@RJavers15617@DMclurch@user902727362@ButterflyLife20@b1ackfamilyPAC Then what do people mean when they say he had no right to be there? Again nobody cares about feelings what matters is what the laws dictate.
Again he didn’t die bc Karmelo sat under the tent, he died bc he assaulted Karmelo. Not bc he called him out but bc he ASSAULTED him…
@RJavers15617@DMclurch@user902727362@ButterflyLife20@b1ackfamilyPAC If he has no legal requirement to leave then he is there legally. Again I don’t care about your feelings and neither does a court, but what’s being argued is law/legality. Being under the tent isn’t what got Austin killed, putting his hands on someone else is.
@ScottMoskowitz@earthsemerald@DawnWhiteNews@CBSNewsTexas Read the penal code, doubt it’s applicable being the person who’d have to tell Anthony to leave would probably have to be someone with actual authority over the area, which Austin did not have. But it’ll be up to the jury to decide that.
@DMclurch@user902727362@RJavers15617@ButterflyLife20@b1ackfamilyPAC Nowhere in that post of his testimony did it say Eddie asked him to leave, again 0 legal requirement for him to leave, his testimony didn’t address the question of Eddie calling him over as far as I can tell, and he went and dapped up a person he knew, doesn’t change much tbh.
@DMclurch@user902727362@RJavers15617@ButterflyLife20@b1ackfamilyPAC No. yours is from a prosecution witness, mine is from a defense witness, the defense called their witnesses after the prosecution rested their case. If you’re talking about cross examination then by all means find the cross examination transcript that contradicts this testimony.
NEW Karmelo Anthony defense witness TESTIMONY PROVES SELF-DEFENSE!
Defense: "It was raining hard enough for people to be under tents?"
Witness: "Yes."
Defense: "Eddie called Karmelo over to the tent?"
Witness: "Yes, sir."
Defense: "The interaction between Eddie and Melo was friendly?"
Witness: "Yes, sir."
Defense: "After Eddie called him over, Melo sat down?"
Witness: "Yes."
Defense: "For about five minutes? Friendly talk? No one expressed a problem with Melo being there?"
Witness: "No."
Defense: "Do you recall the first person to say to Melo, 'Who are you?'"
Witness: "Hunter Melcalf."
Defense: "Hunter is a big guy?"
Witness: "You could say."
Defense: "At the time of the event, Austin was a little bigger?"
Witness: "I'd say substantially bigger."
Defense: "So Hunter tells Melo to leave?"
Witness: "Yes."
Defense: "Melo said, 'No one has a problem with me being here besides you?'"
Witness: "Yes."
Defense: "If you put Melo and Austin next to each other, Melo is smaller?"
Witness: "Yes."
Defense: "Hunter started with a moderate tone, and it got more aggressive?"
Witness: "Yes, sir."
Defense: "Do you remember telling the detective, 'You need to move before I beat your a--'?"
Witness: "I don't recall saying that."
The defense approaches the witness with papers. The witness agrees that Austin said something like that, or something similar, about wanting to beat his a--.
Defense: "Austin is standing up. Melo is still seated?"
Witness: "Yes."
Defense: "That's when Melo reached into his bag, after Austin mentioned something about wanting to beat his a-?"
Witness: "Yes."
Defense: "Austin calls his bluff and says, 'I know you don't have anything in that bag'?"
Witness: "Yes."
Defense: "For Austin to make his way to Melo, he has to move up five rows?"
Witness: "Yes."
Defense: "Austin takes a step or two, and then they talk, and that continues?"
Witness: "Yes."
Defense: "All this time, as Austin is moving closer to Melo, Melo is seated with his hand in the bag, like 'don't come closer to me'?"
Witness: "Yes, sir."
Defense: "Melo says, 'As long as you don't touch me, we're cool,' or, 'Don't touch me'?"
Witness: "Yes."
Defense: "You told the detective Austin reached up and tapped Karmelo on the shoulder? Melo is still seated?"
Witness: "Yes."
Defense: "There's a touch, and then there's a grab?"
Witness: "Yes."
Defense: "He [Austin] grabbed with both hands?"
Witness: "Both of his hands were in motion."
Defense: "Austin is reaching for Melo, and at that point, Melo's hand comes out of the bag?"
Witness: "Yes."
@user902727362@RJavers15617@mikewallkisser@ButterflyLife20@DMclurch@b1ackfamilyPAC Depends on intent and circumstances as well as how the jurisdiction classifies/ defines specific crimes. If you want a black and white answer to such a vague question you’re just as simple minded as the other guy in the replies… I prefer being precise and nuanced.
@RJavers15617@user902727362@mikewallkisser@ButterflyLife20@DMclurch@b1ackfamilyPAC Intent to kill, not intent to harm.
Intent to kill = murder
Intent to harm but results in death =
homicide
If I stab you in the leg and you bleed out on the way to the hospital did I mean to kill you? If I stab randomly and it by chance hits a vital organ did I mean to kill?
@RJavers15617@user902727362@mikewallkisser@ButterflyLife20@DMclurch@b1ackfamilyPAC It’s a legal term with a clearly outlined definition. Murder requires the intent to kill which has to be proven, homicide is when the killing lacks the intent to kill.
Stop speaking on things you know nothing of. You sound like a child and I’ll begin treating you as such…
@user902727362@RJavers15617@mikewallkisser@ButterflyLife20@DMclurch@b1ackfamilyPAC No it’s not, I see a possibility it can be ruled homicide, murder would be hard to prove but I could see homicide, we’ve just not seen or heard all the evidence or testimony and losers like yourself are harping on points that aren’t even accurate or relevant.
