Since everyone is talking about the Karmelo and Austin Metcalf case. On May 3, 2022, at Belton High School in TEXAS, a fight broke out in a school bathroom between Caysen Allison (white) and Jose “Joe” Luis Ramirez Jr. (Hispanic). Ramirez and Allison had reportedly been feuding after an earlier dispute. During the fight, Allison stabbed Ramirez multiple times with a knife. Ramirez later died from his injuries. Allison admitted to the stabbing but claimed he acted in self-defense. The jury: Found Allison NOT GUILTY of murder Found him GUILTY of criminally negligent homicide, a lesser offense. Why the Lesser Verdict? At trial: The defense argued Allison was being attacked and feared for his safety. Evidence included video and testimony that Ramirez threw punches first and that Allison claimed he was outnumbered by Ramirez and his friends. The jury rejected the murder charge but concluded Allison’s actions were criminally negligent. What Caysen did the Hispanic kid was way worst than Austin and it didn’t get the same media attention.
