Why a Batson Challenge Despite One Black Juror? A Batson challenge (from Batson v. Kentucky, 1986) is triggered when one side shows a pattern of peremptory strikes that appears to discriminate based on race (or gender, etc.). It doesn't require that the final jury has zero members of that group—only a prima facie showing of discriminatory intent in the strikes. The prosecution argued the defense's strikes showed a pattern against Black and other non-white potential jurors early in selection. Even with one Black juror seated, the challenge focused on the process and the number struck (e.g., multiple Black women reportedly removed). The judge did not fully sustain a broad Batson violation that would have reseated jurors or declared a mistrial; instead, he imposed heightened scrutiny on future defense strikes, requiring explicit rationales. abc7ny.com

Do you know what the George Zimmerman, Daniel Penny, and Karmelo Anthony trials have in common? No Black American jurors. In both the Penny and Anthony cases, Batson challenges were raised over the removal of Black jurors, and in both cases, those challenges were denied. That’s not emotion. That’s a pattern. Now ask yourself what that means.

1/ Let me be clear about what's happening in Black America RIGHT NOW. Because the Asian Boycott headline traveled. The strategy didn't. 2/ FACT #1: This was never just about Rick Chow. He was the last straw not the cause. This is the start of a permanent shift toward Black business, Black community economics, and Black investment in ourselves. The headlines call it a boycott because they need it to be temporary. It's not. 3/ FACT #2: Black Americans hold ~$2.1 TRILLION in annual buying power. That's larger than the GDP of all but about ten countries on Earth. This isn't a community without leverage. It's a community that's been TAUGHT not to use it. 4/ FACT #3: Black consumers have already proven they'll move their money. 67% of Black Americans say they'll seek out alternatives when a brand doesn't align with what they care about. That's not a forecast. That's a stated intent. 5/ FACT #4: We already watched the proof of concept. Target rolled back DEI Black households drove its foot traffic decline. Costco held the line and saw the opposite. This shift isn't a theory. It already happened. We already did it. Now, lets do it for Black America instead of everyone else. 6/ FACT #5: Every other community already does this. Italian neighborhoods back Italian businesses. Korean neighborhoods back Korean businesses. Cuban neighborhoods back Cuban. The only community in America called divisive for doing the same thing is ours. 7/ FACT #6: This is not punishment. This is investment. In Black-owned businesses. In Black banks. In Black neighborhoods, Black schools, Black homeownership. In Black wealth that stays where it was built. We're not taking anything from anyone. We're finally giving it to ourselves. 8/ FACT #7: This is not a boycott. A boycott is temporary. A boycott ends when demands are met. There are no demands. There's no list. There is no end. We’re talking about a permanent change in where Black dollars go. A new default setting. 9/ FACT #8: The reason no one in mainstream politics will touch this is simple. "Buy American First" is a campaign slogan. "Buy Black First" gets called divisive. Same logic. Different rules. We're past asking for permission. 10/ This is bigger than Chow. Bigger than one store, one neighborhood, one news cycle. It's the moment a $2.1 trillion economy decided to come home. Stay Dangerous 🐺

Watch white people defend this white boy and say what he did wasn't murder. #AlecAdamson #KarmeloAnthony #Texas

The name is #AlecAdamson! He is a drug dealing, granny robbing baby slapping murderer! He shot a Black man in the back of the head as he was running away. He got 4 years. Fuck the jury, and anybody on it, who is making these racist verdicts. #FreeKarmelo In America, the

“I’m not finna argue with y’all ignorant ass n*ggas!” Comedian Lil Rel goes off as he responds to Black people in his comments who keep calling Karmelo Anthony a m*rderer who got what he deserves and tells them to keep that same energy for Rick Chow, the gas station owner who

@Crt4Me Receipts?

Daniel Penny: $3.5M. Karmelo Anthony's Parents: $600K. Guess Who Gets Investigated.

The fact you’ve been complaining about the same case for over 30 YEARS says a lot about how bias our American Injustice System is. You’re either just too bias, racist or stupid to realize it.

@RealTimBlack Do you know what the OJ criminal trial proved? According to one jury member 90% of the jury thought OJ was guilty but acquitted him anyway as "payback" for the beating of Rodney King. Jury: · 9 Black (African American) · 2 White · 1 Hispanic That’s not emotion. That’s a

@biggtwank @philo_skeptic The fact they have one case they’ve been complaining about for over 30 YEARS says everything about our American Injustice System. They’re just too fucking bias and racist to realize it.

Screaming A. Karmelo Anthony + Rick Chow Boycott Continues x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Joy Reid says "nobody Black I know" is excited about the 4th of July. So who does she know? Does she speak for you?

@slfox48 @phred84 It wasn’t a knife. It was a cleat cleaning tool.

That's why you need Black people on the jury. When this jury heard a Karmelo Anthony cry out, they heard nothing. That's not an accident. That's why representation in that jury box matters.

@RHS76 @Coltsilvers1 Of course he is.

I usually don’t give people like DeVory Darkins extra shine, but what he did deserves to be seen. He took footage of 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony; a 4.0 student breaking down in a tent and LAUGHED at it. Scoffed. For content. For his anti-Black base. Karmelo is not Columbine. Not Sandy Hook. Not the Tops supermarket shooter. Not the Emanuel Church gunman. He is a teenager who defended himself. Period. I stand on that. But DeVory? He stood on Daniel Penny. Said nothing about Jordan Neely. And now he’s mocking a grieving Black child. That’s not conservatism. That’s anti-Blackness with a platform. Watch this clip and share it everywhere. This is who he is. #DeVoryDarkins #KarmeloAnthony #TheTimBlackShow #TimBlackTV

@LFRFamily Karmelo and Austin didn't go to the same school/were not friends smh

1/ Let me be clear about what's happening in the Karmelo Anthony case RIGHT NOW. Because the footage release may have traveled. The context didn't. 2/ FACT #1: Cameras were banned from the courtroom the entire two-week trial. Friday was the FIRST time the public saw any of this evidence. 3/ FACT #2: The surveillance tape the jury watched is so grainy. The footage was shot from across the field. It was so grainy prosecutors didn't even trust it. They used eyewitnesses to tell the jury what the tape couldn't show. Eyewitness friends and teammates of Austin Metcalf. 4/ FACT #3: On the bodycam, a 17-year-old can be heard telling officers: "He put his hands on me. I told him not to." 5/ FACT #4: Yes and Karmelo also said "I did it." But in the same breath: "I was protecting myself." Nobody EVER disputed that he stabbed Austin. The whole trial was about one word: WHY. That's what self-defense IS. 6/ FACT #5: Per the officers' OWN police reports, handcuffed in the back of the squad car, Karmelo asked them one thing: "Is he going to be okay?" He didn't ask for his lawyer. 7/ FACT #6: A legal analyst on NewsNation said the footage humanized Karmelo. A former prosecutor said this case should've never gone to trial. 8/ FACT #7: The jury saw all of it. Heard all of it. Rejected self-defense in about three hours. Karmelo's serving 35 years. 9/ FACT #8: The judge released this footage to the public on Friday, June 19th. Juneteenth. 10/ Of 365 days, they picked the one day set aside for Black freedom to hand a Black teenager's worst moment to the world. Maybe coincidence. A lot of Black America stopped believing in those a long time ago. I'm one of them. 11/ Full breakdown of what the jury saw, and what they refused to hear on my main channel.

Kohen Wiley was 1. Shot over diapers. Officer on leave. The pattern is documented.

@Enoch66857 Anyone who posts that pic is a pos.

The same folks who cheered Daniel Penny’s $3M GoFundMe, celebrated his acquittal, and applauded his outing with Trump and JD Vance after he killed an unarmed homeless man are now badgering me for standing firm for Karmelo. Was their support for Penny racist? They didn’t stand with Trayvon Martin, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Sonya Massey, or Cyrus Carmack-Belton, yet they have the nerve to call me a racist. I don’t need your approval. #FreeKarmelo Happy Father’s Day!

@BBBetsOG From what, words. Austin put his hands on Karmelo and you deny it was self defense. Penny uses his military training to grab a man from behind and kills him. You call it heroism. If you can’t see my point you need LASIK. 👀
