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 prosecutorās reported proffered reasons for striking all black jurors āthat they were teachersāappears 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 Anthonyās 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.
Community note
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.

Another piece of evidence that Anthropic is a messianic cult centered on worship of Claude.

In Bangkok, there are really only two viable modes of personal transport: moped, and car. In a car you have AC, and you can sit and chill but you are locked into the worst traffic on earth. On a moped, youāre fighting for your life at every turn but you can lane split and bypass traffic, and youāre moving fast enough that the heat doesnāt bother you.
This leads to the creation of a funny local archetype: the inexperienced Farang who is here on a short stay visa and rents a giant Harley-Davidson with the idea that itāll help him get pussy only to find himself locked down in traffic looking like an absolute fool under the beating tropical sun with a giant V-Twin between his legs.

Btw dear reader ābiocapitalā means your fellow human beings. This is how your supposed futurists like to talk about you/your family. You only have to tolerate it until they all cash out, disappear and pretend they never said any of it.

An increasing percentage of biocapital on the planet is not needed. Post-singularity is the point where the biocapital inout needed for self sustaining civilization is 0

Admittedly, Iām speaking from the outside here, but doesnāt this sound like something a woman would say before filing for divorce?
I have zero tolerance for dads who show up on vacation, immediately crack and cold one, and then spend hours observing the fun their kids are having from a chair instead of being a part of it.
You can choose numbness or you can choose to make memories. You don't get the time back.

Our internal data shows Claude is accelerating AI developmentāa possible path to recursive self-improvement, or AI autonomously building a more capable successor.
Itās happening faster than we thought, and the implications deserve greater attention. anthropic.com/institute/recuā¦

Youāre gonna lose your job! I promise! I really promise youāre gonna lose it! No I canāt tell you when or how exactly! But you will - itās so exciting! Yes Iāve been saying this for years and it still hasnāt happened! Yes the LLMs still largely suck ass at all the things I said will cause them to lose your job! No I have no grasp of simple economics and human nature! Yes I have made a lot of money on the back of trying to freak you out and realize itās perhaps getting a little long in the tooth and I donāt have a backup plan! No Iām not really good at anything other than finding fancy new ways to say this, and I no donāt know how to get attention from people any other way!
