I also read on twitter from people familiar with the track scene in various parts of texas (but it's probably pretty universal) that Anthony was clearly casing the tent to steal shite. It apparently happens all the time.
Not trying to be a jerk, but with this trial in particular, I wouldn’t believe much of anything from social media accounts on either side.
Most of the talking points that people are screaming at each other over on twitter have been completely manufactured.

I get that. But like 30 years ago in junior high our bus got robbed while playing a football game at a local public school. It's not out of the question that this kind of thing is still happening.

I could see a deal. Has there been a single positive development for the defense yet? You can’t manufacture a self defense argument when the best you have is “uh we saw Metcalf almost push Karmelo” before the stabbing.

What kind of deal would the prosecution give? 40 years rather than life without parole?

Cross examination would be brutal. Kid is probably retarded and would crash out on the prosecution and threaten to stab them too.

i so wish they'd put him on the stand.

Seriously? That would be the dumbest move ever. He would get absolutely roasted.

We’ll see.
I think his representation is smart enough not to do this but Karmelo could still insist on doing so.

If I am the family, I am not easily greenlighting a deal unless they just want to get it over with. Yes, you take the risk of a not getting a guilty verdict, but you've also had to suffer through seeing your son lying dead with a gaping chest wound.

I assume the defense would be pushing manslaughter which I believe is a MAX of 20 years but possibility of parole after a very short time

I’m not saying that’s not what was happening, but as far as I’ve read, the prosecution hasn’t even suggested this angle.
It seems pretty clear that he went under Memorial High tent because of a combination of the weather and he loosely knew a young man on the Memorial team.

Or because he was intending to murder someone

He'll be out with plenty of time to finish his dissertation on the physics of spaceflight

nor should they, unless there is concrete evidence
I'm just referencing people discussing patterns of behavior.

You're literally wrong. He is represented by Mike Howard of the Howard Firm out of Dallas.
He did declare indigent when incarcerated likely to petition for lower bail, but he is not represented by a public defender.
He is paying for counsel and public defender doesnt mean incompetent. The defense is doing frick all for a lot of money.

which is fricking stupid. You stab someone to death, you spend your life in prison.
Austin gets to sleep in the dirt for eternity and Karmelo gets released on good time in what, 10-15 years before he's 30?

No. He has a legal team. That is fake news.
Are you saying that on June 25th, 2025 Karmelo did not file a TFDA Indigent Packet - Attorney Appointment Eligible??

He could technically get life for this crime (with the possibility of parole, however)
