Within hours of Karmelo Anthony’s first degree murder verdict, Texas congresswoman Jasmine Crockett defended Anthony’s use of a deadly weapon, saying if she had someone on top of her, she wouldn’t be limited to fists either. The problem, Crockett was comparing a much different scenario than what happened at that Texas high school stadium. Earlier, Crockett explained the fear black mothers have for their black sons, but seemingly dismissed the pain of the Austin Metcalf’s mother, creating a wave of negative, racially charged comments online.

A federal judge has ruled that nitrogen gas executions are unconstitutional, now just one day before Alabama is set to execute Jeffrey Lee by that very method. Lee was convicted for the 1998 double murder of two pawn shop employees.

A Texas jury deliberated for 2 and a half hours, quickly returning a guilty verdict for 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony who was visibly shaking in court. Anthony, who is black, was convicted of first degree murder of fellow teen Austin Matcalf, who is white. A jury with no black members  then rejected a “sudden passion” option that would’ve reduced Anthony’s sentence, instead, the jury came back with a 35 year sentence for the tearful teen.

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.

An international group of scientists have released a new, jaw dropping study that suggests if you consume 2 drinks a day, you have a 1 in 25 increased risk of premature death from alcohol related disease or injury. Results from this latest study challenge the Trump Administration’s newest, vague guidelines, which only suggest Americans “consume less alcohol for better overall health.”
