As someone who grew up in the segregated/Jim Crow South, I have brooded on this issue for many, many years.
White people, including me, like to think to ourselves that black people no longer have any grounds for racial grievance. Segregation and Jim Crow are illegal and long in the past.
The problem is that millions of black people live with relatives--grandparents, for instance--or know people in the community who are my age (77) and who grew up in the same segregated world I grew up in.
The world of segregation is a living memory for those folks, and they pass those memories--and fears and resentments and angers--on to their children and grandchildren.
Many black people are able to go on with their lives and not be trapped in that past, but there are millions for whom that past is vividly real and can control their lives if they let it.
I grow more despairing that our society is just stuck in the past with not much of a way forward.

I met a 30 yo grandmother once. She had her daughter at age 15 and her daughter had the granddaughter at age 15. Recollect thinking that she might be a great-grandmother and still be younger than I was at the time.
I also met a 16 yo who had an emergency C-section for her 4th child. Not just 4th pregnancy, but her 4th baby before she could have driven herself to the OB appointments.

Those are not the jurors prosecution struck.
The three peremptory strikes used on black jury panel members were not the ones that said they couldn't be impartial.
They were as a matter of law struck by the court for cause. The prosecution didn't have to use their strikes on them.
That's how it works. Nothing in what you quoted refutes that.

2356 words of victim blaming, ending with a taunt at the father. What trash.
Somehow, if you shove a black person, that justifies them stabbing you to death. This is a college professor fomenting this 'disrespect' culture.

Karmelo Anthony's main GiveSendGo has been taken down.

Another one has just popped up today, however.
Guess who started it? Dominique Alexander. With the funds going to Karmelo's mother.

She's really trying to win the hearts and minds:
This is what "the community" and "community activists" think about when a black teenager murders another white teenager, in cold blood. There's a Scott Adams meme in here somewhere...she's more worried about the memes, than defending a convicted murderer. Oh, the horror.

Anthony also filed a pauper oath appointment of attorney on appeal, a document that declares indigency, waives fees, and requests legal representation. It's unclear whether Anthony would be represented by the same defense team as in his first trial or if a new team would be assigned.
I guess they really did blow the gofundme money.
Still unclear to me if his trial defense counsel were PDs or privately hired.
That aside larger jurisdictions have separate resources (either inside or pro bno outside with case by case rates) for appellate work. Being a trial attorney and being an appellate attorney require different skill sets.
Trial attorneys were retained.
Like I have said many times before, the reporting has been all over the place on that. Hence, "still unclear to me." Someone filed that in pauperis form for him as he sits in county lock up.
A lawyer friend of mine is working with Toby Shook on a case in the Austin area. I asked my friend the other day if Toby was appointed or retained. So that's where I got my info.
Quote:
An attorney appointed to represent a client shall neither solicit nor accept remuneration from the client on the appointed case(s} unless the presiding judge determines that there has been a change in financial status and approves such payment. If the client is charged with a new offense or is in need of other legal services during the pendency of an attorney's appointment, the attorney shall not accept remuneration for representation in those matters without notice to, and approval by, the presiding judge.
Quote:
"Representation is not cosmetic, it's developmental," said Bizor, adding that the concept of seeking out a more pro-Black environment should not be met with the same criticism as a community that wishes to exclude people. "It's not about segregation, it's about self-determination."

After the Karmelo Anthony verdict, some Black families are reconsidering life in predominantly white communties
According to the article, Frisco is 55% non-white, making it minority-majority city, where whites are the minority. Somehow, that is still 'predominantly white' according to these people.
Then there is this gem:Quote:
"Representation is not cosmetic, it's developmental," said Bizor, adding that the concept of seeking out a more pro-Black environment should not be met with the same criticism as a community that wishes to exclude people. "It's not about segregation, it's about self-determination."
So if blacks want to be in black neighborhoods, that is 'self-determination', but when whites want to be in white neighborhoods, that is segregation? Okay. /s

Strongly disagree. You make it sound like the anger and resentment of today's black miscreants were formed from gathering around Meemaw & Pops and hearing stories of jim Crow laws, segregated schools, and other injustices inflicted upon prior generations of blacks.
But the reality is that the vast majority of current members of this violent, valueless subset of blacks don't know of, or at least couldn't provide a coherent thought on, Martin Luther King Jr, Rosa Parks, or John Lewis. Instead, today's current civil rights icons are upstanding citizens like George Floyd, gentle giant Michael Brown, Jacob Blake, and KA.
"The Community" has nothing but themselves to blame for their current problems, brought on principally by the self-destruction of their family unit and perpetual victim mentality, albeit enabled, encouraged, and excused by the race hustlers, politicians & media who all profit from their misery.

I would not go that far. BUT, I historically struck all teachers unless I knew them personally. And most of them I did know personally. There were two coaches I knew very well. One grew up in small town Oklahoma and the other in Quitequa (sp?). Both of these guys are true blue rednecks. Wish they could have been professional jurors.
The Quitequa guy ended his career as Deputy Superintendant in Frisco. He retired less then 5 years ago.So I called him last night. Still a redneck.
So don't paint all teachers with the same brush. But make sure your brush is a fairly broad brush.

There are some crazy things out there. A good friend of mine and I were partying with a couple of girls right after high school. The next day we took them to where this lady was babysitting their kids then took them to their house. The one he was with goes inside, comes out with three kids, all hers, and she was 18 or 19 years old.
