Karmelo will likely serve have that time. He has the opportunity to grow, learn, get a higher education, come out of the other side a better man. He will build a family and a life for himself. Thatโs what the justice system gave him and so thatโs what he deserves. I hope he does
Person he dreams of being and honor Austin in that because Austin never gets another chance to try anything ever again. To hug, to love, to smile, to accomplish anything. Karmelo does. I pray he does it right. This will define him for life but he still has the resources to come
@jdmiles11 Idk how to feel about the โon leavingโ part, the whole issue is that they wanted him to leave, he refused to do so, stabbed someone and then he was perfectly fine withโฆleaving ๐ฃ
BREAKING: MANSLAUGHTER is now on the table with Karmelo Anthony. The lawyers and judge in this case have agreed to include it in the charging document that jurors will consider today after closing arguments.
Manslaughter is a lesser charge than what he's charged with, MURDER. Manslaughter is when a person acts recklessly and takes an unjustifiable risk but did not INTEND to kill.
A murder charge carries 5-99 years in prison.
Manslaughter carries 2-20 years in prison.

Defense in Karmelo Anthony trial objecting to jury charge before closing arguments began. They are citing "provoking the difficulty" instruction under the penal code. This is related to the self defense argument and provocation.
