A viral social media claim alleging that the mother of convicted murderer Karmelo Anthony stated she was 'glad' her son took his victim's life has been confirmed as entirely fabricated. The false quote began circulating rapidly online immediately after a Texas jury found the 19-year-old guilty of murder.
In reality, however, courtroom reports and public records confirm that Anthony's mother broke down in tears as the decision was delivered, exposing the online narrative as a malicious hoax.
