I will now go back to giving myself a timeout from clicking on this thread until the trial.
Edit for profanity in x post. I think that's a real CNN headline image. Hopefully not.
Edit 2: it is fake. Article author. Sorry, saw it twice and fell for it. I still hate CNN.
have they killed as many people as the Proud Boyz or Oath Keepers? (which I believe is a grand total of zero, one less than Karamelo Anthony).A Net Full of Jello said:

Sure, but why? Fake, but accurate, after all. The family hired a race baiter as their PR agent, I could see CNN writing a similar story sometime in the next few months.nomad2007 said:

When you stab someone intentionally in the chest ... it is a murder. This was not recklessly done. Manslaughter is not the appropriate charge.aggiehawg said:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
No specifics needed, just a yes or no.
The notoriety may affect the proceedings and court system as the threat of riots may increase.

I have no idea what the family's net worth was before the murder, but it's not a super high net worth neighborhood. I'd characterize it as upper middle class. High enough that this still shouldn't be socioeconomic, but highly doubtful on the "rich" claim.annie88 said:

Likely completely fake (video not from incident for sure, as that's not Frisco)
So don't assume this story is accurate either.
Anthony supporters are trying to creat a false image of anyone who believes he's a cold-blooded murderer as racist and unreasonable. Of course they want a change of venue.TresPuertas said:

Agree. Those houses and the trees have a midwestern vibe to them IMOTresPuertas said:
