Megyn Kelly is joined by Sarah Fields, investigative journalist, Mark Eiglarsh, host of “Positively Legal,” and Viva Frei, former litigator and host, to discuss the disturbing reaction to the Karmelo Anthony murder verdict, comments from Anthony’s supporters alleging racial bias, some people completely ignoring the facts of the case while trying to racialize the trial, and more.

MEGYN KELLY: Meanwhile, this is what we’re hearing. OK, this is I have a lot of sound I want to get through because I want to show you we were all together yesterday. The reaction that we’re getting now in the wake of the verdict and the 35-year-old sentence for a 35-year sentence. Here is attorney Thelma Anderson. She went on Roland Martin’s YouTube show and said she’s an attorney. I don’t know where she went to law school or what her credentials are, but she’s a disgrace. THELMA ANDERSON, ATTORNEY, GUEST ON ROLAND MARTIN’S PODCAST: First and foremost, the one thing that I would ask for people to do at this moment is pray for the Anthony family because they have been legally lynched for the last year and more so by this slaughterhouse of a courthouse, as well as the family of the Metcalfs. So the energy right now is very white supremacy. They have shown up to be the pigs that they display with hate. They are celebrating the loss of life and the loss of freedom. So that’s the energy. We have a devastated family who didn’t know that they was going to have to let their son go back into a holdover. Because we have an overzealous prosecutor who lied throughout this trial, who put on liars as witnesses in order to be a saving grace for the white community so that they can win an election. KELLY: This is unbelievable. I don’t know. Viva, do you want to take that one? VIVA FREI, FORMER LITIGATOR: Well, I’ll just quote from Billy Madison. What we just heard is the most insanely idiotic I’ve ever heard. No point in that rambling nonsense. This is what the major issue is in terms of aggravating factors to the murder, the total lack of contrition. There was not one ounce of remorse, one moment of express regret. There’s some things that are irreversible and you can’t take them back, but you can certainly beg for forgiveness. But to mobilize and to weaponize manufactured racism, to victimize the victim again in death. I don’t know who the hell that woman is, but it’s not just insanely idiotic. It’s wildly dangerous to say that they’re celebrating the loss of life in the wake of a murder, and to suggest that any form of justice is white supremacy racism, as opposed to taking responsibility for that which is unforgivable and irreversible. But maybe if there was the slightest degree of contrition from anyone involved in that family, there might be some form of sympathy or openness to forgiveness from the family. That family, everyone representing them has made everything worse. And the idiots on the bandwagon jumping behind this manufactured garbage of racism and white supremacy in order to justify what Carmelo Anthony did, it adds insult to the injury. And the punishment is not harsh enough. Had he been a 17-year-old child, had he come out, begged for forgiveness, said, I don’t know why I did what I did, there was no reason for it, as opposed to an organized, orchestrated demonizing of the victim’s family, it’s absurd and it’s unforgivable. MEGYN KELLY: We have never heard him throughout this process say the words, I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I killed your son. Never. The closest we got was his mother on the stand yesterday after he’d been found guilty saying, being asked, does he regret what he did? Yes, he regrets. That’s it. With no color, not able to really explain how this has deeply affected him as a man. He understands that he’s taken the life of another man, a young man with his life ahead of him, and the pain that he’s inflicted on the Metcalf family. None of that, none of that. Instead, we have the family out there through their spokesperson, again, with these race lies. And now there are supporters like Thelma Anderson out there calling the Metcalfs white supremacists, pigs with hate, pigs with hate. Honestly, it’s like, I’m going to be nice and move on from her because she’s too stupid to spend a lot of time on. She’s not the only one, Mark. Yesterday, we heard this from a Karmelo Anthony supporter, on Austin’s brother, Hunter, outside of the courthouse. This is via Nick Sortor. Okay. You can’t really understand her, but what she’s saying is both of them should be dead, both of them. And honestly, it’s like, we’re hearing a lot about that as though somehow the twin brother for being the same size as Austin and being there, he didn’t do anything, but somehow he’s culpable too. It’s like, they need to find a demon here other than Karmelo Anthony. And they seem to have settled on, if not Sarah, in the case of the dad and spokesperson, the Metcalf family, the victims, Mark.
