Jason Whitlock: Plea deals are offered when prosecution believes it will stop civil unrest

No way. I was told that it was Metcalf supporters that are the violent ones.

They'll find another fake outrage to riot about tomorrow anyway, so let them try rioting in Frisco. I'd really like to see how that plays out.

There should be no plea deal. Let the jury work and let the murderer receive the maximum allowable.

Any plea deal that will shorten his sentence will likely embolden more thugs to react knowing they can lean on civil unrest to lighten their sentence. And there were paid influencers all over social media flaming the lie that the murderer was the victim and falsely claiming their was video backing it up.

The Michael Brown urban myth 2.0. Hands up don't shoot was never uttered by Michael Brown. Karmelo was no victim.

Plea deals are not offered when…case…slam dunk.

Yes they are and that may very well happen tomorrow morning. The prosecutor has most assuredly put on sufficient unrebutted evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that Anthony murdered the other boy. The defense put on no case whatsoever that indicates there was evidence of self defense to justify this homicide. The story with all the heinous and gory details are now part of the public record. They should work out a plea deal to 2nd degree murder and let the judge decide to put him away for as long as that judge deems necessary given his youth, no prior record, future danger to society,and remorse. If it goes to the jury and they convict him of 1st degree murder, that judge will feel compelled to put him away for the max or close to it.
