Yes, the black Karmelo Anthony is going to be given a new trial because, well, ultimately because he's black and his victim was white.
You may remember Anthony was the guy who went into the tent of an opposing track team and when one of the athletes - Austin Metcalf - tried to remove him after he was repeatedly asked to leave he pulled a knife and stabbed Metcalf to death.
Anthony received 35 years in prison for his crime.
But his lawyers pleaded in court for a new trial claiming the judge was biased and had confusing rules and a court has now granted Anthony a new trial.
If you are black you always get an extra swing or two in our legal system these days. Sadly the white Austin Metcalf won't get one.
After the verdict District Judge John Roach said the "jury got it right" in their verdict. Can you believe it! How racist! For that the Hon. Mr. Roach was removed from the case and a new trial has been set.
If this were reversed it is doubtful Metcalf would have been afforded a new trial. We live in a society of black supremacism.
And that is exactly the problem. Anthony, like so many black males, figured he could do whatever he wanted and get away with it because he saw his friends do just that. They were never held accountable for their actions. So Anthony invaded the tent where he wasn't supposed to be and refused to leave. Metcalf made the mistake of trying to evict him bodily and Anthony, who wasn't carrying that knife for no reason, pulled his weapon and killed the white boy.
And now he may just slither out. Another victory for black supremacism.
Update: Anthony may be in hotter water than he is in now as new evidence has come to light.
