Why do you feel the need to justify this behavior? It's mind boggling


As a former proggy and feminist supporter, it is easy to decipher after reading her tirades.

quote:

I was that adolescent boy once upon a time.


She hates boys. You are also stupid and will be stupid until you are 27 (at least).

quote:

My parents taught me right and wrong and how to walk away from conflict


Feminists hate the idea of a secure, well rounded family with two parents in the home. This makes you "privileged" not proper.

quote:

I have a 20 year old step son who I've raised since he was 6.


Again, another male. She hates males, and 20 years old means he is just stupid and should not be a leader, especially if he is white.

quote:

Surprisingly even when things got heated on the court he and his team mates would walk away.


Again, this is a result of privilege. The culture she defends doesn't possess that, so anything they do in response to you, even if you walk away, is still your fault because you exist. They don't want you to exist.

I'm not a lawyer by any stretch, but wouldn't Anthony's best shot here be arguing intent to kill?

admit his intent was to hurt the guy, but not for the guy to die?


quote:

Under Texas law Murder is (in part) defined as when a person:

(1) intentionally or knowingly causes the death of an individual;

(2) intends to cause serious bodily injury and commits an act clearly dangerous to human life that causes the death of an individual;

The requisite intent was the intent to stab the victim. And it is implicit that stabbing someone with a knife in the chest/abdomen is done so with the intent to cause serious bodily injury. No, he probably did not intend to kill Metcalf. But it's very hard to argue he didn't intend to cause serious bodily harm...which ultimately caused the death of an individual.




appreciate the info, figured there was a reason not go that route.

Red Stick Tigress makes you wonder if the Muslims have it right when it comes to certain things.

tabbing wasn't the answer. Neither was how AM handled it. Don't frick with people's stuff and don't put your hands on anyone without their consent.

Wrong any way you look at it

So, reckless intent vs intentional. I can't/won't understand any juror who stands firm on reckless/manslaughter. I don't envy any of them, but my slip put in the hat would read murder without hesitation.

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.


Unless there’s another night of free HBO at the hotel they’re booked at.

That’s pretty straightforward. Touch me and find out is pretty damning. KA was ready and waiting for the opportunity to use the knife in his possession. Touch me and find out does not jive with “I didn’t intend to” because if you didn’t intend to, you wouldn’t be repeatedly daring AM to find out. The force it took to create the gaping wound doesn’t occur unless you’re cocked and ready.

From what the Law & Crime guy at the trial said... all TVs & phones are removed from the hotel rooms where the jurors are staying during the duration of their time being sequestered

Is there a time limit on how long they can deliberate today before they're told to continue tomorrow?

It’d be pretty easy for the defense to argue there was no intent that the guy doing the stabbing intended the person to die by only stabbing one time.


I thought this was the dumbest thing I had ever read on the OT. Then I read this:

quote:

If someone pushes you, and in response you stab them in the stomach one time. One, you are defending yourself. Two, it’d be hard to prove intent of murder. Intent of harmful bodily injury - yes. Bodily injury that results in loss of life, doubtful.

Yeah, they should demand all you can eat Hutchins BBQ + sides + cold beer tonight for dinner due to that action.

This has to be the post of the year. It's so comically wrong.

Metcalf was stabbed by Anthony in the fricking heart with a 5" knife. There really isn't much to speculate about Anthony's intent to take his life. He certainly had it. All the jury is to decide is if he acted in self-defense or if he didn't have the requisite intent for first degree murder, but did for other types of homicide.

Does anyone remember the Huntley Grichor trial in Houston a few years back ? I hope we don’t get a repeat of that.

There is no self claim to be made. If there was his defense would have called more than 5 witnesses. Touch me and find out while armed falls squarely under Texas statute for provocation. Provocation eliminates all claims to self defense.
