on June 22. According to a statement released by the attorneys, the group will serve on a pro bono basis and conduct an independent review of the trial record while pursuing all available avenues of appeal.
Anthony was recently sentenced to 35 years in prison after being convicted in the fatal stabbing of Metcalf, a case that drew national attention and sparked intense public debate across Texas and beyond.
The legal team includes Russell Wilson of The Law Office of Russell Wilson II, a board-certified criminal law attorney who previously directed the Dallas County District Attorney’s Conviction Integrity Unit. Gary Bledsoe of The Bledsoe Law Firm and president of the Texas NAACP, Michael L. Ware of the Law Office of Michael Ware, civil rights attorney Brooke Cluse of Ben Crump Law, Dallas trial attorney Sean Daredia of Daredia Law Firm, and and Dallas-based attorney Justin A. Moore of Stafford Moore, PLLC.
According to biographical information released alongside the announcement, several members of the legal team have decades of experience handling criminal appeals, post-conviction matters, civil rights litigation, and high-profile criminal defense cases.
In a joint statement, the attorneys said they were retained following Anthony’s conviction to conduct what they described as a “fresh, independent review” of the proceedings.
