Agree to disagree. This whole thread (and the sentiment reflected throughout larger society, as Matt Walsh has a pretty large audience) is evidence of the damage it's doing to him politically.
Then again, commenting on it could easily tip the scales to a mistrial. If he were to say "It's a tragedy what happened to Austin Metcalf; I trust our legal system to ensure that justice is served," that could be seen as tainting any jury pool and give an argument to the defense. Which hurts him on both political sides.
Not that the defense needs it. I don't see *any* evidence of a murder 1 conviction. Assuming Austin and dead nigger walking had no previous interaction, premeditation is basically completely out.
When he beats murder 1, he walks because they can't come back with a murder 2 charge. Then the "kill a White person and get $500k" society that we live in gets very interesting... the Chinese curse "may you live in interesting times" kind of interesting.
