re: Trial set to begin in murder of Austin Metcalf by Karmelo Anthony; Verdict is GUILTY

Jazzy is scum. It’s those like her who her cause the issues. And the fact a public figure can say this with no recourse is disgusting.

Re appeal comment. What can possibly be appealed? He actually got off easier than deserved.

He can claim ineffective counsel, challenging the composition of the jury, etc, but he likely doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

I agree and curious it this tracks:

1. Ineffective counsel: defense counsel can do everything they can to establish reasonable doubt, but not when there's very little reasonable doubt available. I know there's a lot of hoopla about no character witnesses or more witnesses to refute the story, but it seems they didn't call many of those because there weren't. Effective counsel needs a credible defense.

2. composition of jury: a jury of your peers doesn't guarantee you get anyone of your gender/race/demographic/socioeconomic status. It's just people of your community. Prosecution appears to have sound cause to strike who they did.

Not sure what the other ones would be.

So why are the blacks pissed?

Because ghetto rules say that touching someone allows the touched individual to stab them to death, apparently.

I am surprisingly uninformed about this whole thing despite living close to it

But let me get this straight, this dude goes to an opposing teams tent on a rainy day for track, member of opposing team bullies him to get out because it’s not the right tent. The dude grabs a knife (not allowed on campus) and slashes him like Michael Myers off Halloween?

It's actually worse than that. Karmelo wasn't on a different team, he was suspended from school in the first place, meaning he wasn't to be allowed at any school functions at all. He sat under the tent and after being asked to leave over a dozen times, began calling everyone in the tent pussiees and taunting them. When confronted, he starts making threats of "touch me and see what happens" and stabbed the victim once in the heart.

They'll appeal over the jury composition/Batson challenge rulings, they'll claim ineffective assistance both on the merits and in the sentencing phase, and they'll appeal the sentence itself as too harsh. Along with any other possible objection or motion that went against them for the entire trial.

In other words, they (like all convicted murderers) throw everything at the wall. Almost none of it ever sticks.

So this mf’er was suspended from school? Therefore he shouldn’t be on any campus, these black people supporting him are idiots.

The Metcalfs need to scorch the earth

Anthony wasn’t bullied. After saying hey to someone he sat down and stayed in another team’s area at a district track meet on district property, and then he was asked to leave that area around 10 to 15 times (a few times by other students than Austin) and mouthed off like they would have to make him. Victim said he wasn’t going to fight him at a track meet. No one knew Anthony had a weapon as you stated it was blatantly against school and district policies for students to have (not a crime with a blade shorter than 5.5” but against long standing rules that students and parents sign off on every year before school starts). While unfolding knife in backpack or shoulder gym bag Anthony said something like touch me and see what happens. Austin put his hands on Anthony’s shoulders at most as a start of a redirection to move him out or a slight push which Anthony responded to by stabbing him in the heart. It all happened very quickly before any coach, staff, or even other students even had anything to break up. Anthony told some witnesses afterwards that Austin put his hands on him like that was justification for murder.


Besides the different cultures and views on being disrespected and justifiable reactions to that disrespect those blacks have been fed the lie that Anthony was being bullied, surrounded by white students, and put in fear of his life by Austin who they have been told was the actual thug. The ones out there protesting or defending Anthony online are either too ignorant to be able to understand the facts and law on their own or know it was murder but are profiting off of playing the race card.

I don’t think this is accurate.

In fact one of the problems is the Centennial was too lenient with him on known issues at school due to not wanting to harm a black kid’s future.

They actually would have helped him have a better future and maybe helped save a life if they had held him accountable and to same standards they hold white students. Too many at Centennial went woke after the summer of love.

It is possible he should have been suspended over behaviors at school, but he was not.

I saw this comment on Facebook and reported it as hate speech/threats, just to see if they'd actually do anything as I've heard of some pretty tame things getting axed.
