GiveSendGo Statement on the Karmelo Anthony Verdict

A jury has found Karmelo Anthony guilty in the death of Austin Metcalf. Our hearts are with Austin's family, his twin brother, and everyone grieving a loss that no verdict can undo.

GiveSendGo hosted a fundraiser connected to this case. Hosting a campaign has never been an endorsement of a person, their actions, their legal arguments, or their public statements. It is not a declaration of innocence and it is not a political statement. GiveSendGo provides access to lawful fundraising, which we extend across the full spectrum of cases.

This fundraiser was created to support pre-trial needs, and those funds were disbursed over the past year for lawful purposes including legal defense and family relocation. With that stated purpose now complete, the fundraiser has been closed and the funds will be paid out. Our policy is that a fundraiser's stated purpose stays accurate so givers always know what they are supporting.

Our prayer is for Austin Metcalf's family, for all those affected, and for justice, mercy, and peace in our community.

"He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" — Micah 6:8
