White Prosecutor and White Judge Remove All Black Jurors to Find Karmelo Anthony Guilty in Murdering White Teen; Media Pretends the Appearance of Justice Not Essential for Its Reality;Appeal Filed

S0-CALLED RIGHT TO SIT ON A JURY IS ALSO an illusion IN RACIST SYSTEM BASED ON FORCE. There are only a few ways that Americans can meaningfully exercise their citizenship; enlisting in the military, running for national office, voting and serving on a jury. Jury service is a basic right of citizenship . With the exception of voting, "for most citizens the honor and privilege of jury duty is their most significant opportunity to participate in the democratic process."   Whether "jury service be deemed a right, a privilege, or a duty, the State may no more extend it to some of its citizens and deny it to others on racial grounds than it may invidiously discriminate in the offering and withholding of the elective franchise."  The "exclusion of jurors is like the exclusion of voters: the exclusion of voters by reason of race does violence to constitutional ideals, whether or not the exclusion affects the outcome of any particular election." 

Despite clear commands from the Supreme Court, since 1880  the right of African Americans to serve as jurors has been elusive. The equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment prohibits African Americans from being excluded from a jury because of their race   or "on the false assumption that members of [the] race as a group are not qualified to serve as jurors."   The Court has held that the 14th Amendment prohibits a State from resorting to discrimination at all stages of the jury selection process  . Even though the principles of the 14th Amendment equal protection clause guaranteeing the right of African Americans to be free from jury discrimination "have been consistently and repeatedly reaffirmed in numerous decisions"  , these Constitutional guidelines are regularly violated through the use of peremptory challenges. [MORE]

VERDICT LOOKS RACIST AND PROBABLY IS From [HERE] Karmelo Anthony filed a notice to appeal his first-degree murder conviction, court records show.

Anthony, 19, filed the notice Wednesday, just a day after being sentenced to 35 years in prison for stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf to death at a 2025 Texas high school track meet.

The notice is not an official appeal, but is an official declaration that Anthony plans to file an appeal.

Anthony’s family and his supporters have repeatedly claimed he was the victim of racism in the prosecution, which legal experts predicted would most likely take center stage in the appeal.

“They’re going to throw the kitchen sink at this,” Texas criminal defense attorney Jeremy Rosenthal told The Post, explaining “racial allegations of jury strikes” are “the most obvious thing that jumps off the page.”

Those racial allegations arose during the jury selection, when prosecutors objected to three black candidates and Anthony’s attorney claimed the objections were racially motivated.

Prosecutors were then required to explain why their motivations were not racial and said because the individuals were teachers they may have biased sympathies towards either the defendant and victim, who were both high school juniors.
