As both a Frisco resident and Attorney:
If you are surprised by the Karmelo Anthony verdict or confused by it, please revisit the news sources you trust and consume.
We are often misled and tricked by the media. It feels like it has become part of their job to rile us up. To create emotional response. To divide us by political association, race, gender, orientation, etc. because it turns into clicks and more consumption of their content.
Look past these sources if they speak more about how you should feel about the “news” and not present the “news” as facts of what happened. Find the facts yourself by looking at multiple sources. Listen to the testimony and review the evidence. Make your own objective conclusions.
For example, the facts (in response to common misinformation) include:
1) The jury included numerous minorities, including Asian, Hispanic, and Middle-Eastern people;
2) Anthony’s attorney was a private, hired lawyer, not a public defender;
3) It was and is an unwritten rule that you are only permitted under a team tent if you are part of the team/school;
4) Anthony was not part of the team/school yet went and sat in the tent anyway;
5) Eyewitnesses, including black eyewitnesses, testified Anthony was told to leave the tent multiple times and he verbally refused;
6) Multiple eyewitnesses, including black eyewitnesses, testified that Karmelo was never surrounded/ganged up/jumped in that tent;
7) Multiple eyewitnesses, including black eyewitnesses, testified Anthony put his hand inside his backpack as though he was planning to retrieve a weapon during the verbal altercation;
8) The eyewitnesses, including black eyewitnesses, in the tent testified they jokingly said that they didn’t believe he had anything in the bag because he was in Frisco, Texas;
9) Eyewitnesses said AM told Anthony to leave or he would kick his a**;
10) Eyewitnesses testified that during the verbal exchange, Anthony said “touch me and find out.”
11) Eyewitnesses testified AM went over and pushed him to make him leave the tent.
12) Eyewitnesses testified AM did not punch Anthony or make any attempt to cause serious injury to him;
13) Anthony immediately pulled his knife and stabbed AM in the chest;
14) Anthony then threw the weapon into the stands and ran;
15) Anthony admitted the stabbing to the police;
16) Even the defense’s witnesses said Anthony was in the wrong.
You are free to make your own opinions about the case. But before jumping to conclusions, at least know the facts.

PSA:
Texas is not part of The South
We are allied with Southern states in many areas but we have a distinct identity, though we do share a few traditions
We are Texan

All the jokes aside Americans are actually some of the friendliest and most welcoming folks I have ever met. Been to Miami, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles & Chicago now and everywhere I met amazing people. 100x friendlier than the grumpy Germans at home 🫶🏼
OK, since I made these videos on social media, lots of people are coming back to me saying that I was right and that their ballot signatures were rejected or their votes were not counted or received! Everyone please keep sharing the post with the information! We are going up against the entire Skid Row homeless population! We have to make sure all our ballots for Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt are counted!!! SHARE WITH ALL UR LA FREINDS
Spencer Pratt CAN request a ballot recount.
Here are the steps:
Candidate/Voter-Requested Recounts: Under California Elections Code §§ 15620–15634, any registered voter (including a candidate) can file a written request for a recount of votes for any candidate, slate of electors, or measure. This serves as the main mechanism for a candidate to seek a more thorough review.
• Timing (Local/County Races like most LA contests): Must be filed within 5 days after the official canvass is completed (when the elections official signs the certified results). For multi-county or statewide races, there is a separate window (within 5 days starting on the 31st day after Election Day).
• Format: Written request to the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk (RR/CC). It must specify the contest, on whose behalf (e.g., the candidate), and optionally the method (manual, machine, or both) and order of precincts.
