EDIT: And Tom would be right. Autopsy report probably not in yet. The ME's Office for that areaSWIFS does work over a huge area. From the Hill Country up to the Red River and out to west Texas. They are the ones I used for just about all murder cases.

People mailing Austin Metcalf's obituary to the Anthony house are savage. The fact that they see this as 'threats' is laughable.

Just want to say you would never see this kind of "praising the killer" mentality in the Hispanic community. If we hear about a hispanic kid committing a crime, we already assume/know hes guilty lol, and we think he should go to jail.

Its just mind blowing how people are defending this kid simply because of his race.

---

You don't see it among Asians either. Or Whites.

---

So basically you don't have it from any other part of the population?

He has not been indicted yet. Why not?

Murder one is a little harder to prove, in my opinion. Manslaughter (hear me out) is more appropriate with additional charges over having the knife, also having the knife on school property. (Which still seems weird to me because of my age with every PU having a loaded gun rack in the rear view window was common) but my concern here is overcharging.

That is not a defense for Anthony on my part, it is looking at what we know thus far. Intent and premeditation hard to prove with we know now. Not a self defense claim, per se. It is not.

So, I'm just warning posters here not to flip out if the indictment is less than what they expect.

---

The charge will be murder. Intent can be formed in an instant. When you stab someone intentionally in the chest ... it is a murder. This was not recklessly done. Manslaughter is not the appropriate charge.

And this would be lightning fast for a murder indictment. I doubt they even have the full autopsy yet. There is zero rush. He is already on bond so the prosecution is not up against the 90 day clock for indictment to avoid a pr bond.

---

Hear me out here. Self defense is not really at play as a legal defense as much as it will be a jury play. Voir dire.

Now, that having been said, do I think Anthony has that caliber of defense attorneys? Don't know.

But for prosecutors stick to what you have nailed down. Not a jury expert by far but my belief is the simpler a prosecutor makes it for the jury to understand and follow, the better for your case.

It is all about the jury.

---

Jury selection is paramount in this case.

But how do they have manslaughter "nailed down" but not murder. How did he recklessly kill Metcalf? He did it intentionally and we know that because he asked about self defense. I'm sure there is an interview with the defendant where he says he was afraid and that is why he stabbed Metcalf. That is not reckless conduct.

His self defense claim will fail because his use of deadly force was not a proportion response.

This is murder. He will be charged with murder. I cannot even conceive of a reason why he would not charge murder. I was a Texas state felony prosecutor for years and am now a defense attorney.

---

I think everyone knows the answer to that but no one is really allowed say it out loud

---

I represent black clients for murder on the regular. They have zero issue charging them.

Hell, they should get me and my guys in as special prosecutors. We are all former felony state prosecutors. For $1.5 million, we will shut down the office for a few months and get this fool 30+ years on murder.

It will be an all white male (no white females) and hispanic petit jury.

This is an easy case for the state.

Curious if any of the cases you were involved in, either as prosecutor or defence, had this notoriety?
No specifics needed, just a yes or no.
The notoriety may affect the proceedings and court system as the threat of riots may increase.

Another reason Karmelo Anthony was moved to an undisclosed location was due to a recent rally in Frisco, according to NGAN.

Rally held at Kuykendall Stadium
What we know:

A small group of people gathered at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco on Saturday.
The fliers posted on social media said, "Protect White Americans." "Justice for Austin Metcalf" "Demand Karmelo Anthony be put back in prison until trial." "Peaceful protest." "Stop black violence on white Americans."

Unfortunately, this won't happen. The Supreme Court resolve that matter years ago in Roper v. Simmons. Life without parole is the best case scenario.
