Texas Judge Faces Removal Over Criticism of Jury in Karmelo Anthony's Murder Trial Case
A Texas judge is set to hear arguments Wednesday on whether he should be removed from his post-trial case after criticizing a jury that delivered a guilty verdict in Karmelo Anthony's murder trial. The hearing comes one day before a separate hearing over the judge's suitability for presiding over Anthony's case.
A Texas judge will hear arguments Wednesday over removing him from presiding over Karmelo Anthony's murder trial appeal due to comments he made on the jury's conviction in a separate case. The judge had previously stated that the jury 'got it right' during a 2019 murder trial, raising concerns about potential bias. This hearing comes one day before another separate hearing regarding the removal of the same judge from his post-trial case. If removed, this would be the first time a Texas judge has been disbarred over comments made on the jury system.
