Those sentences are usually disproportionately higher than any other race combination that you've seen.
and that you will see.
And so in some ways this tracks with the data, but if you're looking at the totality of violent crimes and how they are sentenced, this is way beyond what you would normally find, particularly for an offense where the motive could not be, well, the intent could not be established to be, for example, something that was premeditated, something that was sort of preplanned, those sorts of offenses, even though they are deemed to be higher in terms of the
the grade of the the offense if you will they are usually sentenced to given the nature of Carmelo Anthony's lack of criminal history and things of that nature a person would usually receive less of a sentence than he did and so I absolutely agree with Monique that the sentencing here is high although I don't see that as being the the only factor worth consideration in this conversation
Don, I do want to point out for viewers, and this is a little bit in the weeds, the process that Monique was just talking about with respect to a Batson charge.
There may be, on behalf of Carmelo Anthony's defense team, an opportunity to appeal the notion of the way that the Batson charge was decided, only because...
What typically happens, and Monique can attest to this, when you are at trial and you are going through jury selection and you raise a challenge to a witness based off of something that you believe would preempt them from being on trial,
you will at times have a judge or say that they should be stricken for cause.
In a bastion challenge of this nature, the judge can have an opportunity to have a sidebar with the witness and attorneys present and ask them
whether they can be fair and impartial.
I've had this happen to me before, where I have risen, where I've made a challenge to a witness, and because of the challenge that I've made, the judge will try to rehabilitate that witness by asking them, you know, do you have a problem with being a teacher, understanding that there are going to be students and witnesses who are connected to schools?
Can you still be fair and impartial?
And on those bases,
the judge has either allowed, and the witness will usually say, yes, I can be fair and impartial, or no.
And if they say yes on that basis, the judge will usually allow that person to sit and deny the ability to strike them.
And so I don't know whether that
happen in this case as a result of these Batson charges.
But I do want to make clear for our viewers and for the audience that there are additional steps of recourse that the judge did have in this case when a Batson challenge is raised in order to try and rehabilitate a juror so that they can actually serve.
