The campaign has raised over $150,000 as of this writing, and according to People, the money will be used for his legal defense.
Deric Walpole, Anthony’s defense lawyer, revealed that Anthony is saying the homicide was in self-defense in an interview with NBC station KXAS on Friday.
“I don’t have any reason to disbelieve that, but I need to develop facts, talk to people, and figure out what’s going on before.
I make any statements about what I think happened,” he said to the media. “I don’t have any reason to think it wasn’t self-defense at this time.”
In an attempt to reduce Anthony’s $1 million bail, Walpole has asked for a hearing the following week. The Collin County Jail is where the suspect is being detained at the moment.
According to their arrest document, Anthony reportedly confessed to his role in Metcalf’s killing as soon as police got on the scene. He said, “I was protecting myself,” according.
