He calls Carmelo's mother a drunk.
He says that they didn't show up for the sentencing, that he wanted to come and pray with them.
We have heard from Carmelo Anthony's parents.
I'm going to show you a clip from CBS Mornings.
My son didn't intend to hurt anyone.
My son was defending himself.
which is really weird because there's multiple sources reporting on this from people who were at the court proceedings, close to the court proceedings, that the jury was in fact not all white.
So there may have been no black jurors, but that does not mean an all white jury.
So I'm very curious as to why Carmelo Anthony's parents would come forward and say that this was an all white jury.
Suspect.
To have mercy on my son.
Okay.
So there you have that.
I'm going to pull up some other clips of Carmelo's parents talking about their response to this, where they feel as though things may have gone wrong in this process, things that they would have changed.
I'll play a clip here.
This one is circulating pretty widely right now.
So a lot of that was unintelligible, but much, I guess, if I had to sum that up, one of the big mistakes they feel as though they made was going with a white lawyer.
So again, another play back to race and the racial elements of this case.
And they've also spoken about the white jury, which according to reports was not an all white jury, but I digress.
When in reality, for jury selection for this case, there were black people present.
