Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on SiriusXM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.
We're going live today at 305 Eastern Time, because there is a verdict in the Karmelo Anthony case, and we are about to receive it. We're told to expect it around 205 Central Time, which is right now. There are no cameras inside of this courtroom, so no one has any camera feeds. We are just awaiting news from inside the courtroom where it will be relayed as soon as the jury issues their verdict. It only took three hours for them to come to a conclusion and you never know what a jury is going to do. So it's a fool's errand to go and try to predict them, but whatever, I'll do it anyway. There's just no chance in my mind that they are not going to find him guilty, Karmelo Anthony. I could be wrong. Juries sometimes do surprising things, but I will be shocked, shocked if this is anything other than guilty on the murder count. As we discussed on our SiriusXM show earlier, they added a manslaughter charge today, and that could change things considerably for the better for Karmelo Anthony, because it would be much better for him to be found guilty of that than of murder. But there is not evidence of manslaughter in this case. There is only evidence of murder. And the manslaughter charge, if that's what they consider and find him guilty on, I think would just be either a compromise verdict because they had disagreement on the jury or they just felt sorry for Karmelo Anthony because he's a 17-year-old who reportedly has not been in trouble with law prior to this and didn't want to put a 17-year-old in jail for murder. It would have to be that. But I'm sorry, that's what he did. That's what he committed.
This was murder. It was premeditated murder. He went into that tent on the Frisco grounds for this high school track meet. He meandered into the wrong tent intentionally. He knew he was not supposed to be there. It would be the equivalent of, you know, we're watching the basketball series in New York here. You know, the Spurs don't go sit on the Knicks bench.
You don't go over into opposing teams territory in the middle of a sporting event in which you are competitors. Everyone knows that. He was doing something intentionally provocative and he knew it. He was told by multiple kids who were in the tent, get out. You need to leave.
They weren't quite as rude as I just put it. And he wouldn't. He knew he was there to stir something up.
Why would he go into a rival team's tent with a knife in his bag?
I'm sorry, but it looks very much like this kid had some dastardly deed on his mind. And could have been Austin Metcalf, could have been Hunter Metcalf, could have been anybody. But he set himself up for this entire event and he never testified. So we didn't even get to hear from him. We didn't do the jury the courtesy of having him explain his self-defense defense. Of course, the defendant has a fifth amendment right not to testify, but when you are alleging you're not guilty because it was self-defense, it's extremely rare not to put the defendant on the stand. And it's not like they had some amazing eyewitness who was right next to him who could testify. Austin attacked him. Austin punched him in the face. Austin had him by the neck, therefore, initiating the need for Karmelo Anthony to actually give testimony. That didn't happen. The defense witnesses by all accounts were weak, didn't really see much, didn't have eyes on the tent, or came in too late to really be of much help. So it's a very interesting question why they didn't put him on the stand. Obviously, they did not believe he'd make a good witness. And one wonders why. What was it that they saw on the defense team that led them to that conclusion?
