Karmelo Anthony Judge Removed — and the reason why could become a major issue in Anthony’s fight for a new trial.
After Karmelo Anthony was convicted of murder and sentenced to 35 years, his lawyers filed a motion for a new trial. But Judge John Roach had already gone on television and said the jury “got it right,” said he followed the law, described Anthony as someone who “committed a crime,” and stated that he believed Anthony received a fair trial.
That created a serious problem: could the same judge now impartially decide whether his own trial contained errors serious enough to justify a new one?
Another judge ruled Roach should be recused from the post-conviction proceedings—not because judicial misconduct was proven, but because an outside observer could reasonably question whether he could remain fair and impartial.
Karmelo Anthony now has a new judge. But does that actually put his conviction in danger? We break down what happened, what the ruling really means, and whether this is actually a major win for the defense.
