Sheesh, article at that site states evidence was not allowed which showed Metcalf was racist and violent. That is why the defense is seeking new trial apparently claiming that is relevant to the defense.

The defense are attempting to paint Metcalf as the aggressor in the fight- further victimized his family (metcalf’s) by sullying his name after his death. Glad the judge didn’t allow another trial but the karmello lawyers will likely shop judges till they get one that does allow it. Meanwhile the $270,000 is apparently just for the lawyers e xpenses according to the article, but somehow I think some. Will make it. Into hands of karmellos.
