Why Karmelo Anthony's 'Touch Me and See What Happens' Killed His Defense

If you or someone you know experienced serious mental health struggles as a result of social media use, you may be entitled to a potential recovery of over $1,000. Visit https://morganmorganpa.sjv.io/c/72737... to submit a claim now. Chris Cuomo and defense attorney and former prosecutor Mark Eiglarsh dig into the parts of the Karmelo Anthony case the jury actually weighed - starting with Karmelo's "touch me and see what happens" line and the legal misconception behind it that being pushed gives you free rein to use lethal force. They walk through the three physical exhibits the prosecution put up that Eiglarsh says overwhelmed the room - the buck knife, the wound photo showing what investigators described as a full-blade insertion with a possible push-and-twist, and Austin Metcalf's coach's blood-soaked jacket - and break down why the short blade length quietly took the manslaughter argument off the table. Cuomo also gets honest about the race question he can't shake - admitting his own "racist suspicion" about how Austin Metcalf might have treated a white kid in the same tent - while acknowledging there's no evidence in the record to support it.
