The witness that got obliterated by prosecutors is apparently Lacey, the RB that just committed to LSU. It’s not said, but that’s clearly who it is.
Need to tell this kids to frick off now.

I don't think she's the first to report that LSU tidbit. The kid said it on the stand and multiple reports live tweeting picked up on it.

What did he do wrong? He's just a witness to a crime at a school event.

I'll be clear here, I am not 100% sure which witness he is.
However, IF he is the one that got up there, told a completely different story than reality, and then got actually impeached by prosecutors with the video...its not a good look

i think he's just saying that he didnt set out from home that day with the intent to commit murder.
Every single time a white police officer shoots a black suspect, the plaintiff's attorney starts his opening statement with "Officer ABC woke up that morning and went to work wanting to kill someone." Drives me nuts because it is such a ludicrous statement in that case and in this case.
No one besides a sociopath (Brian Kohberger) wakes up planning to kill someone. I don't think he planned to kill anyone at the track meet. But he sure as hell brought that knife and hung around that tent wanting to start some shite. He wanted to do hood rat things and guess what? He did.

If you’re bringing a knife to a school event where weapons are prohibited, you’re looking for trouble..
I disagree with this. I bring my pocket knife everywhere, and even forget that I may be going somewhere that they're prohibited. Hell I had to turn around at the courthouse the other day because I made it to the metal detector and remembered it was in my pocket. Went back to my truck and put it away. Karmelo murdered Austin, and there's probably enough evidence that he premeditated stabbing him to death based on reaching into his bag and continuing to instigate. I don't think that means he left the house planning to murder someone or that carrying a weapon means you're up to no good. That kind of logic is what gets everyone's rights taken away.

the mens rea for premeditated murder can be formed in an instant
Ever since I started watching trials... this has been crazy for me to learn
Premeditation isn't leaving the house wanting to kill someone... it can be...
1) feel disrespected
2) say "I'm gonna kill that MF"
3) person ends up dead 5 seconds later
That's all it takes to get premeditation

I think Aaron McGruder of The Boondocks had a term for that kind of moment.

He murdered Austin. I firmly believe that.
I think it’s pretty wild though, and would be nearly impossible to convince a jury, that a kid with no arrest record and a 3.7 gpa went to a track meet in the rain at 10:30am to hunt a victim to kill in front of hundreds of people.
Call me crazy.
I don't think Anthony is evil like Darrell Brooks.
I think he was a gassed up kid trying to prove how "tough" he was out of some misguided ideal.
I don't know. Maybe his Dad best his arse that morning and called him a soft bitch after breakfast.
He did it. He deserves to be punished. The metcalfs deserve that but he's not a career criminal and is unlikely to reoffend.

wait what, are you aware of "hood rat" culture? Many of the hood rats you mention in your post do exactly that every single day, they openly talk about it and rap about it
it's part of their lifestyle. there is a reason for the murder rates in their community
Also, the reason he may have woke up that day wanting to murder Austin is the reports about them having some sort of beef prior to this incident. I'm not read up on it, but I do remember seeing accounts of that previously. Not sure if there has been testimony or evidence during the trial about that yet though

Dude brought a knife to a place he knew weapons are prohibited, instigated trouble and murdered someone. I bet you didn’t do that when you accidentally brought your pocket knife somewhere you shouldn’t have.
This has nothing to do with taking away people rights lol it’s already been established kid didn’t break any laws bringing the knife.

Most of the talking points that people are screaming at each other over on twitter have been completely manufactured.
But not all.
The possibility of stuff being taken is another reason why many schools take staying out of others areas seriously and leaving when asked. Also, it is why several “leaders” are picked to try to have someone at or nearby as much as possible. They also can’t really just flip the switch only around certain schools, so they do it for all track events.

Ok, you have no idea what you’re talking about.
It’s been widely settled at this point through reporting on hours of testimony that they did not know each other nor met each other prior to the killing.
This thread has been the most clear, and level headed, conversation that I’ve found online about this trial. You seem like you’re more cut out for twitter and Facebook comment sections where you can find anyone who will tell you what you want to believe about this case.

I get that, but the attorneys have proven pretty clearly through text messages that Karmelo and a kid on the Memorial track team were friends. That, coupled with the fact that it was raining and most of the memorial team was under the tent because of the weather, makes it pretty unlikely that he was there trying to steal things under a crowded tent because of “hood rat culture.”

shite’s going to get real if he testifies.
I don’t see any plus side to this and a lot of potential downsides.
Edit- Thought I read “witness box” and not “jury box.”
