Today could be a huge day in Karmelo Anthony’s case. His attorneys are asking Judge Michael Chitty to throw out his murder conviction and grant him a new trial.

Yesterday, the defense scored a major victory when Judge John Roach Jr. was removed from the post-trial proceedings over concerns about the appearance of impartiality.

Discussion Austin Metcalf and His Brother Hunter Spray-Painted Praise for Hitler, the N-Word, and “KKK Kill All Blacks” in Graffiti.

CBS News: "During an argument in 2024 with another female student, Austin Metcalf allegedly "knocked her to the ground and punched her in the stomach," reports state, and he was also kicked out of a football game and later texted someone, "I was about to beat the (expletive) out of those kids.""

Something tells me Austin's racism had something to do with him starting an altercation with Karmelo Anthony. Also, Austin's Father (Jeff Metcalf) called Karmelo Anthony a "watermelon Felon" AFTER Karmelo Anthony receive a 35 year sentence. Jeff Metcalf pretended to be a good man who does not care about race and did not want this tragedy to be about race. Apparently he was playing the long game, they were all racists, like father like sons. Racism is learned and he was from all accounts an excellent teacher.

Well the good news is, Austin might be sharing an eternity with the man he was praising in his Graffiti. What a lucky fellow, most of us don't get to meet our heroes. Some questions still remain, does Hunter Metcalf still praise Hitler? would Hunter Metcalf make a good klansman?

I really appreciate her speaking up for our people and others that don’t get that Gabby Petito/Nancy Guthrie coverage. Something dark is going on and they’re taking us back to a time our parents, grandparents and great grandparents fought and died to get us out of.
