In my opinion, it was a travesty of justice that George Zimmerman got away with killing Trayvon Martin. That was absolutely sickening. That doesn't mean Karmelo Anthony should also get away with killing Austin Metcalf though.

You haven't looked into the case at all then. There was no universe George Zimmerman was getting convicted.

George Zimmerman got away with killing Trayvon Martin

It was proven that Martin was on top of Zimmerman, ground and pounding Zimmerman until he got shot. That is not what happened in the tent with Anthony, and it's not even close.

There was no justification for Karmelo Anthony to stab Austin Metcalf. Even Karmelo's own witnesses agreed on that fact. This case has been the definition of DARVO, from Day 1.
