The recent ruling in the Karmelo Anthony case has sparked widespread misinformation, with a viral video claiming NBA legend LeBron James pledged $500,000 to Anthony's family.
However, a closer look at the video reveals it's fake, with fabricated audio of LeBron James discussing the NFL, not Karmelo Anthony's case.
X, the platform where the video originated, has added a community note stating the video is fake and uses fabricated audio.
LeBron James has not spoken about the case or pledged any money to Anthony's family.
Meanwhile, Judge John Roach Jr. has defended the 35-year sentence handed to Karmelo Anthony, stating he followed the law and has no personal connection to the case.
