Karmelo Anthony judge Angela Tucker goes to ground as she's blasted for letting teen 'killer' out of jail
The
Texas judge who reduced the bond of a teen who killed another boy at a track meet has been forced to go private on social media after being widely criticized for her ruling.
Collin County district judge Angela Tucker set her X account to private after she reduced Karmelo Anthony's bond from $1million to $250,000 on Monday.
Anthony, 17, will await his trial for Austin Metcalf's murder in home arrest after
bonding out of jail following Tucker's decision. Metcalf, 17, died in his twin brother Hunter's arms after being stabbed in the heart at a track meet in Frisco.
Tucker, who was elected as a Republican, has been receiving racist attacks after reducing Anthony's bond, with several social media accounts sharing her image and information as they slam the bond reduction.
At the same time the judge has been receiving support from Anthony's supporters, who have
donated more than $425,000 for his defense.
Meanwhile Anthony's father Andrew said Monday they plan on using some of the donated funds to relocate homes after facing racist threats since the killing.
