If Metcalf's family, maybe there is an offer on the table and confirming they would be OK with the terms?

Think the defense offered a plea to the preservation in chambers?

Based on the evidence and how one sided this trial has been, what kind of plea deal could be expected?

My guess would be in the 50 to 60 year range.

Seems like it would be a big risk to put KA on the stand but I'm not sure the defense has a choice at this point.

I don't think the jury will give him that. 25 max.

I think a plea deal is in the 10 year range. Maybe 15. If it was 50-60, they'd accept on the spot and wouldn't even be talking to the family.

They have to use up that SPLC grant so they can apply for more funding?

Why? Community intimidation? Granted those two look softer than Quilted Charmin.

If Mello Yellow goes on stand, he will go from the "touch me and you will find out" tough guy, to the picked on, crying "kid". and if prosecutor makes him cry, the system is rigged even more against him.
"touch me and you will find out"-- How many here regard that as a warning or a challenge?

That would be done during the sentencing portion of the trial.

This is an underrated and very good comment. While the prosecution may not do much more than articulate it while he's on the stand by asking a question or two, they certainly WILL make a substantial reference to it in closing. I have to believe Shook, as a former prosecutor, knows this and spent most of the weekend counseling the client and family to not take the stand and to take a plea deal.

Prosecution's closing statement in regard to this: "The difference between today and April of last year when Mr. Anthony stabbed a student to death was, today he doesn't have a knife or other weapon in his hand and isn't trying to intimidate you; he's trying to beg you to excuse his murderous behavior. Don't fall for this."

EDIT: if Shook/other defense attorneys think this strategy will get him less time, they may do it and take the risk.

Such a strange thing that this is a high profile trial. High profile crime, to be sure, but it is about the most cut-and-dried murder I've ever read about.

But this country couldn't even get Emmett Till right, so who knows...

I don't know what exactly is going on, of course, but I can't see the prosecution making any plea offers once the trial started other than perhaps a last ditch effort to avoid trial (i.e. original plea deal 50, has to serve half; last ditch still 50 but eligible for parole in 20, or something of that nature). I was speaking here assuming the offer is from the defense.

What would the prosecution accept? I have no idea what their thinking is on that. Based on what I'm hearing about the evidence, I think a hung jury is very unlikely. The only variable now is what the jury is willing to sentence him to.

It's high profile since the whole of America is curious to see if a young black person can be held accountable AND if 'they' will burn down another city.

No, I am NOT a racist......but they keep trying like hell to make me one.
I don't think you know me.

Over turning facts and evidence and fear of the consequences causes lots of tantrums in order to get your way!

In TX there is a law that prevents defendants and their families from benefiting from their crimes. That law was specifically aimed at made for TV movies and books.

I could see 25 years. 20 years before being eligible for parole. The Metcalf family seems like the type to not want to destroy Anthony's life if it can be somewhat avoided while still getting justice.

I don't think this is a last minute plea deal. Wouldn't take this long. My gut tells me defense is getting ready to rest and they are hammering out the final jury instructions so when the jury does come back today, they can keep moving fast.

But that is still a guess.

Does it apply to families? I thought it was "representatives"? (which a family member is not by default)
