He can’t claim self defense at this point
That's his entire defense. And with no witnesses to back that up, he pretty much has to take the stand to assert that he feared for his life. I wish it would be televised because he's going to get shredded on cross.

Lots of local media taking heads framing the narrative that the circumstances are leaning towards a self-defense acquittal. Pretty obvious they are setting people up for outrage so media can bask in the glow of the subsequent race riots.
You just can’t hate the media enough.

Once he is found guilty, which he absolutely should, it’s going to hit the fan and we will have a summer of love part 2. It’s pitiful how many stupid people that we have in this country that lack critical thinking skills and are so easily influenced.

Prosecution rested their case. Defense asked for a directed verdict which would have been grounds for a mistrial with a guilty of murder verdict, so the judge denied the request.
Defense called first witness, Centennial’s coach I believe they said. Defense asked him if he’d ask non school students to leave their tent area and he said no.
On cross examination he stated they now have a policy restricting their students to their area. Not a good decision to call him IMO by the defense.

What good witnesses could the defense call?
They aren’t putting Karmelo on the stand and I’m curious who they could put out there to support their case.

Or video contradicting the previous video plus witness testimony.
I don’t think you can bring a psychiatrist in describing his state of mind, that would open up I think prosecution getting an independent evaluation.
Absent him taking the stand which I can’t see happening I have no idea what they’re going to do.

I thought blacks were supposed to be "cool". How are you supposed to be cool when you have an inferiority complex to whites? You don't see this complex with Irish Americans and some could argue that they were treated just as shtty by America.

So, that’s his policy, maybe the Memorial coach says different. This really has nothing to do with the fact that the POS used a knife to kill someone in a non-life threatening situation.

Why in the world would a fun loving high school kid with no intention to harm go to a high school track meet with a knife in his backpack?

Why was he even at the track meet considering he was suspended from school, which in turn suspends him from school activities like track?

Jealousy is such a useless emotion. If they have an inferiority complex, then they should embrace the things that make whites excel.
Stop complaining, stop making excuses, stop being angry and hateful.

I doubt the kid came there to murder anyone, but my best guess is he is a functional moron with zero impulse control, who when called out for being in the wrong place, felt disrespected in the stupidest of senses. He likely decided that he wasn’t going to accept having to back down, so he escalated a situation to the point of murder. He can’t claim stand your ground as he was the one in the wrong place. He can’t claim self defense at this point; he has no witnesses to corroborate it and contradict the multiple testimonies from the prosecution, and his attorneys would be fools to let him anywhere near the stand. His defense team ought to have him IQ tested. He may literally be too dumb to stand trial. That seems like his only hope.
This is the best comprehensive description of all. I don’t know why you seem to think this is a gotcha for me when it is exactly what I believe.

From the transcript the coaches statements on cross examination
Centennial now has a policy that students need to stay under their own tent.
He admitted that if a student was asked to leave a tent, he would expect them to do so.
"Is there any reason why someone should have a knife at a track meet?" prosecutors asked him.
"No, sir," the coach replied.
1st teen called (was not present)
He said sometimes, during downtime, people find their friends. He testified that he'd spent time under other teams' tents. He also said he's been under the Memorial tent. He's never had a problem.
Prosecutors asked him during cross-examination if he would leave when another team asked him to. He said he would and admitted there was no reason to carry a knife to a track meet.
2nd teen called - The defense called a 17-year-old Memorial High School student to the stand. He said he did not want to be there and had only met with the defense lawyers for about two minutes. He was also interviewed by a detective after the stabbing. In that interview, he told police that his teammate, Eddie Parra, had called Anthony over to the tent. He said he saw them shake hands. Anthony sat down, and then the two talked.
The teen said it was Metcalf's brother, Hunter, who first called attention to Anthony. That's different than what other witnesses have stated.
It should be noted Eddie Para referenced there was a witness for the prosecution per the recap and tells a very different story. He stated when asked at one point who was in the wrong “Karmelo”

I never once saw a different school's athlete sitting under another team's tent, regardless of how close some of the tents were to each other. At some of the meets, the parents and athletes were on the same side of the stadium, and both parents and athletes were under the tents. Once again, no one ever sat under some other team's tents. I hope the jurors understand track culture/etiquette. I wouldn't have known if I didn't start going to the meets this year.

Austin’s coach testified as to track tent etiquette on the first day of trial IIRC.

I've got quite a few black friends, and one mixed race (he likes to laugh and call himself a swirl, he's an incredible human being) ... none of them feel inferior. None of them are awkward in our circle.
To a man they will tell you that they do not want to live in predominantly black inner city neighborhoods.
And therein lies the problem imho.
Cities.
Cities are breeding grounds, petri dishes, for cultivating cancerous minds. And they're metastatic in nature.

It’s not meant as a gotcha to you. Sorry you feel that way, my man. It was just meant to show that the prosecutors tried to establish a pretty sound case for premeditation.
