I hope that dude gets life in prison and someone beats his skull in during the first week. He's a POS murdering criminal.

And how is he gonna argue Stand Your Ground when he was in another team's tent???
The tent was in the stands of a facility that is open to the public; it's not private property. Legally speaking, he had a right to be where he was.
The question is whether the prosecution can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he was not reasonably in fear of physical harm to an extent that would justify lethal force. I suspect that they can, but "he was in their tent" is not a meaningful issue here.

Jurors smarter than the attorney and see through the BS. The "relevance" to the question is to find radical liberal, anti-establishment, anti-government / DA loonies and get them on the jury.

Irrelevant. Anthony sitting in their area may have been against meet rules or something, but that has no bearing on the case. The tent was not private property that the victim and his brother had a legal right to defend with force; it's not their house or their car, for example.
The case is about whether one of the brothers pushing Anthony (or whatever the defense alleges that they did), they somehow created a fear of gross bodily harm such that Anthony could reasonably feel that the only thing for it was to pull out a knife and stab one of them in the heart.
That seems highly implausible but that is the only defense they can offer.
if you're at your track meet and a kid from another school (who is not even competing at said track meet) is in your school's tent rooting through your teammates' backpacks, you can't confront ? You have to let them steal because your team tent and your backpacks are "not private property"YokelRidesAgain said:5Amp said:

It's irrelevant whether it was private or public when you respond with murder when being asked to leave. How do you not know this?

And the family made bank while the victims family gets swatted. This is right there with the Ukrainian girl savagely murdered. Hell Democrats tried to hide that one as long as they could. Just cold blooded killers running around knowing Democrats will defend them no matter what.

So basically what you're saying is for example at a high school baseball tournament, a player goes into another teams dugout, with them in there in the middle of a game, the first guy that tells him to get out, he stabs.
Thug murderer created the entire situation, knowing he would be told to leave. This is nonsense.

No, I am saying that the stands at a track meet are not your house or your car and you do not have a legal right to defend them with force. Do you think that the victim would have had a legal right to punch Anthony for sitting in "their" tent? Or stab him?
If Anthony had been in someone's house uninvited they would be legally justified in ejecting him with force. In this case, what he did was not illegal until he started stabbing.

He has Austin, Tx logic, youth team is trying to play at a city field but a homeless guy has his tent on said field. Well its public property, he is within his rights to stab anyone that tries to get him to get off the field. It's insane how people think.

I said nothing of the sort. In your example, the youth team doesn't get to beat the hell out of the homeless guy for being on the field. However, if one of them shoves the homeless guy he doesn't have a legal right to kill them.
The case Anthony's defense is offering is that the victim and his brother "attacked" Anthony and caused him to fear for his life, so he used lethal force to defend himself. The reason that he will presumably be gong to jail for murder is that his claim of fearing death or gross bodily harm is totally implausible; you can't stab or shoot someone for pushing you.

Doubling down, just stop Yokel. Yes, they have a right to defend their stuff and have the right to assume some random dude not involved with their team, school or meet being there is a problem.
ShaggySLC said:
You just said it again. Did Austin beat the hell out of him, I saw no marks in his mugshot.
that was just witness accounts right after the murder. But you're right. Dude probably just sat in another team's area politely and said "what's up guys?" before shanking a kid to death.YokelRidesAgain said:
I'm not aware of any claim that he was rifling through their stuff; where is you seeing that?
The sequence of events as I understand it is:
1) Anthony sits down in the their team's spot in the stands (not illegal).

The sequence of events as I understand it is:
1) Anthony sits down in the their team's spot in the stands (not illegal).
2) Victim and/or brother tell him to leave. (not illegal)
3) Anthony says "touch me and see what happens" (arguably a threat)
4) Brother or victim shoves Anthony
5) Anthony stabs victim
The action in 5) is not going to meet the legal standard for self defense. That's what the case is about, not that the victim was "standing his ground".

No, I don't think he did. That would be the case the defense would have to make to justify self-defense and I don't think they will succeed.
What you seem to be saying is that Austin had the legal right to use force against Anthony simply for sitting in "their" tent. You are wrong about that.

What witness stated that Anthony was going through other people's stuff?
ShaggySLC said:
Myself and anybody that I played with would have said something about a random person not from our school in our tent, bench, dugout, whatever. He put himself in the position to cause a question, whether he was stealing or not, likely was but you seem to trust murderers more than I do, so maybe not. No one in those stands was thinking at a track meet, a life and death situation was about to take place. Austin didn't go looking for it, Anthony did.

I look at it different. To me "touch me and see what happens" makes it premeditated and Anthony knew what he wanted to do.
I don't see a fear for his life aspect when he's making that threat.

Another sad example demonstrating that there are people who simply don't place the same value on things like "human life" and/or "not going to jail" as do civilized people. Anthony was looking to provoke a confrontation. If someone says something like "touch me and see what happens", it is not a good idea to do that. I don't see anything that Austin did that remotely justifies him getting stabbed, but despite that, he is still dead.
