Karmelo Anthony was found guilty of murder in a Texas court, sparking renewed interest in earlier social media claims about his family's fundraiser spending.
Rumors had circulated that the family used donation money to buy a $900,000 house and a new car, but GiveSendGo co-founder Jacob Wells confirmed that no funds had been withdrawn at the time.
Anthony's mother, Kala Hayes, denied the claims, stating that the family had not received 'a single dime' from the fundraiser.
Snopes investigated the claims and found no credible evidence to support the allegations, including no proof of a new car purchase or expensive deliveries at the family's residence.
The family's GiveSendGo page listed several planned uses for the funds, including legal defense, relocation costs, and living expenses.
