@jdmiles11

Closing arguments are 35 minutes each.

Prosecutor Bill Wirskye waived right to open so lead defense attorney Mike Howard is starting

“Austin Metcalf had no legal right to use force to eject Karmelo Anthony from that tent”

“He had no legal right to put his hands on Karmelo…Karmelo is in a public place”

“We ask you this incredibly tough task which is to follow the law”

“The government wants to make this case about Melo could have just left”

“You heard that a track event is a social event, it was completely common for kids to be milling about and go by and say hi, stop into the tent”

“We know that it was raining, i don’t know why we had to have this argument about whether it was raining”

“We know how Texas weather is, so it’s easy to think, boy i better get out of this rain”

He says a witness testified “we had no problem with him under the tent while it was raining”

“You have to put yourself in his (Karmelo’s) shoes, so you start under that tent, you want to get out of the rain”

“Sure enough one of the people at Memorial says, yea, come on over”

“Then all of the sudden Hunter Metcalf, or Austin say who are you? You need to leave?”

“These guys are much bigger than you, do you turn your back and walk away and take a chance that these teenage boys with their raging hormones”

“Austin and Hunter had the right to tell Melo to leave but they did have the right to use deadly force to make him leave”

“Melo had an absolute right to defend himself against that”

“How do you know in a split second of chaos when it’s too late”

“Because if you wait too late to defend yourself self defense is meaningless”

Defense did a good job of casting doubt given the circumstances. This is the best Melo could have hoped for. Only takes one juror yadda yadda.

That being said jury would have to be on edibles not to convict on murder one. Absolutely zero explanation why this guy pulled out a knife and used it. Fucking crazy.

Guilty on all counts.

the facts seemed to me to be close to the border between voluntary manslaughter and murder.

@MaryAnnreports

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.

As you said it only takes on juror. And it is questionable that he intended to kill.

It's easy to say "go big or go home" when you're just a guy on the internet that wants to see him fry. But if you were the guy that gambled and lost and had to face the parents after a NG verdict you might feel differently.

I disagree. I don't like this thing of where it's like well we couldn't convict on murder so let's at least get him some prison time. No. I don't believe in that. I don't think the goal is to tag him for a little bit. In for a penny in for a pound. What I care about is the truth. Either he murdered that kid or he didn't. Let the jury decide. But I wouldn't give them the out of a lesser included. Have some balls and prove your case. If Melo gets an NG on murder he should walk out of the courtroom free. Either he did it or didn't no in between. If I was the pros and we didn't prove our case beyond a reasonable doubt I'd have no issue telling the family look the truth won out and justice is blind. It's a tragedy but I suggest you move on. So yeah no I'm not a fuckin pussy if that's what you were asking.

If they aren't confident in a murder conviction, knowing way more about the facts, juror reactions, and murder trials than you, that means they are right to have manslaughter as an option.

If Karmelo didn't murder Austin he should walk free period end of discussion. He's either a homicidal maniac or he reasonably acted in self defense. No in between. If he didn't murder Austin he's a rational actor who did nothing wrong. Just stop.

WTF are you talking about? You agree that crimes exist for deaths that don't rise to the level of murder. If the jury thinks he acted recklessly but without the requisite intent for murder, you'd rather he walk free than be convicted for a crime that exists?

Also it's not the judges role to question which charged the prosecutors indict and present to the jury. I understand it's probably been a while since you studied criminal procedure but cmon man lol.

lol, he should walk free

please. there is a weak argument to make for manslaughter. juries are smart and retarded. don't take your chances that some jurors go durr durr we can't be positive he intended to kill...not guilty

you have to hope the jurors understand he did intend to kill...otherwise he would have not stabbed the guy in the chest. he had so many other options. he chose to kill the kid.

Pros should stick to their guns. If it's not murder it shouldn't be anything. It's murder or bust here. If you can't convince a jury the guy who brought a knife for no reason and stabbed a guy in the heart is a killer then fuckin forget about it.

Reminder for all you fags, nearly everyone with murder in Texas gets released on parole after 30 years. So 30 served is the max even if it's "99" he will see the light of day. Most sentences in Texas you only serve 50% of the time but I think it might be more for homicide. If he gets manslaughter he'll be out in 5 years or less. This dude is not going away forever I promise you. He will have a life on the outside again.

Self-defense for a high school fight where your client brought a knife to the game is crazy. Defense team already on flight to Cancun.

Three hour deliberation = murder conviction.

I still don't understand why this is noteworthy. It's a slamdunk and unlike Trayvon there isn't some mass uproar.

TX allows an argument of "sudden passion" as mitigation in the penalty phase. if the jury buys it, the murder drops from 1st to 2nd degree felony.

https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/?tab=1&code=PE&chapter=PE.19&artSec=19.02

(2) "Sudden passion" means passion directly caused by and arising out of provocation by the individual killed or another acting with the person killed which passion arises at the time of the offense and is not solely the result of former provocation.

(d) At the punishment stage of a trial, the defendant may raise the issue as to whether he caused the death under the immediate influence of sudden passion arising from an adequate cause. If the defendant proves the issue in the affirmative by a preponderance of the evidence, the offense is a felony of the second degree.

so if we skip down to s 19.04 that would turn it into manslaughter

but he has to prove "sudden passion" albeit to a civil standard not BRD

what happens if the jury is split on the question of "sudden passion"?

No, he's been convicted of murder. The statute about manslaughter has nothing to do with anything now.

This is basically just how Texas codified what other states would do with 1st and 2nd degree murder, i.e. that the murder was not premediated.

Prosecutor Bill Wirskye is addressing sudden passion, saying it is completely inapplicable.

Wirskye says sudden passion is "directly caused by and arising out of provocation by the individual killed." He says that did not happen here.

He said that "adequate cause" does not apply here, meaning a cause that would commonly produce a degree of anger, rage, or resentment.

"This murder," said Wirskye. "This murderer, sudden passion does not apply ... Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent."

"Life sentences have already been handed down in this case," Wirskye said, talking about the impact to the Metcalf family. "Only a lengthy, lengthy prison sentence is appropriate here ...Your duty is clear. I beg you to do your duty this afternoon ... What you do here sends a message."

Yeah it's not the exact same as premeditation but it's similar, I'm just saying it's not about downgrading to a lesser offense but degrees within the same offense.

There won't be a lesser charge, the charge is murder but 5-99 is a big window. The sudden passion angle could have a huge swing. It really matters if the jury believes if Melo was reasonably in a rage when he did what he did. The defense was right to harp on provocation. They didn't win self defense but if they win sudden passion it could be a low sentence, akin to manslaughter. The defense could still score a Big Win with a very low sentence.

sudden passion turns it into 2nd degree and CBS says that means 2 to 20 years. so that could be a massive win for the defense.

Yep. They can still win big. We could see Melo on the outside in a few short years.
