My quick take concerning the Karmelo Anthony murder trial.
You hear a lot of talk about whether Karmelo was allowed under the tent and whether Austin had any authority to tell him to leave. This may be relevant when considering Karmelo’s right to “stand his ground” as per the self defense laws in Texas.
What this has absolutely nothing to do with is Karmelo responding with deadly physical force to, what witnesses have testified, appears to have only been a slight push to his shoulder by Austin.
That’s the entire case here. They can argue about who had permission to be in the tent all day.
The bottom line is that Karmelo Anthony killed Austin Metcalf in a manner that does not satisfy the criteria for self defense in the state of Texas.
