Sounds like Howard is going all in on self-defense, which is probably Anthony's decision.

They had the right to kill him if he wouldn’t leave their tent?
Sounds like total bullshite

What a spot to be in, because they clearly knew they couldn’t put him in the stand.
It’s incredibly difficult to put in a persuasive self defense argument without the person making the claim testifying—because only their perception of the situation matters

Sounds like there was a specific reason the prosecution let the defense make their statement first.
If they choose, they can pick apart this stupidity in their statement.

State
Defense
State rebuttal
State always gets the last word. Did the State waive their initial closing?

I thought defense always had the last word
ETA: nvm had that wrong. Not sure why I thought that.

Probably misquoted there. Maybe meant "but they did not have the right to use deadly force to make him leave."
Making it seem like for all Karmelo knew was that they would try to use deadly force when he turned his back to leave? Or that a push was deadly force.
I don't know, it's bs regardless.

We heard a lot of differing accounts from the kids who were under that tent, i know its obvious but let me just say it, every single one was a Memorial kid, we should be on guard for having a bias because of course they would, Austin was their leader”
“So we heard a very jumbled account of what really happened in that tent”
“It was a shove, it was a hit, it was a lineman drill”
On Anthony leaving the scene,
“Not exactly escaping like the guilty do, Melo had every opportunity to go right out that exit”
“We heard about Melo’s emotions, every single person who saw him down on that track said he was crying”
“What did he say? Melo said, ‘he’s not gonna die’, it’s clear he thought he stabbed him a place that he was not going to die”
Austin reportedly said to Karmelo according to a witness
“If you don’t move i’ll beat your arse”
‘As much as we may not like it, even a 17yo kid can legally have a 5 and ½ knife, even in a high school stadium, yes it’s a violation of policy but it is not a crime”
“Texas law doesn’t not require that you wait until you get hit”
“So ask yourself, has the government ruled out reasonable doubt when you put yourself in Melo shoes under that tent?”
Defense out here just saying shite now

He will get manslaughter. Very little chance you get a first degree murder conviction over this. You would have needed the guy to stab him multiple times to get that and show intent to kill him.
I know right? Generally when I shoot someone it's not my intent to kill him. If I want to kill him I'd shoot him multiple times.
fricking moron.

Gotcha. Yea they know they won. Sometimes beating the dead horse ends up turning off the jury. Best to let them go, tear up their points, and be done with it.

Negative. The prosecution gets to rebut, both during the case in chief and in closing.

Ok and what about the witnesses that are lying and defending karmelo?
This attorney is just making shite up now and hoping it sticks. It’s only move at this point.

Pretty sure the prosecutor tore them up on cross.
Posted on 6/9/26 at 10:17 am to Indefatigable
Yeah they did but this guy acting like there isn’t any bias on karmelos behalf is comical. He’s gonna have to find a new line of work after this.
Posted on 6/9/26 at 10:18 am to HarryHoudini
He’s just doing his job. I’ve read he’s a pretty respected attorney in Texas.
