Sure, likely to end an avenue for an appeal.

So no chance of appeal unless they can find fault in system, correct?

They have to (and certainly will) find a point of appeal where Anthony didn’t receive a fair trial because __________(fill in the blank).

 The Black women who were struck by the prosecution, faulty jury instructions, jury misconduct, evidence allowed that should have been excluded, etc.

Agree. Any guess at how long it will take for sentencing…..days, weeks?

Hours…..

In Texas there is a second trial that starts immediately if there is a guilty verdict and if the defendant chooses the jury to set punishment.

Both sides will call witnesses to testify on behalf of the state and defense. They will try to convince the Jury to give a more harsh sentence or a more lenient sentence. Basically it is a trial of character witnesses.

It really shouldn’t last very long as both sides should be able to make their case fairly quickly. Mama will probably get up there and say my son is a good kid and he just made a mistake and other such witnesses. The prosecution will try to show bad conduct like in trouble at school, a previous criminal history, etc., and ask for significant time in prison, probably even life.

The Jury, will then go back and decide what the fate of Anthony is. I don’t know what the defense will bring up however, I think the penalty range will be 2-99 years or life.
