A lot of irrational motherfrickers are out there claiming self defense and/or that the state didn’t prove their case.

I've even seen some claims of a "secret tape" proving the false narrative that Anthony was jumped.

Someone posted a video the other day and there was a black guy saying he was in the courtroom and it clearly showed 4 guys jumping him before he stabbed Metcalf in self defense and fled.
Every other report about the video is it's blurry but clearly shows a one on one encounter. That escalated very quickly.
They're just making shite up at this point.

His new home for his life without parole maybe.
Most people in OT have reading comprehension deficits.
I stated that the Metcalf kid should have gotten assistance from an adult because 17 y.o. boys aren't going to listen to other 17 y.o. boys.

At this point? They have constantly been making shite up to justify their position that the Dindu Nuffin was justified.

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.
Obviously not exactly the same, but I'd compare this to the Ahmaud Arbery case. The person who introduces lethal force to a totally non-lethal or even violent situation will get punished harshly more often than not.
Anthony's only hope is that he gets sympathy votes from the jury, which is certainly possible.

Pre-trial there was at least a possibility it happened the way they claimed. Now that the evidence has been seen and reported on there's no doubt.

Wirskye then began to explain the jury charge.
"We have alleged two ways to commit murder," Wirskye said. "You don't have to agree on which method: intentional or clearly dangerous act, as long as the state has proven it, and it's unanimous."
When speaking about the lesser included offense, Wirskye said, "You don't even reach manslaughter unless all of you acquit him of murder."
"If you think Austin impaled himself on Karmelo's knife, I don't know what to tell you," Wirskye said. "Find him guilty of manslaughter."
Wirskye then explained four reasons why the defense's self-defense theory does not apply: provocation, force disparity, reasonable belief, and immediate necessity. He explained that "you don't get to provoke someone," and that "you can't meet force (a shove) with deadly force (with a stab)."
He also argued that Karmelo had no reason to believe that he was in danger, saying, "I submit to you any prudent person would not have plunged a knife into Austin's chest."
Wirskye again reminded the jury that Karmelo had a "secret knife" on the day of the stabbing, and said that Austin had no defensive wounds because he "never saw it coming."
He told the jury that Karmelo had a "guilty mindset" because of the way in which he fled after the stabbing.

It’s going to be 2. Manslaughter. 5 years in prison with chance of parole.
There wasn’t any clear videos of it and a pretty murky witness account of everything happened really fast and it was kind of a shove/push/grab thing after some words.
Parents can probably do another civil suit for other things after this. Just my opinion.

The prosecutor pointing out that manslaughter isn’t on the table unless murder reached an acquittal (unanimous not guilty) makes this harder to pull off.

When are you going to stop justifying behavior as if you're somehow being rational. There are plenty of respectful 17 year olds that would have no issue, in fact , IF their parents taught them how to behave in society they wouldn't even put themselves in that damn position in the first place.

It's gone to the jury and they are now in deliberations. I expect they'll wrap this up in an hour and get out for lunch. They should, anyways.

This is an open and shut murder case in Texas. There's really not even a question, and the Defense barely put up a fight

What happens if all the jurors think he's guilty, but they can't agree on murder or manslaughter?

I'd bet there's at least one soft-hearted person on the jury that holds things up because of his demographics.

Especially not 17 year old entitled thug who triggers the encounter knowing the concealed advantage he would have in any confrontation he was able to instigate.

Hung jury, which means the judge tells them to work harder to reach a decision and may eventually declare a mistrial.
I don’t see the state letting this go if there is a mistrial due to the strength of the case, so there would be a new trial.
