Summary
Jake Lang, the far-right influencer accused of terroristic threats against Karmelo Anthony, saw his bond slashed from $1 million to $250,000 — the same judge who presided over Anthony’s murder trial made the call. Lang, locked up since last week, had his lawyer push for just $15,000, citing financial hardship, but prosecutors countered with his $48,000 fundraising account. Court erupted when Lang’s girlfriend brought pepper spray — she was ejected. His defense claims it was just “talking trash” and free speech; prosecutors call it a calculated effort to disrupt the trial with “neo-Nazi nonsense” for clicks. The judge imposed strict conditions: no travel to Texas except for court, mandatory mental health evaluation, and a GPS tracker if he posts bond. The case ties back to Anthony’s 35-year sentence for stabbing Austin Metcalf during a track meet in April 2025 — a trial that itself sparked national controversy.
