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.

Let's be real: 95 percent of parents would abort a Down syndrome baby because they don't want to raise an overgrown pet that will be a burden on them and society for its whole life. Stop lying with this Christian crap. You hate retards and we're better off without them.

Nope. No. Sorry. Gonna have to push back on this. We were ever mindful of creating a show that would have broad appeal.

HEY @amazon @AmazonMGMStudio I REFUSE to believe that the original creators of #Stargate would have created something that wouldn't have had broad appeal. They are extremely talented people that created one of the biggest franchises in our time. REVERSE this decision! LET THEM SHOW YOU AND US WHAT THEY CREATED. Look at what is happening to Disney Star Wars at the box office right now. Look at how the new Star Trek Academy went. WHY do you keep making the same mistakes?!? IT'S NOT TOO LATE. LET GERO, JOE AND THE OG'S COOK!

Americans talking as if one could just just drill a hole through 2 ft thick walls

As a white person have you ever experienced racism?

OMG, do you know how much of a flex this is?? 😭

Trump shouldn't be able to unilaterally do shit like this to our national monuments.

Here’s the deal: Virginians voted.

The hubris makes today even more hilarious.

Fuck you dude

I will never, EVER understand how this show ONLY got two seasons. Tale Spin arguably was one of the Disney Afternoon's best shows.
