I have not yet read the full trial transcript. But so far, I do know this. Karmelo Anthony was entitled to a jury of his peers. He did not get that. On that ground alone, he is entitled to a new trial. Minorities are not interchangeable. The prosecutor’s reported proffered reasons for striking all black jurors —that they were teachers—appears to be pretext. Anthony needs a new lawyer on appeal and in a new trial. His trial lawyer allowed in opinion evidence that should have been struck. He also seemed unable to appreciate and counter the impact of racial overtones in that case. Those overtones are clear even on Twitter commentary as folks seek to paint Metcalf as having no culpability in what happened and Karmelo as a complete monster. The facts on how the matter escalated are more complicated than that. He and they had no such authority. They are also apparent in the statements that seek to deputize Metcalf and other kids with authority to remove Anthony. They had none and initiated the conflict. That does not mean they should have been killed but it means they have explaining to do. The lawyer for Anthony apparently did not require that explaining. It is fair to ask how the Anthony’s ended up selecting that lawyer. The trial judge must be disqualified in any new trial if he actually gave an interview about the case before the appeal was considered. He has negatively affected the appeal rights of the defendant. He should know better. He should also be disqualified if he has any relationship with the Metcalf side. In a criminal trial, the prosecution has the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. The defendant does not have to prove he is not guilty. Those rules apply to everyone. They apply to Anthony.

Jury of one's peers does not mean jurors must be the same race as the defendant. No Black jurors were selected after the judge accepted prosecutors' reason for striking them they were educators and denied the defense challenge. fox4news.com/news/karmelo-a… cbsnews.com/texas/news/jur… dallasnews.com/news/courts/ar…

Karmelo Anthony, a Black teenager, has been sentenced to 35 years in prison after being convicted by a jury with no Black jurors. Whatever one believes about the verdict itself, we cannot ignore the larger truth that many Americans are wrestling with: justice is still being administered through a system with a long history of racial disparity in sentencing and punishment. This requires more than reaction. It requires moral honesty about who is deemed dangerous, whose pain is centered, and how differently accountability has often been applied in America. If we want justice worthy of its name, it cannot be shaped by race. #KarmeloAnthony

Jury had no Black jurors because qualified Black prospects admitted bias (e.g., couldn’t convict ā€œa brotherā€) or were struck for race-neutral reasons (educators) upheld by the judge. Conviction based on evidence: Anthony stabbed victim in chest as aggressor. cbsnews.com/texas/news/jur…

New vs Old Old grimey socks (right pic) My first round of socks were decent but over time not great. After a few washes I could notice the color wasn’t as vibrant and the structure of the socks did not hold up as well over time. I release this in 2023 and realized this about a year in. These socks were made from 75% cotton 20% polyester and 5% spandex. New Grimey socks (left pic) Did some homework and these Socks are made from bamboo instead of cotton. Benefits from this are The structure of the socks keep shape longer, moisture wicking technology, maintains the color better, and these junts really softer than the cotton socks all around. Even though them bamboo socks cost more to make them junts go better and more longevity that the OG socks. Drop next month. Grimeyclothing.com mailchi.mp/05ca95110bc5/grim…

I can’t believe I have to do this @Delta but you leave me no choice. Items were stolen from my checked bag and after the file was claimed, your claims manager had the nerve to tell me that I won’t be reimbursed because although I showed the receipts, I didn’t fill out the paper right! As a platinum medallion member this is ridiculous! I asked to speak to a supervisor as well but I guess you prefer me to handle things this way! #SHAME

This is a great example of how little people know about the Sorsby situation and courts. Tx Tech can't be penalized for following a judge's court order. Their only real exposure is if they declare Sorsby ineligible to play for them against the court order, then he can sue the crap out of them. Plus the NCAA has no jurisdiction over the CFP.
The NCAA needs to state that Texas Tech is ineligible for the CFP if Sorsby plays.

Sorsby's lawyers were not attacking NCAA's ability to prosecute for gambling violations. In Sorsby's case, they argued the athlete's mental condition diagnosed by a medical professional should be considered for mitigation of penalties. Historically, the NCAA at times, acts without transparency and consistency in enforcement cases. There are scores of examples. In this case, the NCAA said it did not find any mitigating factors. Under the NCAA's own rules, they're supposed to consider mitigating factors. That's what helped Sorsby win -- for now. Retired judge from Metroplex --hundreds of miles from West Texas with no TT affiliation -- made the decision. Although the decision came in Lubbock County, the case was assigned to an administrative judge for the entire district (Kenneth Curry) after original Tech-aligned judge recused himself. That said, I was floored by the decision.

If Brendan Sorsby played for UT, OU or UGA he’d be getting an award for battling adversity & being oh so resilient right now. Miss us with your bleeding heart, brand new to anything regarding morality garbage.

What wild 24 hours. Here are 3⃣ misconceptions/misinformation I'm seeing regarding the Brendan Sorsby case: 1. He bet on games he played in. He did NOT bet on any games he suited up for. While not great he bet on games while redshirting, he never bet on a game he suit up in. 2. The Judge in this case is from Lubbock. Ken Curry is a retired Tarrant County (Fort Worth) judge that graduated from Houston and UT-Arlington. He is currently eligible to practice law and his practice is listed in Colleyville, TX (over 300 miles from Lubbock). 3. Texas Tech did something wrong. He made all of his bets before taking a snap at Texas Tech. Cincinnati was alerted to his potential gambling activity (per ESPN). Texas Tech declared him ineligible and will now follow the temporary injunction (like the rest of the NCAA).

It’s fine if you disagree with today’s ruling in Brendan Sorsby’s case. But the solution isn’t a new federal law giving the NCAA the antitrust exemption it craves. It’s collective bargaining, with the players treated as employees and the employees represented by a union.

There’s no way people think this gambling thing is a bigger issue to take a stand on than the years and years and years of illegally benefits funneling the BEST players in the nation to one conference but what do I know
