- 0:41Speaker 2: you know, like with the girls like the view. I
- 0:44Speaker 2: did it. Oh, shout out to Charlate Magne. I mean,
- 0:50Speaker 2: I don't know how he figured that out leveraged that,
- 0:53Speaker 2: but I mean him being who he is, he was
- 0:55Speaker 2: able to maneuver where you know, when he did the
- 0:57Speaker 2: view this week. I was a part of the package deal.
- 1:02Speaker 2: I came with him to also be on the view
- 1:04Speaker 2: as well. Amazing experience. I think it's so crazy because
- 1:11Speaker 2: when I woke up the morning of to do the view,
- 1:16Speaker 2: or to do actually to go to work, to go
- 1:17Speaker 2: to breakfast club, I was a little nervous. I'm not
- 1:19Speaker 2: even gonna lie to y'all. I was a little nervous.
- 1:22Speaker 2: And it wasn't like a nervous like oh my god,
- 1:24Speaker 2: I don't know what I'm saying or what I'm gonna do.
- 1:25Speaker 2: It was like nervous, like almost like butterflies, Like it
- 1:28Speaker 2: was like excitement. But it was just like, Yo, this
- 1:30Speaker 2: is the view, Like what, like what is my life
- 1:36Speaker 2: right now? I? Oh. They literally say, you make a
- 1:41Speaker 2: plan and God laughs at your plan. I always have
- 1:47Speaker 2: very high aspirations and goals and you know, all the
- 1:51Speaker 2: things for myself. But some of the things that God
- 1:53Speaker 2: be just like effortlessly throwing my way and the people
- 1:57Speaker 2: that He is like putting in my life to like
- 1:59Speaker 2: help help me grow, help me maneuver, help me, you
- 2:01Speaker 2: know all those things. I'll just be like, Yo, what
- 2:06Speaker 2: is life right now? Like what is going on? This
- 2:08Speaker 2: is a dream and I'm literally living in real life.
- 2:12Speaker 2: So we were on the view. We talked about a
- 2:15Speaker 2: few different topics, one of them being the Knicks going
- 2:20Speaker 2: to the White House, and you guys know, I got
- 2:21Speaker 2: the statement from the White House after James Dolan went
- 2:25Speaker 2: on that radio show and talked about the fact that
- 2:28Speaker 2: the nick we're going to the White House, and the
- 2:30Speaker 2: statement from a White House representative basically said that they
- 2:34Speaker 2: had been talking to the Next team and they were
- 2:36Speaker 2: excited for the team to come and people are trying
- 2:38Speaker 2: to figure out whether the Necks are going to go
- 2:40Speaker 2: or not. So we talked about that on a view.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Let's take a listen.
- 2:44Speaker 4: Now, the owner of the Next Jim Dolan, says that
- 2:47Speaker 4: the team has accepted an invitation to visit Trump at
- 2:50Speaker 4: the White House, and he is the owner of the team.
- 2:53Speaker 3: Do you think they should go?
- 2:55Speaker 2: No, I don't think they should go.
- 2:56Speaker 3: Why not?
- 2:58Speaker 2: I just I don't see the I don't see the
- 3:01Speaker 2: why in it. I feel like this moment has been
- 3:03Speaker 2: so like everybody's coming together, and you know, like I
- 3:06Speaker 2: think when you start doing things like going to the
- 3:08Speaker 2: White House and stuff like that, like it gets the
- 3:10Speaker 2: device people. And I think that we should continue to
- 3:13Speaker 2: just be happy and in the glory of the win.
- 3:16Speaker 5: Why do you think, charl Man, You know, listen, I
- 3:19Speaker 5: think that they're all grown adults and they can do
- 3:21Speaker 5: what it is that they want to do. But if
- 3:23Speaker 5: they're not going, I would like for them to tell
- 3:26Speaker 5: us the reason why. Like, you know, we know that
- 3:28Speaker 5: no NBA team has won a championship and that's visited
- 3:30Speaker 5: the White House thus far.
- 3:31Speaker 3: But you should let folks know if it's.
- 3:33Speaker 5: A political reason why you don't want to go, let
- 3:35Speaker 5: them know the reason, right, because I think sometimes, you know,
- 3:38Speaker 5: we normalize what's going on in the White House because
- 3:41Speaker 5: we don't speak out about it. Like, don't tell me
- 3:42Speaker 5: that it's just a scheduling conflict, right, you know.
- 3:46Speaker 3: Like give me the actual reason.
- 3:48Speaker 5: Yeah, give me the actual reason why it is you
- 3:50Speaker 5: don't want to be there.
- 3:51Speaker 2: And then we were closing out the viewing it asking
- 3:54Speaker 2: us about the breakfast Club and we started talking about
- 3:56Speaker 2: boss spots. It was such a like a breakfast club
- 3:59Speaker 2: coded moment. Though, take a listen, how.
- 4:04Speaker 3: Has it been going and why did you want to
- 4:05Speaker 3: do this?
- 4:06Speaker 2: Well, it's been going good. But Charlae Man be on
- 4:09Speaker 2: there talking about all the stuff behind the scenes, talking
- 4:11Speaker 2: about like bald spots and different things. Yeah, yeah, no, no,
- 4:18Speaker 2: no, no no no.
- 4:19Speaker 6: So so so it's been amazing though, because I feel
- 4:26Speaker 6: like like we're on air and we're on the radio
- 4:28Speaker 6: and we get to do the segments, but then behind
- 4:29Speaker 6: the scenes, I think people get to really see like
- 4:31Speaker 6: how we are in real night and they I was just.
- 4:33Speaker 2: Telling like they grasped, like yes, it's like so much
- 4:38Speaker 2: love and fun and people get to see that.
- 4:39Speaker 3: Oh wait, so he's saying, you have a bolt.
- 4:42Speaker 7: And listen to the Breakfast Club weekday mornings on iHeartRadio
- 4:52Speaker 7: and streaming on Netflix.
- 4:54Speaker 2: So now, like my family is texting me and calling me.
- 4:57Speaker 2: A lot of them were texting and calling me though
- 4:59Speaker 2: just when it was announced, when Charlemagne in the View
- 5:01Speaker 2: posted it, they were hitting me up about it. But
- 5:04Speaker 2: over the weekend, and then I was with my family
- 5:07Speaker 2: over the weekend, so like you know, a few of them,
- 5:09Speaker 2: I got a chance to like, you know, talk to
- 5:10Speaker 2: them about it, like the fact that it was gonna
- 5:12Speaker 2: be going down, so yeah, like man, this is crazy.
- 5:21Speaker 2: And I didn't cry. I was so happy that I
- 5:24Speaker 2: did not cry. Charlotte gonna say you're not going to
- 5:26Speaker 2: or crying either, like shut up, like leave me alone.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Ain't nobody gonna cry. I do be crying, oh y'all.
- 5:33Speaker 2: I believe because I think I just be so grateful
- 5:37Speaker 2: at what God has done in my life. And I
- 5:41Speaker 2: think it's a different feeling when like, like I've always
- 5:43Speaker 2: had such a close relationship with God, and God has
- 5:47Speaker 2: always shown up in my life like in major ways,
- 5:50Speaker 2: like all the time. He's always made his presence very
- 5:54Speaker 2: very known in my life and always like like it's
- 5:58Speaker 2: been times in my life where I've literally said to God, guy,
- 6:01Speaker 2: like I don't know, I don't know about this one,
- 6:03Speaker 2: I don't know if I believe you and if I
- 6:05Speaker 2: should show up, and he literally would show up in
- 6:07Speaker 2: Warsroon'm like, it's that's nothing but him. So as I
- 6:12Speaker 2: experienced things like this where like, you know, my career
- 6:14Speaker 2: is unfolding in a way that only I could have
- 6:17Speaker 2: dreamed of, Like I set out to do all of this,
- 6:20Speaker 2: but to see it actually happening, it's just like what
- 6:24Speaker 2: the hell is going on? Some days? But yeah, y'all
- 6:29Speaker 2: know where I'm coming from.
- 6:30Speaker 7: It.
- 6:30Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just it's it's literally a dream come true.
- 6:32Speaker 2: That full episode of The View with Me and Charlotte
- 6:35Speaker 2: Mage from June twenty second is live on the Views
- 6:40Speaker 2: YouTube page. It also posted some content to their Instagram
- 6:43Speaker 2: and their Twitter accounts to make sure you guys go
- 6:44Speaker 2: check it out. And I also have a behind the
- 6:47Speaker 2: scenes blog of the day of us getting there and
- 6:51Speaker 2: all of this stuff on my YouTube channel. If you're
- 6:54Speaker 2: listening to this, go check on my YouTube channel. Lauren
- 6:56Speaker 2: Larro's a TV l o r E N l o
- 6:59Speaker 2: r o s a TV to see all of the
- 7:02Speaker 2: behind the scenes leading up to the moment that we
- 7:06Speaker 2: walked onto the view set. I'm coming off a high
- 7:09Speaker 2: if I'm checking in and telling you how I'm feeling,
- 7:11Speaker 2: like I am, like things have been going so well.
- 7:14Speaker 2: Sometimes it's a little scary. I mean things are not
- 7:17Speaker 2: always perfect though, so I do have that balance of like, yeah,
- 7:20Speaker 2: things are good, but like things are getting a little
- 7:22Speaker 2: crazy sometimes too. But sometimes it's a little scary because
- 7:25Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, things are going so well right now,
- 7:27Speaker 2: Like I'm looking over my shoulder, like, hold on, what's
- 7:29Speaker 2: on that happening and everybody healthy, things is going good?
- 7:34Speaker 2: What's going on? But I try to put those thoughts
- 7:36Speaker 2: out of my mind because when God says he has
- 7:39Speaker 2: things for you, and when God promise you things, that's
- 7:42Speaker 2: exactly what be happening. And I'm not mad at it all.
- 7:46Speaker 2: I am so grateful to God to be receiving all
- 7:48Speaker 2: of these blessings and to be able to talk about it.
- 7:53Speaker 2: I think has been the biggest blessing, like being able
- 7:56Speaker 2: to share how none of this is it's possible without
- 8:02Speaker 2: God and without me having a strong faith in God.
- 8:05Speaker 2: And I was watching church over the weekend and just
- 8:09Speaker 2: thinking about a lot of things, like they talked about
- 8:11Speaker 2: like forgiveness and fathers and you know, all of that
- 8:14Speaker 2: type of stuff. And my biggest thing as I was
- 8:18Speaker 2: listening to all of it is like I just want
- 8:20Speaker 2: to make sure I'm posturing correctly. And when I say posturing,
- 8:24Speaker 2: I don't mean like you know how people sometimes I
- 8:26Speaker 2: feel like posturing can come off or sound like it's
- 8:29Speaker 2: coming off as like you want to make sure you're
- 8:32Speaker 2: like positioned the right way and with the right people
- 8:34Speaker 2: and next to the right people. Like That's not what
- 8:35Speaker 2: I mean when I say posturing. I want to make
- 8:37Speaker 2: sure that like I'm cleaning out my heart, my soul,
- 8:41Speaker 2: my spirit, all the things that I got going on,
- 8:43Speaker 2: and I'm not too impressed by all the time. And
- 8:46Speaker 2: I know can be better. And like you know, I'm
- 8:49Speaker 2: a billain in somebody's story out and hurt people not physically,
- 8:54Speaker 2: not physically, but you know what I mean, Like everybody,
- 8:57Speaker 2: like everybody come with their bs, like I have my
- 9:00Speaker 2: own BS. You got your own BS. We all come
- 9:02Speaker 2: with it. But I'm really trying to do such a
- 9:04Speaker 2: good job of like correcting things in real time now,
- 9:07Speaker 2: like so that what I'm receiving is what is direct
- 9:12Speaker 2: reflection of what I'm putting out. And I just feel
- 9:15Speaker 2: so blessed right now about what I'm able to do
- 9:16Speaker 2: in my own life, in a life for my family
- 9:19Speaker 2: and like the things that I'm experiencing, the opportunities that
- 9:21Speaker 2: I'm getting it. I feel like I would be disrespecting
- 9:24Speaker 2: God if I did anything but make sure I get right,
- 9:28Speaker 2: make sure that I am like faithful to Him on
- 9:30Speaker 2: this journey that I'm talking about it, that I am
- 9:33Speaker 2: like literally a disciple for him right now because I know,
- 9:38Speaker 2: like me and him got this thing going on where
- 9:41Speaker 2: like I knew I knew early on, and I know
- 9:44Speaker 2: currently that like he is walking and God and he
- 9:47Speaker 2: is entering into those rooms before I even do. So, Yeah,
- 9:54Speaker 2: this is life. Is life is good right now, man,
- 9:59Speaker 2: Like it really is. And I'm so blessed to have
- 10:02Speaker 2: a platform like the Latest with One on the Roads
- 10:04Speaker 2: of the podcast to document a lot of this. You
- 10:06Speaker 2: guys have been along this journey with me for the
- 10:07Speaker 2: last like year or so. If you got a chance
- 10:12Speaker 2: to check out the View already, or if you're listening
- 10:13Speaker 2: to this and you're gonna go check it out, I
- 10:15Speaker 2: want to know what you think. I want to I
- 10:17Speaker 2: want to hear from you. Make sure you hit me
- 10:19Speaker 2: up on socials, Mourn La Rosa everywhere. Let me know
- 10:22Speaker 2: you're a low ride and you listen to the podcast
- 10:24Speaker 2: and let me know how you think we did. I mean,
- 10:26Speaker 2: Charlotgne has been on there several times now, but my
- 10:29Speaker 2: first time. Let me know how you think I did.
- 10:31Speaker 2: L O R E N l O R O s
- 10:33Speaker 2: A everywhere. I did forget to hug the ladies when
- 10:36Speaker 2: I came out, and I was like, I'm my allD
- 10:38Speaker 2: what I apologize for it though, listen to this. I'm
- 10:43Speaker 2: sorry I didn't hug everybody when I didn't know, but yeah,
- 10:48Speaker 2: let me know. Now let's get on into the latest.
- 10:54Speaker 2: I took a lot of time just talking through the
- 10:56Speaker 2: view and all the feelings of the things. But one
- 10:58Speaker 2: of the things that the ladies on the View actually
- 11:00Speaker 2: talked about was Carmelo Anthony and the fact that there was,
- 11:04Speaker 2: you know, an appeal was going to happen. There's no
- 11:07Speaker 2: body can footage that has come out from police of
- 11:11Speaker 2: the arrest. Let's take a listen to a piece of
- 11:14Speaker 2: that body can footage that people are having conversations about
- 11:18Speaker 2: right now. It was announced today that Crimelo Anthony has
- 11:22Speaker 2: a all star Dynamic Legal Appeal team appeals team as
- 11:30Speaker 2: he goes into you know, setting up his appeal. He's
- 11:33Speaker 2: currently behind bars, sentenced to thirty five years for the
- 11:38Speaker 2: stabbing death of Austin Metcalf, who was the other team
- 11:41Speaker 2: boy at the track meet that they did, you know,
- 11:44Speaker 2: he got into the dispute with. And it's a sad
- 11:48Speaker 2: situation on both sides, it really is. But Carmelo Anthony
- 11:52Speaker 2: is trying to appeal and and I believe that it should.
- 11:54Speaker 2: I think that there were some things, and we've talked
- 11:56Speaker 2: about it here on the podcast in previous episodes. I
- 11:59Speaker 2: believe there was some things and trial that were not
- 12:03Speaker 2: done the best way to you know, provide his defense.
- 12:11Speaker 2: And the ladies on the View had a really interesting
- 12:13Speaker 2: conversation about, you know, at the end of the day,
- 12:16Speaker 2: right like the if self defense was considered in the
- 12:20Speaker 2: way that we want it to be, what would have
- 12:22Speaker 2: been inappropriate sentencing because I mean, someone did die so right,
- 12:29Speaker 2: so someone so Carmelo Anthony will have to you know,
- 12:34Speaker 2: face the consequences for that. And I don't think anybody
- 12:38Speaker 2: is arguing that. I think what people are arguing is
- 12:40Speaker 2: that they want things to be fair, they want things
- 12:43Speaker 2: to be consistent, they want you know, that's it, right,
- 12:49Speaker 2: what would that look like? Take let's take a listen
- 12:51Speaker 2: to their conversation. Now, me and Charlotmae were not a
- 12:53Speaker 2: part of this conversation. This was actually before we came
- 12:55Speaker 2: onto the View. But let's take a listen to what
- 12:56Speaker 2: the ladies on the View had to say about that.
- 12:58Speaker 4: This has been an issue for such a long time
- 13:01Speaker 4: in the judicial system, where prosecutors use what are called,
- 13:05Speaker 4: you know, bats and challenges, and they explain what that is.
- 13:10Speaker 4: It's a challenge that is used to strike a duror
- 13:18Speaker 4: sometimes generally a durer of color for a race neutral reason,
- 13:23Speaker 4: because you're not supposed to you're supposed to have a
- 13:26Speaker 4: jury of your peers, and you're not supposed to just
- 13:28Speaker 4: strike someone because they're black.
- 13:30Speaker 3: And in this case.
- 13:32Speaker 4: They gave the reasoning that they're educators and this happened.
- 13:36Speaker 4: These were high school students, and this happened at a
- 13:38Speaker 4: school track meet, so they couldn't be impartial because of that.
- 13:41Speaker 4: I don't think that's an appropriate reason. Just yeah, I
- 13:44Speaker 4: don't think it's an appropriate reason to strike black jurors,
- 13:48Speaker 4: especially when it's a young black teenager on trial, and
- 13:52Speaker 4: especially when that particular area is made up of ten
- 13:55Speaker 4: percent of an African American community.
- 13:57Speaker 3: So I don't think he got a jury of his peers.
- 13:58Speaker 4: So I think on appeal there is a legitimate thing,
- 14:02Speaker 4: a legitimate reason. I also think we have to look
- 14:04Speaker 4: at self defense here because there seems to be two
- 14:07Speaker 4: systems of justice at play in this country, and there
- 14:10Speaker 4: have been for a very long time. I was part
- 14:12Speaker 4: of the system, so I understand that, and I believe
- 14:14Speaker 4: that to be true in this case. This young man,
- 14:17Speaker 4: you heard him say, he put his hands on me,
- 14:20Speaker 4: and I told him not to. The kid that died,
- 14:24Speaker 4: and I have so much empathy for him and his
- 14:28Speaker 4: family's laws.
- 14:29Speaker 3: That kid was two hundred pounds.
- 14:31Speaker 4: This kid was one hundred and thirty pounds so and
- 14:34Speaker 4: the other kid was also taller than he is. He
- 14:38Speaker 4: was the only black kid under the tent. And this
- 14:42Speaker 4: the victim here, had his twin brother with him, who
- 14:45Speaker 4: was also a very large person.
- 14:47Speaker 3: If that, if you don't fear for your life, if.
- 14:51Speaker 4: You weigh one hundred and thirty pounds, I weigh one
- 14:52Speaker 4: hundred thirty pounds facing somebody that's two hundred pounds, I
- 14:55Speaker 4: would be terrified of that. I don't understand why self
- 14:58Speaker 4: defense was reject by this story.
- 15:01Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think you know that that is going
- 15:03Speaker 2: to be the interesting thing with this new appeals team, right,
- 15:07Speaker 2: Like it's it's where where do we go from here?
- 15:13Speaker 2: So you know, the new appeals team is consistent of
- 15:18Speaker 2: the NAACP president Gary Blessed. Blessed, So I'm probably saying
- 15:24Speaker 2: that wrong. I'm so sorry. A veteran ap Pellet attorney
- 15:29Speaker 2: Russell Wilson, the second to a Right's attorney recluse. I
- 15:33Speaker 2: know Ben Crump is kind of like loosely in the
- 15:36Speaker 2: mix of this as well too. I was told that
- 15:38Speaker 2: some of these attorneys are working pro bono, and you
- 15:43Speaker 2: know the focus of this is going to be, you know,
- 15:47Speaker 2: where their errors that occurred during the proceedings, and this
- 15:52Speaker 2: all star legal team plans to raise any issues that
- 15:55Speaker 2: it believes could support overturning the conviction. So they're, you know,
- 15:59Speaker 2: taking a first look at the case and going to
- 16:01Speaker 2: try and figure that out. And I'm very interested to
- 16:04Speaker 2: see where all this lands, you know what I mean.
- 16:09Speaker 2: It's kind of difficult to talk about because it's like
- 16:11Speaker 2: you have this young man who is behind barspace in
- 16:16Speaker 2: thirty five years, which is a lifetime, right, and then
- 16:21Speaker 2: you have another young man who lost his life, and
- 16:24Speaker 2: there's conversations about self defense and we don't fully know,
- 16:27Speaker 2: like we've heard things through court, but I feel like
- 16:30Speaker 2: things we don't We weren't fully given the full picture
- 16:33Speaker 2: throughout the court proceedings, and I do think that self
- 16:36Speaker 2: defense should have been considered way more in this. So
- 16:40Speaker 2: those are things that we're gonna have to think about
- 16:41Speaker 2: as we move forward in this. It's just so sad
- 16:44Speaker 2: to see because these are these are people's kids, these
- 16:48Speaker 2: people's babies. I saw a video over the weekend of
- 16:51Speaker 2: Whiskalifoo talking to his son and I was like, you know,
- 16:56Speaker 2: the scariest thing about me at preparing to become a parent,
- 17:00Speaker 2: and even with my niece, my niece. I told you guys,
- 17:02Speaker 2: my niece was here with me last week for about
- 17:04Speaker 2: a week. The scariest thing is like you raise these
- 17:07Speaker 2: babies up and then you give them to the world,
- 17:09Speaker 2: and you can't control the things that they come across.
- 17:11Speaker 2: A lot of the time, Wis Kalifa's son called them
- 17:16Speaker 2: about facing a bully in school, and there has been
- 17:19Speaker 2: a conversation about whether Carmelo Anthony was defending himself from
- 17:24Speaker 2: what he felt like was aggression or you know, something
- 17:29Speaker 2: that people would even call bullying, or you know, a
- 17:32Speaker 2: bullying tactic to try and remove him from under a tent.
- 17:35Speaker 2: And these are things that were that are going to
- 17:37Speaker 2: be re explored as the appeal goes on. But I
- 17:40Speaker 2: thought that the way it was Khalifa had the conversation
- 17:43Speaker 2: with his son around us knowing what you know is
- 17:47Speaker 2: happening in the world right now, I thought that it was.
- 17:49Speaker 2: It was a really good parent moment.
- 17:53Speaker 8: Let's take a listen, And that's not always a reason
- 17:56Speaker 8: to fight. Sometimes people are gonna talk shit and sometimes
- 17:58Speaker 8: y'all gonna go back and forth. But that don't mean
- 18:00Speaker 8: you gotta use your hands all right.
- 18:02Speaker 5: Uh, I'm not.
- 18:03Speaker 6: Gonna resort to that, like immediately, if you I I
- 18:06Speaker 6: where everybody is.
- 18:07Speaker 7: If he puts his hands on me first.
- 18:09Speaker 2: I'm gonna or like, I'm not gonna put my hands
- 18:13Speaker 2: off you first. I'm just I'm gonna do that because.
- 18:15Speaker 7: I'm gonna like that.
- 18:16Speaker 8: I know you're nothing.
- 18:17Speaker 2: I know you're nothing.
- 18:18Speaker 8: Thank you for calling me.
- 18:19Speaker 6: He's like an aggressive person, so I know he's gonna
- 18:22Speaker 6: try to fight me, and if he tries to fight me,
- 18:24Speaker 6: I'm gonna do the share.
- 18:31Speaker 8: You already heard what I said about de escalating this situation, right, Yeah,
- 18:35Speaker 8: well I tried, but we we on that, all right. Yeah, Okay, Well,
- 18:43Speaker 8: thank you for calling me and let me know, but
- 18:45Speaker 8: I really don't want you to be getting into the
- 18:47Speaker 8: rumbles like that, especially just out in the streets and
- 18:50Speaker 8: just like randomly like that.
- 18:51Speaker 2: Because you you you.
- 18:53Speaker 8: Never know, man, like it could go so many different
- 18:55Speaker 8: types of ways. So that's you know, I'm all. I'm
- 18:59Speaker 8: all about like protecting yourself and a little scrap ain't nothing.
- 19:04Speaker 8: But if it's if it's something you can avoid, just
- 19:07Speaker 8: do your best, all right.
- 19:09Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean again, this is one of those things
- 19:11Speaker 2: where we just got that when it comes to Carmelo
- 19:13Speaker 2: Anthony's case for the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf, where
- 19:18Speaker 2: gonna have to whyt try this appeal turns out what
- 19:20Speaker 2: I think, and this is me removing my like factual hat.
- 19:25Speaker 3: Right.
- 19:26Speaker 2: Where I think the appellate team should go is I
- 19:32Speaker 2: think that they definitely need to do a lot better
- 19:34Speaker 2: at painting Carmelo Anthony as a person. I feel like
- 19:40Speaker 2: the prosecution in the lower courts that convicted him did
- 19:43Speaker 2: a really good job of making him out to be
- 19:45Speaker 2: a monster. And when you listen to that video, the
- 19:50Speaker 2: you know, the security footage, there's another part of security
- 19:52Speaker 2: foota too, where he's talking about the fact that he
- 19:54Speaker 2: was defending himself against Austin who he alleged put his
- 19:58Speaker 2: hands on him.
- 19:59Speaker 1: Let's take lesson to that.
- 20:14Speaker 2: When you listen and stuff like that, it's like these
- 20:16Speaker 2: were two young kids that were just in the moment.
- 20:20Speaker 3: Uh.
- 20:20Speaker 2: Carmela Anthony is obviously in fear. You can hear it
- 20:23Speaker 2: in his voice, and I don't I don't think that
- 20:26Speaker 2: his legal team on a lower level did a good
- 20:28Speaker 2: job of paying that picture at all. So I think
- 20:31Speaker 2: that that's where the peloteam should focus a lot of
- 20:34Speaker 2: the time and attention to. I think, you know, there
- 20:38Speaker 2: was a lot of conversation about the fact that the
- 20:40Speaker 2: knife was involved in it was a stabbing. I think,
- 20:43Speaker 2: you know, more conversation about the weapon itself and what
- 20:47Speaker 2: it was versus how it was portrayed prior to Like,
- 20:51Speaker 2: I just think that before everything was made to be
- 20:54Speaker 2: this like vicious attack where it's like, you know, you
- 20:58Speaker 2: never want a kid to lose their life, and that's
- 21:00Speaker 2: this is hard to talk about because it's like you
- 21:01Speaker 2: don't want to go against the fact that you never
- 21:03Speaker 2: want a kid to lose their life. You never want
- 21:05Speaker 2: anyone to lose their life. You never want a parent
- 21:07Speaker 2: to have to bury their child, and those are all
- 21:12Speaker 2: things to be considered. But when people had conversations around
- 21:16Speaker 2: the knife that Carmela Anthony had on him, it wasn't
- 21:19Speaker 2: made clear that it was you know, it was a
- 21:21Speaker 2: pocket knife, that it wasn't illegal for him to have.
- 21:24Speaker 2: That is something that people care for protection all the time. Now.
- 21:27Speaker 2: I've heard testimony during the lower level court situation where
- 21:33Speaker 2: they had a conversation about whether that was needed or not,
- 21:35Speaker 2: like why would you need to take that to attract me?
- 21:38Speaker 2: But I also think the appellotine needs to really really
- 21:42Speaker 2: help the jury understand or the panel of judges and
- 21:45Speaker 2: at the appeals you know, part of this understand or
- 21:49Speaker 2: just be a little bit empathetic too. However, they can
- 21:51Speaker 2: do that the fact that this is a young black boy,
- 21:55Speaker 2: so the fears are a little bit different when you're
- 21:57Speaker 2: walking out into the world every day, and that matters
- 22:01Speaker 2: in this rightly. And I don't think that that was
- 22:03Speaker 2: done one either. So you know, we'll we'll look, you know,
- 22:06Speaker 2: to see what happens in this. We'll keep up with it.
- 22:09Speaker 2: We'll be talking about it here on The Latest with
- 22:10Speaker 2: Laura and Rosa the podcast. And let me know your thoughts.
