Let’s Talk About Karmelo Anthony

The people who are calling for justice for Carmelo Anthony are heavily indicating that a lot of the reason

that he is facing a first degree murder charge is because he happens to be black.

Amala Ekpunobi

That if the rules were reversed and this was a white kid who killed a black kid, that we wouldn't be having this conversation.

You're gonna see a whole bunch of videos where people are coming forward and saying that this case is essentially rigged, that he's done for from the start because there are no black jurors and intentionally so,

Amala Ekpunobi

for this trial now let me remind everybody both sides have to agree to the jury pool okay and they go through the jurors and they decide who they want to have on the jury and they are both both sides are accepting of that but we're getting tick tocks like this and let's follow here and see the argument made
