āļø Karmelo Anthony Guilty Verdict: A System That Never Gave Him a Chance | Life Points with Ronda
šØšæāāļø A jury found Karmelo Anthony guilty of murder. He is 19 years old. He is Black. He was tried in Collin County, Texas.
š„ The jury? 12 people. Plus 6 alternates. Not a single Black person.
āļø The judge? Judge John Roach Jr. ā personal friends with the victim's father.
šØāš¼ The prosecutor? Bill Wirskye ā also personal friends with the victim's father.
ā Neither recused themselves. Neither stepped aside.
šļø Host Ronda ā an Iyanifa (Ifa priestess) and podcaster ā is furious. Not just at the verdict. At the system that made this verdict inevitable.

- A wake-up call for every Black and brown family in America
