Let me be clear about what just happened in the Karmelo Anthony verdict. Because the celebration is traveling and the discrepancies aren't.
FACT: Karmelo Anthony was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 35 years.
FACT: The jury deliberated for less than 3 hours.
FACT: There were zero Black jurors on this jury.
FACT: The prosecution used peremptory strikes to remove 100% of eligible Black jurors while keeping a white educator after claiming they didn't want educators on the jury.
FACT: Karmelo Anthony never stood up. The confrontation happened while he was seated. Austin Metcalf was standing over him.
FACT: The jury had the option to choose manslaughter. They chose murder.
FACT: The "sudden passion" defense which would have capped the sentence at 2 to 20 years was rejected.
FACT: Karmelo Anthony's mother was the only witness called during the punishment phase. She asked for mercy. The prosecutor responded: "Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent."
FACT: Karmelo Anthony will be eligible for parole after serving half his sentence, roughly 17.5 years. He is 19 years old.
Now ask yourself, if the races and sizes were reversed, if Karmelo was 6'1" standing over a seated smaller white teenager who reached up with a knife, does this even go to trial?
You already know the answer.
Say his name. Karmelo Anthony.
Stay Dangerous.
๐จ HATE CRIME? Racist White man with AR-15 and body armor OPENS FIRE on Black family Reunion gathering after shouting slurs
In Leesburg, Lee County, Georgia, on Sunday, a family was having a gathering when Jeffrey Tyler Kinzer leaned out of a car and started hurling racial slurs at them.
Minutes later he returned on foot wearing body armor and carrying an AR-15-style rifle, then opened fire on the group.
The family says it was a clear racially motivated attack.
Kinzer was shot by a 62 year old Marine veteran who stated he wanted to protect roughly 20 children at the gathering.
Sheriffโs Office says it started as a verbal altercation, but witnesses confirm the racial slurs. More charges are expected.
Another white man geared up like he was going to war against a Black family.
