Funds will reportedly go toward security and moving expenses, as the family claims they’ve been doxxed.

Aftermath of incident clarified.

Anthony, 17, is out on bond after a controversial reduction in court, despite admitting to the fatal stabbing.

Anthony had a knife. Why? His attorney hasn’t said. But the defense is claiming self-defense.

Judge Angela Tucker, who lowered the bond, has gone private on social media after being hit with racial abuse.

“We’ve never had security issues like this,” the judge reportedly said in court on Monday.
