It really seems like people were following two different trials.
The social media trial of sensationalized rumors and public opinion vs the actual facts.
Here are the lies from the social media court:
- He never had a knife. It was a cleat sharpener.
- He got jumped by multiple people.
- It was about race.
- The jury was completely white.
- He’s going to do 35 years.
Here are the facts from the actual case and trial:
- It was a knife (pictured below)
- He was never jumped based on reports from journalists who actually watched the video in court.
- No one testified that racial slurs were thrown around before, during and after the conflict. I was actually surprised that the defense attorney didn’t play the race card. Anthony was simply from the rival school. It was turned into a racial issue based o. The skin color of the two boys involved.
- Though the jury was mostly White, there were Hispanics and Middle Eastern and Indian jurors
- He will be eligible for parole in 17 years.

Will Howard on Cam Heywards podcast:
“Hey, I'm here, man. I don't know what Aaron's going to do. If he wants to come back, I'd be more than happy to, spend another year learning.
But if he doesn't I'm ready.”
Followed by QB1 chants from the crowd
