“Because Anthony was 17 at the time of the incident, Texas law allows him to be tried as an adult, and he faces a possible sentence ranging from five years to life in prison if convicted. Because the death did not meet the qualifications to be charged as a capital murder, and because of Anthony’s age, the death penalty was never an option in the case. “

I can already tell you the result.

He’ll be convicted but will get off lighter than he should.

So, the trial will be an exercise in bashing the kid who died?

Killing white people because they are white has become quite a lucrative profession.

It’s hard to tell from the photo but I wonder if he’s a candidate for roid rage. I was about to sit at a machine in the gym and this well-muscled guy bounded over and insisted I not sit there. It was one of the several machines he was using. I said, “Sure thing.” But the situation and his reaction was very strange. Then I was watching several power lifters getting interviewed about their steroid use. Several commented that it was all they could do not to attack people. The were hyper aggressive.

Now, I have met a few hyper aggressive people who were not on testosterone. But apparently it is very common now and I wonder how many of these absurd attacks are roid related.

Of course his family blew all the money Ghetto Style on a new Cadillac and renting a Mansion on Lease. There’s no money left for a real lawyer.

This is the kind of jury that should be sequestered, because they will likely be pressured to vote in a certain manner by people they know and those they never met before.
In the end, they probably will not be sequestered, for that very reason: “How is Rev. Al going to offer them Bribe Money if they’re all locked up and guarded in a motel?”

I don’t think it was intended to be used for a lawyer. IIRC, it was for protection. Thats why they moved to that bigger house out of town.

"Karmello". You can't make this stuff up.

Karmello needs the needle or ol' sparky. The sooner
Karmello assumes room temperature, the better.

In Collin county his jury will be a lot of Indians and ME’s who have their own communities and businesses. Both the race card and the intimidation are likely to fall flat on that crowd. Only thing that will save him is the judge who already gave him pretty sweetheart bond conditions.
