The Progress Pulse

In today's episode, we discuss two cases that are currently in the media. Both cases involve self defense arguments from the defendants. On the one hand is Rick Chow, who was recently acquitted for the murder of Cyrus Carmack Belton. On the other hand, is the case of Karmelo Anthony, whose trial for the murder of Austin Metcalf. Racial tensions have continued to emerge in both cases, due to the unequal treatment of the victims and alleged killers. This raises serious questions as to what constitutes self defense. Only time will tell. We will continue to follow these cases as more information emerges. No Time to Sleep. Time to Circle Up.
