LIVE! Karmelo Anthony Guilty: Why Self-Defense Failed | Cody Thomas + Dr. Patrice Berry
About this episode
Tonight on Courtroom Confidential, Josh Ritter is joined by Court TV’s Cody Thomas to break down the verdict in the Karmelo Anthony murder trial.
A jury found Karmelo Anthony guilty of murder in the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf at a Frisco, Texas track meet. The defense argued self-defense, but the jury rejected that claim and convicted Anthony.
Cody Thomas was inside the courtroom and brings firsthand reporting from court as Josh and Cody discuss the verdict, the testimony, the defense strategy, the prosecution’s case, and why the self-defense argument failed.
Then, Dr. Patrice Berry from @DrPatriceBerry joins Josh to discuss the psychology behind the Karmelo Anthony case and the latest developments in the federal case against DeCarlos Brown, who has now been found incompetent at the federal level about a month after being found incompetent at the state level in the murder of Iryna Zarutska.
Join us LIVE for analysis of the Karmelo Anthony verdict, what happened inside the courtroom, what comes next after the guilty verdict, and the latest in the DeCarlos Brown federal case.
