Adam van Koeverden - “we have to stick to the facts here Mister Speaker, Canada’s economy is growing”
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
George Orwell, 1984
I’m going to be honest: the defense was abysmal.
The few witnesses called to the stand today either could not remember key details or simply did not see what actually happened. Their testimony was thoroughly challenged during cross-examination by Bill Wirsky. The defense presented no additional evidence beyond witnesses who were unable to confirm the long-standing claim that Karmelo Anthony was “attacked” - a claim that has circulated since the beginning of this case.
There were also persistent rumors that the Metcalf brothers were “bullies.” No evidence was presented to support those claims. In fact, the testimony painted a very different picture. More than 20 witnesses called by the prosecution consistently described Austin and Hunter as leaders, role models, “their brothers”.
Closing arguments are tomorrow morning. After that, the jury will begin deliberations. Judge Roach has informed the jurors that they will be sequestered during deliberations. If they do not reach a verdict by the end of the day, they will be housed in a hotel and isolated from outside communication until deliberations are complete.
I do not foresee this jury taking more than a day to reach a verdict.
During jury selection, the prospective jurors were educated on several important aspects of Texas law regarding self-defense.
First, murder under Texas law involves intentionally or knowingly causing the death of another person. Contrary to what many people believe, Texas law does not require the state to prove premeditation in order to secure a murder conviction.
Jurors were also told that words alone do not justify the use of deadly force. Additionally, a person cannot provoke a confrontation, escalate it, and then successfully claim self-defense after using deadly force.
I will be posting a full video later today with a detailed account of everything that occurred inside the courtroom.
please stop being mean to this guy. if bro tries to do a 41% cannonball off that bridge the resulting splash could cause a catastrophic flood that displaces millions

I see David Lammy is doing a few damage limitation interviews in the wake of Henry Nowak’s murder.
Just for fun, one of the interviewers should ask him a general knowledge question.
Liberals should lose their voting rights when they move to a more conservative place for its better life. They’re too stupid to be trusted with any decision making.
@spectator The exact same thing happened to me when I went to Africa. I expected to see pygmies dancing around a boiling cauldron with Elmer J. Fudd in it. I was very disappointed.
