() The co-CEO of online fundraising site GiveSendGo defended the company’s decision to leave up a page for Karmelo Anthony, a Texas teen arrested in the fatal stabbing of high schooler Austin Metcalf.

Heather Wilson, co-CEO of GiveSendGo, said on social media the company is seeing “similar outrage from the right as we once did from the left” when it allowed similar campaigns for Kyle Rittenhouse and Daniel Penny.

“A few key things to consider: 1. In each of these high-profile cases, someone tragically lost their life,” Wilson wrote. “2. In each case, there was no mystery around who was involved in the incident.”

She added that in those cases, people gave “not necessarily because they condoned” the actions of the person they were raising money for, “but because they wanted to support due process and ensure a fair trial.”

Teen accused of stabbing another teen at Texas high school track meet

Authorities say Anthony, a 17-year-old Frisco Centennial High School student, stabbed Metcalf, a 17-year-old student at Frisco Memorial High School, at a high school track meet on April 2.

According to a police report obtained by the Dallas Morning News, Anthony told law enforcement who responded to the incident at David Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco that he was acting in self-defense.

Meghan Metcalf, Austin’s mother, told the local ABC station WFAA, “My son is not here anymore, and I don’t understand it.”

Jeff Metcalf, Austin’s father, said, “He was a leader of men. Voted team MPV this season and carried a 4.0 GPA. We will all remember him for the way he impacted others’ lives. I love you forever, son. It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later.”

There are now GiveSendGo pages for the families of both Metcalf and Anthony. While Metcalf’s family also has GoFundMe campaigns set up in its name, the platform says in its terms of service that it does not allow fundraising for “the legal defense of financial and violent crimes.”

GiveSendGo founder: ‘Let the courts decide. Let us remain consistent’

Wilson, in her post about Anthony’s GiveSendGo campaign, said that from the website’s founding, it opted not to determine “who deserves a defense.”

“That’s the role of our justice system,” Wilson said. “If we truly believe in consequences, let’s make sure they come through due process not mob outrage. Let the facts come out. Let the courts decide. Let us remain consistent.”

Teen being held on $1M bond, lawyers believe this is ‘excessive’

Anthony was arrested and charged with Metcalf’s murder. He allegedly told police, “I was protecting myself,” and said, “He put his hands on me, I told him not to.”

Anthony is being held in the Collin County Jail on a $1 million bond, the Dallas Morning News reported. His lawyers said in a statement they are seeking to reduce the bond, calling it “excessive.”

The statement said Anthony and his family are “sincerely saddened that a life was lost.”

The statement continued, saying, “This will certainly be a long road ahead, and during this challenging time, we ask for prayers for both families and we ask for your patience and respect for the legal process as we seek the truth.”
