Want to follow the Karmelo Anthony case and their “advocates” involvement from the beginning?
Follow this thread. I put it all in a convenient list of events for you.
@9ine_rackzz@reesetheone1 😂😂😂holy shit you’re stupid. Read the comment again, dipshit. It looks like you’re going to need three or four readings before it sinks in. 😂😂😂
@9ine_rackzz@reesetheone1 😂😂😂😂. Two things: work on your reading comprehension and calm down, Sis. You are seriously getting ready to blow a gasket. 😂😂😂
Just an FYI - Not a single level headed, logical person is worried about an appeal. I have zero concern.
Many of the same people who spent the last year insisting that Karmelo Anthony acted in self-defense are now placing all of their hope in an appeal. The problem is that appeals are not second trials.
An appellate court does not decide whether it agrees with the jury. It does not re-weigh the evidence. It does not revisit every witness and ask who it believes more. Its job is to determine whether a significant legal error occurred during the trial.
The jury heard the self-defense argument. The defense was allowed to present witnesses. The evidence was presented. The jury deliberated and returned a guilty verdict.
Unless appellate counsel can identify a specific legal error that materially affected the outcome of the trial, the conviction stands.
That is why most criminal appeals fail.
What will likely happen next is what we’ve already watched happen for over a year. If the conviction is upheld, many of the same activists who insisted the evidence was on their side will claim the appeal was “rigged,” the courts were “corrupt,” the judge was biased, the “wrong video footage was shown”, the jury was racist, and the entire system was a setup.
(BTW, the ONLY video footage was shown in the courtroom on day ONE. And it only helped the prosecution, not the defense).
At some point, people have to accept reality. Every unfavorable outcome cannot be explained away as a conspiracy.
A jury heard the evidence. A verdict was reached. An appeal will review the law… not rewrite the facts. If the conviction is affirmed, it won’t be because of a setup. It will be because the appellate court found no reversible error in the trial proceedings.
@9ine_rackzz@reesetheone1 😂 I’m amused at how weak minded you have to be to let a dead guy bother you this much. Seriously, go see your primary care. 😂😂
