Anthony insisted that his crime was an act of self-defence rather than murder and his lawyers argued that he had suffered years of neglect and abuse at the hands of his father.
While he was initially charged for second-degree murder, he was later given a five-year supervised probation period instead, and ordered to attend counselling as well as work towards obtaining a 'GE' high-school diploma.
The extraordinary true story shocked Netflix viewers, who have taken to Twitter to comment on the docuseries.
