I believe I also read that one of Karmelo's own witnesses admitted to Karmelo saying "touch me and find out"
This statement alone is what is going to ultimately get him locked up. I can see the prosecutor reading the Texas statute on provocation and his own words of “touch me and find out” to the jury over and over. The only thing that could save him at this point would be multiple witnesses saying that AM produced a weapon.

I’ve got a four year son (blonde hair blue eyed) and when this happened I immediately started looking to move back to the area I grew up that is still to this day 98% white.
We are closing on our new house in said area the 24th of this month and seeing this trial and how the blacks are supporting this piece of shite gives me further proof my wife and I are making the right decision for our boy.
I have had ENOUGH of this shite and this culture.
In fairness to Frisco/Collin county, these idiots you see in the courthouse video are not from the area, they are well know Black racial agitators that were brought in to stir up rhetoric..

I think the question is “how many bodies can these idiots import if he gets convicted?”
Because what there is right now is probably able to be handled by the local cops beating the fricking shite out of them for rioting if they try.

Black witnesses are going to seal Anthony's fate (with a conviction).
here is the irony in this case IMHO. The assumption that a Texas suburban black person would automatically be favorable to KA is risky. Frisco is 10% black and of that 10% I bet over 80% are educated and professional. So thinking they would default to racial protectionism in the face of a serious murder charge is foolish.
The race hustlers immediately started crying racism when the three black panelists were excluded. Two were educators in the FISD System and one was a guy who said he can't convict a brother. I think that guy said the magic words that would get him disqualified on purpose because he didn't want to serve. All three said they were exposed to media coverage and had strong opinions on the case.
What the lawyers should have been trying to get was as many college educated white women on the panel as possible. As shown by red stick tigress in this thread, these are the bleeding heart non-rational thinkers that could be convinced KA was just a good boy who was scared and did a bad thing.
If the prosecutors were going for racial disqualifications they should have tried to get all of the Indians off the panel. There is no love lost between suburban Indians and Blacks in Texas.
After the eyewitness testimony on Day 2 and Day 3, the defense strategy at this point should be to get this reduced to manslaughter and take Murder off the table if possible.

I've read a few pretty neutral legal analysts that have said the defense witnesses under cross were so brutal for them, that they completely proved the prosecutions case, and that the defense my just rest today and hope for a miracle/nullification

Well, it's in Ken Paxton's home town (McKinney) I doubt he will allow another Minneapolis situation to happen IMO.

Will they be desperate enough to put Karmelo on the stand?

I think the dude's overall point is the same regardless though. There eventually just becomes less and less reason to ever willingly put yourself aroudn those people for any reason.

Yeah, I got that from his post as well. I was just saying those idiots are not representative of the area.

Sig quote worthy there. Nice.
Same can be said for "fascist" and "nazi".

they are paid and allowed to use the case for their fundraising. this was a hail mary defense team strategy to try to muddy the jury pool and create a bunch of noise for the Frisco Politicians and Civic Leaders. The racebaiters have provided the defense's case zero benefit and may have hurt his case.
I think the defense lawyers know what they are dealing with in their client and are trying to shift attention away from a clearly troubled and possibly sociopathic individual.

It is, besides nullification, their only hope
But they also have to see how the prosecutors absolutely obliterated every singe one of their witnesses so far and had all of them admit that there really was no self defense
So that can't possibly go well for them, unless they can get the jury to feel bad for him and think these big bad prosecutors are picking on this little kid

That's a mistrial. They would try him again.
TY for the correction.
A mistrial would be horrible in this situation and would help the defense, so my point still stands. Unlike most here, I do appreciate your knowledge of lawfare.

Another student witness leads off testimony on Monday morning
The jury returned to the courtroom at about 9:08 a.m.
The defense's first witness of the day is a 17-year-old student at Frisco ISD's Centennial High School who was a teammate of Karmelo Anthony on the football and track teams.
Calling people who weren't even in the tent lol

They certainly can't call witnesses from under the tent. Those witnesses weren't simply bystanders with no connection to the victim. They are friends, classmates and teammates of the Austin. Many of them have probably known him for a lifetime, growing up and competing with him. KA has virtually zero connection with them

Defense called a witness on Friday that was a friend of Karmello and WAS in the tent and was a blow to the defense
Posted on 6/8/26 at 9:37 am to Blizzard of Chizz
So far, not a single person to my knowledge has testified that Anthony was even remotely in fear of his life or great bodily harm
The defense has no case. The problem for the prosecution, if there is one, is that juries are mostly idiots
