Karmelo Anthony Brought a Knife to a Track Meet — His Lawyers Have No Answer For It

from Criminal Motives · host Matthew Phifer

Jury selection is officially underway in McKinney, Texas — and the tension outside the courthouse is already building. Demonstrators are gathering on both sides, the GiveSendGo fundraiser for Karmelo Anthony has now surpassed $600,000, and opening statements could begin as early as tomorrow.In Episode 2 of our ongoing trial series, we break down Karmelo Anthony's self-defense claim, why attorneys say it's an uphill battle, and the one question that could define this entire trial — why did Karmelo bring a knife to a track meet?I also share my perspective as a therapist on why being a victim and being legally wrong are not mutually exclusive — and why that distinction matters more in this case than most people realize.🔗 Resources & Links:Some links below may be affiliate links.
