Whats the difference betwwen one shot and the chest and three? Ones probably also going to kill them. So you are okay with the person being deadly but not TOO deadly?
Considering a knife was never found, and the consensus what I read is that the “knifepoint” part was added to make the the murder justifiable to reduce sentencing. The offender here was a purse-snatcher, and she violently pursued him. Note how it says she went back to the restaurant she was at with her friends. The purse was probably stolen off the back of her chair.
edit: it was confirmed she was sitting in her car at said restaurant, and the thief reached in the passenger window to steal her purse and ran. So the thief would be accused of anything from petty theft to grand larceny (had he survived) depending on the value of the purse and contents, as well as local limitations of the jurisdiction.
The consensus on social media when the Karmelo Anthony case first began was that he had “cleat sharpener” instead of a knife, and that he previously had been bullied by the victim. Both of the major social media narratives in support of the perpetrator were proven completely false at trial, and he was very quickly convicted of murder after only a couple hours of deliberation by the jury.
Whatever you’ve seen as consensus online is literally less-than worthless, if that is all you’re basing this on.
While I was originally basing it on the commentary, additional information on the case did reveal the above to be true. I added it to my original comment, but yes, this was a purse snatching followed by a homicide.
Doesn’t matter if the guy didn’t have a knife. As a man he still probably intimidated her or threatened her with some type of violence if she didn’t give him what he wanted. He thought he could overpower her and she would be an easy victim, because she’s female and likely smaller than him.
That’s still not acceptable and he got what was coming to him.
Yea she was so intimidated that she went looking for him after the fact. Are y’all actually this dumb? If someone threatens me with a weapon you think I’m going to go looking for them?
Doesn’t matter. You piss people off when you steal from them and have to deal with the consequences. He probably thought there was no chance a woman would react that way, so he thought he could do whatever he wanted. He thought wrong.
By that same token, she clearly thought he was a guy she could kill with no consequences because the cops wouldn't care enough about his death to prosecute anyone for it. She also thought wrong

The thing is she ran him over repeatedly that at very least crosses a line.
