According to Karmelo Anthony’s parents, no one wins when it comes to the verdict on their son. And this is true. A man’s life was taken far too early, and that is something the victim’s family will have to live with forever. No amount of punishment, or in this case, a softball sentence, will bring justice for their son’s actions. And Anthony losing his trial is nothing more than a personal problem.
If they are upset their son’s actions cost him 35 years of his life, just imagine how they would feel if someone stabbed their son in the heart. Something tells me they would be demanding much more than what their kid got.
Per CBS:
During an interview for “CBS Mornings,” Anthony’s mother, Kala Hayes, said her son “didn’t mean to hurt anyone” and “was defending himself."
His actions are legally defined as murder. No one is buying that.
When asked what he would tell Metcalf’s family, Anthony’s father, Andrew Anthony, said, “It’s unfortunate, it’s where nobody wins.”
“We’ve all been hurt by this,” he said. “Everybody, everyone.”
The only people who are hurt by this are the victim and his family. All these people care about is themselves and their feelings. It truly is despicable.
On Wednesday, Anthony’s legal team filed a notice of appeal. Dallas-based appellate attorney David Coale told CBS News Texas that an appeal would focus on whether the trial was handled correctly, including how the jury was selected and whether Black jurors were improperly removed from the case.
“What stuck out to me, No. 1, was the all-White jury,” Andrew Anthony said. The family also alleged that witnesses lied on the stand and gave inconsistent statements.
The problem with this statement is that it is a lie. Three jurors were racial minorities, including Indian and Asian. So, when people claim this was an “all-White” jury, they are either naive and are too stupid to spout their opinion, or they are lying. Draw your own conclusions.
No one is buying sympathy cards from these people. Their son murdered an innocent young man, and that is the only reality they should be concerned about. This is not about them, or their son, or their feelings. They are not the victims. What don't they understand? It truly is a disgrace.
And p!ss on CBS for even giving these jerks any air time at all.
They’ll make all the rounds, ABC, CNN, NBC, PBS, NPR probably even FOX........
Times have changed. This kind of dog and pony show doesn’t get the traction it did 10 years ago.

Their kid’s alive. No George Floyd/Travon. They’ll have plenty of time and energy to speak out. Will the followers follow if none of theirs died? How many protesters outside the courtroom? This will die down until the next one.
I have black fatigue bigtime , and I don’t even live in the USA .
It’s like the fog in the UK. You just have to put up with it......
Meanwhile, this little monster is in isolation at a Texas prison in Navasota, TX. No human contact except for pissed off guards. His life is a sh*t storm now. The older inmates cant wait to get a shot at him.
I’m getting “fatigued”
What a racist that donor is.
He believes that everything would be different if there were black jurors?
Based on color, blacks would have let this POS, who went to a track meet with evil on his mind, get a free pass?
Is that what he really thinks of black people? That they only measure and judge by color?
The donor believes black is the only thing that qualifies as non-white?
That’s card carrying racism right there and it’s card carrying racism that’s the root cause of this evilness.
May they open their eyes and see the evilness of this thinking.
Always blaming Whitey for their failures.
Why not? It works for them.
They act like they are 8 years old.
The CHRISTIAN father of Austin has forgiven KA and the family. Yet the demons in them won’t let them soften their hearts.
Kyle Rittenhouse and George Zimmerman are still waiting for their invite to be guests.
The three potential black jurors all answered in the jury questionnaires that they did not think they could send another black to prison. That would give a hung jury. Retrial, anyone? If they vote to convict, they are pariahs (race traitors) in the black community.
As for the witnesses lying on the stand, it sounds like Mr. Anthony is saying that you simply cannot trust the testimony of black witnesses.
Finally, the Anthony family is looking at their grift ending or being considerably reduced. This is probably their biggest concern right now.
No shame. Just doubling down.
There are way more black racists than white these days for sure . I’m pro-life but I can help but think in the case of blacks that 40% of all abortions are black isn’t a bad thing . I know that sounds racist but can’t help feeling that .
