With any luck, Marshmellow will get murdered in prison and a new trial won't be necessary.

Old Charlie Manson would be smiling as he awaits "Helter Skelter".

The crime doesn't matter. What color are the players? You can see the playbook from a mile away.
It truly is sad.

These are the two highly "offensive" plaques removed from the Texas Supreme Court Building. It is nearly impossible to find them on an internet search because they were memory holed. This is when I learned to distrust G.W. Bush and it made Gary Bledsoe known nationwide as a race hustler.

One plaque stated, "Dedicated to Texans who served the Confederacy."

The other contained the following quote from General Robert. E. Lee: "I rely on Texas regiments in all tight places, and I fear I have to call on them too often. They have fought grandly, nobly."

Whoopi blindly defending a murderer because he's the same skin color as her. One of the many, many problems with society.


And that's exactly why all the potential black jurors were struck in voir dire.

Happening more and more these days with lawyers and their teams relying on AI for research and drafting, and then not checking their citations. I read one report where a judge sanctioned both sides of a case for hallucinatory citations.

The merits of the appeal don't matter, unfortunately. If it's heard by a rad lib judge, it is virtually guaranteed that the conviction will be overturned.

This is case is clearly murder. The racists just truly believe it should be legal for black people to kill white people. That's it. That's what it comes down to.

His legal team should just go ahead and change his name to George Floyd Jr. It's obvuios their goal is to turn this murderer into a martyr. They need to hurry though, the elections are in November.

i'm not sure they care about turning him into a martyr. They just wanna use him in fund raising so they can line their pockets off his conviction. It's all about the money.

TL;dr, The View sucks

Imagine thinking the only people under a tent at a track meet in Texas would be white. How effing stupid/racist are you to believe that?

Another spin tactic is to frame his being under that tent as normal, it is'nt. I ran HS track as did many/some of you, Id guess. It was in the early 90's so we did not have the fancy tents, we just cooked all day in the bleachers.

Either way, you sat with your team. You did not go to another teams area uninvited (or on invite, really). Our coaches from junior high on through high school made it very clear... "if you are not in an event, sit down (in your designated area), shut up, and dont make a fool of yourself or our school". If you blinked wrong you ran until you puked (and probably got a swat or two).

If someone from another school showed up in your area uninvited it was aggression, period full stop. We did not stab or shoot people in our day but it would have no doubt got "chippy". But, the coaches words/threats would have been fresh on the brain and an altercation was going to be unlikely. The kid that decided to join another team would have been snatched up by the ear, by his coaches, and his next couple of weeks would have been tough. He was probably in a PE class by the end of the week, actually.


This kid crossed that line and was armed. There is no defense for that, period.



Folks who never cooked all day in the bleachers at a track meet need to understand this. This was not normal. This was not kids hanging out in a blended environment which got out of hand. There are borders on those bleachers and it is clearly understood that you did not cross those borders. And, now you know why.

One thing is for certain, track meets do leave alot of kids unsupervised for long periods of time. My guess is that will not be the case going forward at most meets.

Hiring a team of "heavy hitter" civil rights lawyers really means nothing in a case on appeal. They can't change the record and they can only file one brief. There is no daily media exposure on the courthouse steps to drum up rage. There is no ongoing trial for idiots to march outside in protest. They will electronically file a brief and send a bunch of hard copies to the court. You may or may not get oral argument, which would be about 15 minutes a year from now. One or maybe two of the lawyers will get to argue, probably one. He won't be able to stray from the record or legal grounds for appeal with some proselytizing plea for racial justice. And even if one radical justice is swayed, you ain't convicining a panel of 3 or the whole court en banc.

This is all just a dog and pony show.

And as for substance, they don't have much. Seems like the Judge ran an air-tight trial. I could probably do a Westlaw search and come up with 50 cases in which strikes of teachers were upheld because of their notorious sympathy. The Defense team was not limited in any of their evidence presentation or ability to call witnesses. They got a favorable jury charge and stil lost.

It's payback for what happened to their ancestors.

I had a good friend at my first company back in the 80s... black professional who graduated from Texas. He was extremely bright, a strong contributor, a church go-er and an upstanding community member. He would have been a neighbor that you would have been glad to have. We would discuss politics and were polar opposites in that regard.

He told me that to remedy past injustice, things have to be unequal first before they can be equal again. e.g. justice, jobs, government treatment, etc must favor black people over white people for a time.

I asked how long must it be unequal. He said "I'll know it when I see it"

I wonder who is funding this?

Quote:

As always, I believe the public deserves to know who is representing the parties involved in high-profile cases.

* Gary Bledsoe serves as President of the Texas NAACP and has been involved in civil rights litigation for decades. However, in February 2026, a federal judge ordered Bledsoe to show cause regarding what the court described as a "hallucinated case citation" and alleged mischaracterizations contained in a legal filing. The judge raised concerns about possible misuse of artificial intelligence in the filing and considered sanctions. Public reports later indicated that Bledsoe apologized and avoided sanctions.

* Russell Wilson II is a veteran appellate attorney. At the time of this post, I have found no public disciplinary history associated with him through publicly available records.

* Brooke Cluse joined Ben Crump Law in 2023 and serves as Chief of Staff and Executive Liaison to nationally known attorney Ben Crump. Prior to that, she served as a public defender in Harris County, Texas.

Ben Crump represented the family of George Floyd, Trayvon Martin, Breonna Taylor and Michael Brown.

The announcement signals that Anthony's legal team intends to frame the appeal through both appellate and "civil-rights"lenses.

NOTE - An appeal is NOT a new trial. The appellate court will review the record for legal errors that may have occurred during the proceedings. The jury's verdict remains in place unless and until a higher court determines otherwise.

As always, I will be reviewing the filings, court records, and arguments myself rather than relying on press releases from either side. Thank you.


'Hallucinated case citation' is a new one for me.

It's funny reading the comments on social media about his new team and the appeal. They believe he's going to have his conviction reversed. They are acting like anyone who appeals will win their case. They have no concept of what the appeal even is.

Of course. They are suckers who believe the entire thing was race based. These lawyers hired to appeal are all to willing to stoke that belief because that's what they do. Then when its not successful, the people won't believe they've been suckers by slick race hustlers, but instead will believe Karmelo is still wrongly convicted because he is black. These are the ignorant minded fools that give oxygen to the Ben Crump's of the world.

I saw a recent story where a judge chastised attorneys for the plaintiff and the defense for using faulty AI legal precedents. Plaintiff attorney cited bogus precedent from one of the AI programs and the defense attorney rebutted with fake legal precedents from AI.

It's a pretty regular thing now. I get daily legal updates and there is usually a story about a lawyer getting chastised for citing fake cases generated by AI.

AI has made some things easier, such as compiling data and spitting out content, but it is an absolute risk if using it for legal research and drafting of any brief with authority. Everything must be verified.

On the other hand, AI has made things much harder as far as getting rid of thin or frivolous cases. Pro se plaintiffs are using AI to draft all of their pleadings and discovery which can get them over the minimum threshold and force more work.

Yes, and the money and coverage they get as his legal team. I think these attorneys are looking for future political aspirations. Just wait and watch. The President of the NAACP is a stepping stone. Look at disgusting Al Green. I am sure they claim that the knife did not fit his hand so, If it doesn't fit, you must acquit!
Nothing surprises me anymore.

Sounds like all he had to do was look in the mirror to see the equality…..

This appeal will be lost and in short order. There was no error of law or procedure in the jury selection or trial. Truly the only error is the light sentence and eligibility for parole. If I was the dad or brother or related family member… if KA ever got paroled he would be dead within 24 hours.

Yep - this is just a money grab from the gullible liberals to the family and the lawyers. They will parade these "heavy hitters" around town, host several dinners and keep telling the gullible liberals, we need money to fund the lawyers. Lawyers will get about 80% of the money raised, kick back the family 20% and the kid will be a punk in jail while his family enjoys money from a reverse ghetto lottery.

This is exactly spot on.

Defense got everything they wanted from the judge, which is the way it always works in criminal cases. And the reason the defense gets everything is so they will NOT have any grounds for an appeal.

I am convinced that 8, maybe 9 out of 10 of them believe this, at least to some degree. There is an unhealthy revenge factor that naturally arises when you are told your whole life that a certain other group is the sole reason for the vast majority of your problems.

The View is peddling nonsense and deliberately spinning false narratives as always.

They show barely any real snippets of the video that are damning and instead show Karmelo crying like a child on video to curry sympathy. They are poisoning the well and they know it.

Reverse the race of the victim and perpetrator, and they would have had the white assailant virtually hung from a media noose before the trial ever took place.

Meanwhile... the noticing in the American population continues......
