Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico recently weighed in on teenager Karmelo Anthony’s murder conviction, calling it proof that the criminal justice system “is not working for Black Texans.”
Talarico noted the absence of any Black people on the jury during an August 5 appearance on The Breakfast Club radio show. Co-host Charlamagne tha God asked the Texas representative what he had meant when he previously called Anthony’s conviction a tragedy.
Talarico replied: “I’ve done a lot of work in the state House on justice reform, and right now we’ve got a system that doesn’t serve all Americans equally, and we know that Black Texans have not gotten the justice they deserve in many cases.
“I’m not an expert on this particular case, but I know that there were no Black members of the jury, and to me, that’s the only evidence you need to really prove that this system is not working for Black Texans.”
Hmm
Considering that Young Mister Anthony’s cell phone data was left out of the first trial and since it has been now exposed as evidence shows Mr Anthony is actually guilty of pre meditated Murder.
He planned to kill someone that day and sent those messages about licking the blood off of the knife to a Girl he had broken up with and was now stalking. She reported it to her Principal before the Stabbing.
Considering he confessed, they found the weapon and it is on video tape and all the information on Jury selection is readily available well a public as well as private apology to everyone who was actually a part of this mess. And of Course he needs to buy some Newspaper Space in the Austin Papers and publiclly apologise.
what a Loser.
