The defense’s called witness helping sink the self defense aspect tells things even better.

They're arguing it was self defense

Self defense = justified

Don't be irrational-emotional. It's almost assuredly not going to work, but there is no other defense they could argue

Will the defense attorney call Rachel Jeantel as a witness? They say she was on the phone with Mello when it happened.

I don’t know about appeal. He just needs to be removed from society.

If I recall, there were jurors on the George Floyd case who questioned Chauvin's guilt but stated they voted to convict because they were afraid for their own lives if they let him go

Is it possible that the Anthony PR campaign (they hired one with their donations) is trying to influence the jury by trying to flame up as much racial anger as possible?

The students testifying are pissed they’ve been put in this position and had to witness Metcalf’s death. Even the witness for the defense threw him under the bus. They want him convicted for what he’s put them through.

Was just a matter of time before a high profile case made such a claim.

When the NBPs show up in their uniforms you knew they meant business!

How is that different than the klan showing up in their uniforms?

How is this political, and why are there so many threads about race on the politics board?

Race is a "social issue" 99.-someting percent of the time, like this one, and race is only a "political issue" when we're talking about elections and voting blocs and demographics, or legislative activity and legislative demographics and legislative voting blocs.



Take a gander at this disingenuous sorry sack of shite of a human being. Find yourself a big pile of sand and pound it right up your arse idiot

That is one thing that I wish Louisiana would lift the court's veil on trials and cameras in the courtroom. They allow cameras for some appellate and supreme court cases. And at the Supreme Court level, they provide the feed.

They can do it the same way, and most local trials have security cameras in the court rooms anyway. Why not just add regular small PTZ cameras to a court room and let the court manage the view and distribute the feed to the media or on the District Court's YouTube Channel.

A majority of states allow cameras in the courtroom. If privacy is a concern, maybe just the audio feed of the proceedings could be distributed to the media.

Are these two BP guys supposed to be intimidating? They both look like they weigh about a buck 50 and they are part of a SNL skit.
