This Trial Is Becoming A DISASTER For Karmelo!
Andrew Branca ^ | June 7, 2026 | Andrew Branca

The prosecution continues stacking witness after witness against Carmelo Anthony—and the testimony is becoming increasingly difficult for the defense to explain.

Multiple student witnesses described Anthony refusing repeated requests to leave the Memorial High School team area, becoming increasingly confrontational, and challenging Austin Metcalf to physically remove him. Several witnesses testified that no one ganged up on Anthony, no serious fight occurred, and that the confrontation ended almost immediately after a minor shove.

Analysis by lawyer. Ridiculous self defense arguments. Carmelo provoked and then reacted to a touch by stabbing the victim in the heart.

One thing is that although they weren't supposed to have knives, many other students had pockets knives.

It seems turned around from the way it used to be in the south that if a white killed a black it was self defense.

Karmelo is banking on jury nullification. Whether he will get it is debatable.

If you intentionally go across the field to the other team’s tent and insert yourself into their business, then refuse to leave multiple times when asked to leave and you continuously have your hand in your backpack holding an illegal knife, then any claim of ‘self-defense’ is absolutely absurd on its face.................

Don’t get your hopes up. This racist cold blooded killer will get manslaughter and do less time that the bookkeeper who embezzled some cash.

>> Karmelo is banking on jury nullification.

If he gets jury nullification, vigilante justice just might follow on its heels.

He was probably in the tent because most athletes come from well-to-do familes, which means cell phones and highend sports shows.

He was in there for no good reason.

I read that they couldn’t find any who were racially impartial.

Which will be one of the grounds for appeal his defense lawyers will use if he is convicted.

They’re not all white, there are some other minorities. But there are no black jurors.

Including the guy whom i paraphrase “I just can’t see putting a brother in jail.” On the one hand, I appreciate his honesty. On the other hand, so wretched a citizen, after he was excused and before he went home, should have been flogged on the courthouse steps
