MCKINNEY, Texas —
Karmelo Anthony’s appeal for a new trial has failed according to multiple sources. Retired Kaufman County Judge Michael Chitty denied an appeal for a new trial on Saturday, Aug. 22.
Anthony’s appellate team cited a number of errors in the trial, including that prosecutors violated a secret agreement made with Anthony’s trial defense team to keep certain evidence — including allegations of racism and violence — from being disclosed to jurors. The Collin County District Attorney’s office has said that it acted ethically during the trial.
