wow. There’s a lot to take in with this post.
taking the life of another 17-year old boy because he told you to get lost and shoved you, is a bit more than a “mistake”. fairly gross you would even describe it that way.
Secondly, how about both? Neither deserve to be walking around free in a lawful, peaceful, civil society. Soft-hearted and feminine jurors and female judges, with your line of thinking, is why we now live in a low-trust society.
again, just wow.
He just had a bad day guys, we shouldn’t lock him up for the rest of his life. Explain that to the family who lost their son.
I would assume we “differ” on quite a bit after having read this post.

No. A retard would think this would not be asserted on appeal of his conviction.

I’m thinking the defense realized they needed to stop digging the hole deeper by calling more witnesses. Short of someone producing evidence that Austin Metcalf was armed, continuing to call witnesses that reinforce your client is a POS murdering a-hole is asinine.

Not that I think they had much hope, but the idea is to call witnesses that can legitimately cast reasonable doubt on the charges. It doesn't say much if they only 5 they considered qualified to do that and those were called in to question rather easily by the prosecution. I guess everyone is entitled to a defense even if there's not much of one to mount.
As for "he's such a good kid", I always like to add "right up to the point he stabbed another kid in the chest and killed them."

It would have less merit than the self defense angle at trial.

The great legal mind, Charleston White, told ‘em it’s a slam dunk self defense case!

Austin Metcalf's father should be allowed 5 mins locked in a room with the POS Anthony.

Yea but I bet the victim impact statements will be downright brutal.

Based on how he acted immediately after this incident, he'd spend all 5 minutes trying to kiss him on the mouth.

bingo. embarrassing.
I hope he lives to regret how cowardly he acted. I can’t imagine it sits well with Austin’s brother long term.

No he tends to stab people to death when under pressure

I wonder if you'd feel like having the same leniency if someone "had a bad day" and murdered one of your kids, wife or family member? Taking a weapon to school, provoking someone unarmed and then killing them isn't a mistake, it's intentional.

I'd have to seek mental help from the obsession I would have from thinking of ways to eliminate his entire fricking bloodline. Especially after they profited a half a mil off of my son's senseless murder.

I don't make the "mistake" of "having a bad day" and grabbing a knife and taunting someone to touch me so I have pretext to stab them in the chest.
This kid deserves to be dead or rot in prison for the rest of his life

My statement said nothing about the merits of the claim (or lack thereof).

Well said. The prosecution would feast on lack of self-control and direct him where they wanted pretty easily.

They also may switch from Anthony having a fear for his life to sudden passion from adequate cause to get murder as a 2nd degree felony which can be sentenced from 2 to 22 years instead of 5 to 99 years. The defense just has to be prove it’s case by a preponderance of the evidence during the punishment phase of the trial to have conviction become a 2nd degree felony.
