The family lawyer for accused killer Karmelo Anthony sparked outrage after attacking the grieving father of slain track star Austin Metcalf. Footage shows activist Dominique Alexander yelling at Jeff Metcalf for showing up uninvited to a press conference about his son’s alleged murderer. Conservatives called it a disgusting display of hatred toward victims’ rights.
Alexander mocked Metcalf’s attempt to pray with the Anthony family, shouting that the sorrowful father “disrespected his own son’s dignity.” Critics blasted this heartless response to a parent mourning his child’s violent death. Many called it proof that woke activists care more about criminals than victims.
The loudmouth lawyer has a history of radical stances—he previously pushed to defund police and helped far-left politician Cori Bush. His involvement raised doubts about the defense team’s priorities. Supporters of the Metcalf family said Alexander’s antics prove this case is about politics, not justice.
Karmelo Anthony remains free on a lowered $250,000 bond despite facing murder charges. The district expelled him after he allegedly stabbed Metcalf at a Texas track meet. Conservatives argue the soft punishment reflects liberal policies putting criminals’ comfort above public safety.
Alexander falsely claimed the Anthony family hadn’t received money from a $2 million crowdfunding campaign. Records show the fund collected massive donations nationwide. Critics called it hypocrisy—demanding sympathy while pocketing cash from activists exploiting racial tensions.
The lawyer’s aggressive behavior overshadowed facts about the case. Witness accounts and evidence remain sealed because minors are involved. Legal experts warned Alexander’s inflammatory comments could hurt Anthony’s defense by alienating jurors.
Austin Metcalf’s teammates described him as a hardworking athlete with college scholarship offers. His family’s quiet faith contrasts sharply with the Anthony team’s confrontational approach. Mourners placed flowers and track shoes at the site where he bled to death.
This case exposes America’s growing divide between those defending law and order and radicals protecting violent offenders. As communities demand safer streets, activists like Alexander keep making excuses for crime—proving how far the left will go to destroy traditional values.
