Ep. 1826 - INSANE: Prosecutors In Karmelo Anthony Case Hid The Most Damning Evidence — The Matt Walsh Show

Matt Walsh criticizes the Collin County prosecutor for withholding Carmelo Anthony’s threatening text messages and violent history from the jury to avoid a "racial tinderbox" during the trial of the white teen Austin Metcalf. Walsh argues this secret "gentleman's agreement" violated the adversarial justice system by burying evidence of premeditation while allowing the defense to introduce irrelevant character attacks against the deceased victim.
