Wow, I'm really surprised. I would have bet they would have went for a lesser charge. They must have information that we haven't seen that would prompt them to go for first-degree murder.

Are the cases identical?

8 minutes of knee on neck restraint is excessive use of force. I know he and the other officers were dealing with a huge man high on Fentanyl, but they could have put leg and wrist restraints on him. Involuntary manslaughter imo and he has plenty of time served for that crime.

Correct you have nothing, because it is irrefutable.

No, nothing like OJ. This young male is a piece of shit that committed wanton murder, stabbed his competitor in the heart with a knife, not a normal guy that was pushed by a psycho greedy gold-digging bitch to the edge of sanity. NO.
And OJ would have outrun him, too. This POS would have stabbed OJ for beating him silly in a race.
That's what's really happening here. And yes, OJ would beat him in a race.

Just as Cochran and F. Lee Bailey made OJ's trial for murder into Mark Furman's trial for racism, Karmelo's lawyers will put the victim on trial.
Likely, they'll find a racist remark the victim made years ago on social media. If not, they'll twist something or just find a fake witness.

No, it was actually not one-on-one.

He shouldn't have had the knife but he did warn the perpetrator of the violence that if he swung at him, he was going to stab him.

Chauvin did what the regs said. Floyd was saying, "I can't breathe," BEFORE he was put on the ground. The media edited that out.
Floyd was cuffed but he would have likely broken out of them and injured himself and others. Asphyxiation is the worst of all deaths. Chauvin did NOTHING wrong.

Perps always say they can't breathe.

I disagree, but in either case he should be released and I hope he is soon. Symbolically it will stick a fork into that scam of the century called BLM.

Many do because they think they can later sue and get some money. But police are required to accept what they say and assume they are ODing.

No, not like that. OJ didn't take a plea for manslaughter or say he was self-defending himself. This kid might take the plea to an offered lesser charge, but will serve time. Maximum sentence 20 years.
However....
the kid's high dollar attorneys might try to get him off on self-defense and they won't take the plea in that case. Playing Russian Roulette though because with the right jury they could still find him guilty of first-degree murder.
It's going to be an interesting trial for sure.

Anything other than a plea and he will face the max.
IMO, this is one for a hanging. In the public square within 2 months after a conviction.
Public hangings send messages to would-be criminals and keep worse shitbags out of prison (because they get hanged).
It's a triple win and not doing it is a triple lose for taxpayer money and justice.

It was the same in that in both cases, a person pulled out a knife and stabbed someone.
But yes, they are different in that OJ denied being even on the scene.
I believe that the insistence on trial as an adult and first degree murder was a mistake. How can they prove first degree murder when the victim initiated the physical altercation (assuming that the news is reporting that part correctly)?
In Texas first degree murder requires either a special type victim (cop, child under ten, etc.), or premeditation combined with intent to kill. I don't see how they might prove premeditation, and intent to kill would be iffy. So, it should be second degree murder if they can prove intent to kill, and manslaughter if they cannot prove intent to kill.

The state pushed for first degree murder to scare Karmelo's family into a plea deal. Won't happen. Money is pouring in and lawyers are slithering in. Those lawyers are not going to leave that money on the table by not having a trial.
What's the difference? Both brought weapons to school or a school event, both stabbed a classmate to death.
You haven't posted anything that needs to be refuted.
Yes, it was it was proven in Court.
