Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Present

Closing arguments wrapped this morning in the trial of Texas teen, Karmelo Anthony. The judge instructed the jury they can now consider manslaughter in addition to first degree murder when determining the fate of Anthony. Prosecutors told jurors they can’t reach manslaughter until they unanimously acquit Anthony first of murder. The defense reminded jurors that the victim, fellow teen Austin Metcalf, had no right to put his hands on Anthony and when it comes to self defense, you cannot wait until it’s too late.

There’s another twist to this story, however, the jury that convicted Lee recommended life in prison, not the death penalty and his lawyers are arguing the jury’s decision should be honored.”
