Part One: The Road From Summons to Verdict
BLACKPRESSUSA – For many Black observers, the defining moment of the Karmelo Anthony trial wasn’t the 35-year sentence — it was learning that not one of the eighteen jurors seated to judge him was Black. Danielle Bess traces how such a panel came to be.
By: Danielle Bess, Esq
In the murder trial of Karmelo Anthony, the witnesses were not the only ones who took an oath. The citizens chosen as jurors also swore oaths. First, they swore to answer honestly during jury selection. Then, once seated, they took the juror’s oath prescribed by Texas law: “You and each of you do solemnly swear that in the case of the State of Texas against the defendant, you will a true verdict render according to the law and the evidence, so help you God.”
The facts of the case are known in Texas and in many African American communities: in April 2025, 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony fatally stabbed Austin Metcalf, also 17, after a confrontation at a high school track meet in Frisco. Anthony, who is Black, said he acted in self-defense. Metcalf was white. Anthony was charged with murder, tried in Collin County, convicted, and sentenced to 35 years. But the deeper story is one that is even more familiar: a Black defendant accused of harming a white victim, claiming self-defense, judged by a jury with no Black members.
The road from jury summons to oath to verdict has been the source of intense criticism and speculation in the Anthony case, in large part because not one member of the jury that judged the evidence was Black. In this series, we examine the jury selection process, how the makeup of that jury and the public’s perception of it shaped the outcome, and how it may determine the success of Anthony’s appeal.
Attorney Tiffany Burks knows the process from both sides. She spent 25 years as a prosecutor in the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office, rising to the number-three position, and has spent the last three years representing defendants. She is now a candidate for Tarrant County District Attorney, challenging the incumbent who defeated her in 2022.
Burks summed up jury selection as a process of “deselection” each side working to eliminate the people it believes will not be sympathetic to its case.
When I asked Burks whether race is part of the process, she was candid. “Yes,” she said, and “anyone who says differently [is] not telling you the truth.” She went further: “If you can show me one prosecutor who has never thought about [race], I can show you a prosecutor who is lying.”
For many Black observers, the defining moment of the Karmelo Anthony case was not learning the verdict. It was learning the jury’s composition. Patrice (who asked that only her middle name be used), a Black resident of Collin County for more than 20 years, described her reaction when she heard there were no Black jurors: “Wow, that does not sound right.” She told me the county has a strong Black community, people who vote, who are educated, and who show up. The jury did not reflect the county she knows.
Her concern was not misplaced. Studies of criminal trial outcomes have documented that Black defendants who face jury pools without Black members are more likely to be convicted. A 2012 study of Florida felony trials published in the Quarterly Journal of Economics found that when the jury pool contained no Black members, Black defendants were convicted 81 percent of the time, compared to 66 percent for white defendants. When the pool included even one Black potential juror, the gap all but disappeared.
Census records show Collin County had a population of nearly 1.3 million as of July 2025. Roughly 76 percent—about 986,000 people—are adults. Using the Census Bureau’s non-overlapping categories, the county is approximately 49.6 percent white, 18.7 percent Asian, 16.1 percent Hispanic, and 10.8 percent Black, with the remainder multiracial or another race. A 12-person jury that mirrored the county would seat roughly six white jurors, two Asian jurors, two Hispanic jurors, one Black juror, and one multiracial juror. Half of the jury would be composed of people of color.
In Texas, prospective jurors are drawn from lists of registered voters and holders of a Texas driver’s license or state identification card. Whether you are summoned is a matter of luck, good or bad, depending on your perspective. The Secretary of State sends each county a list of prospective jurors, and the District Clerk then randomly selects citizens to receive a summons and questionnaire. The Collin County District Clerk’s website says the office strives to provide “a fair and impartial jury in every case.”
According to Collin County Jury Services, the questionnaire can be completed online. MarQuetta A. Clayton, a criminal defense attorney who practices in neighboring Tarrant County, said electronic access itself can be a barrier to service: “Everyone does not have access,” she said, and a significant number of people are excluded from jury service as a result.
Texas law also narrows who may serve. Jurors must be citizens, residents of the county, and able to read and write, and they must not have “been convicted of, or be under indictment or other legal accusation for, misdemeanor theft or a felony.” Once those disqualifications are factored in, the pool of eligible adults shrinks well below 76 percent of the population.
Then citizens begin excluding themselves, claiming exemptions Texas makes available: being over 75, caring for a child under 12 without adequate childcare, being a college student, a member of the military, or a caretaker are a few.
Clayton said it is not unusual to end up with a jury without Black members in Tarrant County, where she practices, a county demographically similar to Collin County. She has also observed Black jurors trying to “get off the jury.” The impulse to avoid jury service is not unique to Black citizens. But simple arithmetic amplifies its effect: when the proportion of Black citizens in the pool is small to begin with, every excusal cuts deeper.
Patrice’s own history illustrates how the funnel narrows. In more than 20 years in Collin County, she has been summoned twice. The first time, she was excused as a breastfeeding mother. The second time, she forgot the date, called the clerk after missing it, and was told she would be considered for future service.
Burks, who picked juries for a quarter century as a prosecutor, explained how jurors of color fare in the deselection process. Prosecutors view them as “less trusting of the police, less trusting of the system, so if they end up on the jury, for the prosecution, that could be problematic, because it’s an additional hurdle that the prosecution has to make.”
It was widely reported that approximately 589 prospective jurors were summoned for the Anthony trial. If that random selection mirrored Collin County, the pool would have included roughly 292 white, 110 Asian, 95 Hispanic, and 64 Black prospective jurors.
The summons is only the beginning. Once jurors arrive and their questionnaires are reviewed, some are dismissed for cause because they fall into an exemption or because they report they cannot be fair.
Voir dire is the phase when the attorneys for each side question the panel directly. The judge reportedly gave each side one hour and thirty minutes. The questions reportedly ranged from the social media storm surrounding the trial to its racial dimensions. According to courtroom reporting by CBS Texas, one panelist stated he would have a hard time putting a “brother” in jail.
After questioning, each side exercises its peremptory strikes, which permits the removal of potential jurors for any reason at all, except race or gender. In a Texas non-capital felony trial, each side gets ten. We know the prosecution used three of its ten to strike the three remaining Black prospective jurors. The State’s stated reason: the three were educators, too closely connected to the school setting where the stabbing occurred.
Burks told me her own thinking about race and jurors evolved over her career as a prosecutor. With experience came a realization: “There are a lot of pro-state, pro-police African American people. And you realize, I could have been getting rid of very good African American people.”
At the end of jury selection in the Karmelo Anthony case, a jury of twelve was seated, along with six alternates. Not one of the eighteen was Black.
If Burks is right, if a prosecutor who claims race plays no role in jury selection is not telling the truth, then it is reasonable to conclude that in a case like Karmelo Anthony’s, the race of the jurors was on the minds of both sides.
In the next article, I will examine who was struck, what we know about them, and whether the answers give Karmelo Anthony a path to a successful appeal.

Mathew Knowles Shares Breast Cancer Survival Story at Houston’s Inaugural Pearl’s Pink Promise Gala
Breast cancer survivor Dr. Mathew Knowles shared his journey of early detection and self-advocacy at Houston’s inaugural Pearl’s Pink Promise Gala, hosted by Dr. Ashley LaRue to honor her grandmother and raise awareness about breast cancer.
On Friday, October 16, Houston-based therapist and television personality Dr. Ashley LaRue hosted the inaugural Pearl’s Pink Promise Gala at the Omni Hotel—turning personal grief into an urgent public health movement.
The gala honored the memory of LaRue’s grandmother, Pearline, who passed away from breast cancer in 2025. What began as a granddaughter’s tribute became an all-pink, curated experience with a pink-carpet arrival, a cocktail reception, and a room packed with advocates, survivors, and civic leaders.

Throughout the evening, 15 distinguished honorees were recognized for their resilience and service. But the night’s emotional centerpiece was the guest of honor: global music executive, author, and breast cancer survivor Dr. Mathew Knowles.
In 2019, Dr. Knowles publicly revealed his diagnosis, shattering cultural taboos around male breast cancer. During an intimate 30-minute fireside chat moderated by Dr. LaRue, Knowles delivered a candid, masterclass-level lesson on self-advocacy. He recounted the exact moment he knew something was wrong after noticing blood on his shirt—a warning sign that prompted him to immediately request comprehensive testing.
Knowles reflected on the difficult conversations that followed with his daughters and family, emphasizing that early detection and understanding personal genetic risk saved his life. The conversation quickly shifted into an open exchange with the room, leaving several attendees moved to tears as audience members shared their own experiences with diagnosis and caregiving.
“This experience has made me so proud, and my heart is filled with joy,” Dr. LaRue shared.
For LaRue, Pearl’s Pink Promise isn’t a one-and-done October event. Moving forward, she plans to expand the initiative to include year-round safe spaces, community resources, and educational programs tailored to both men and women navigating complex medical diagnoses.

In partnership with Rise East and the 40×40 Council, Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee held a special 2026 State of the City East Oakland community conversation on Oct. 14.
The purpose of bringing a State of the City address directly to the community was to celebrate East Oakland, highlight the work underway, and look ahead to what neighbors, local businesses, youth, funders, community organizations, and partners can accomplish together.
Held at the Roots Community Health/Parker Elementary School Campus at 7929 Ney Ave., the event was emceed by special guest Mark Curry, Oakland native, comedian, and actor.
Lee shared how Rise East and the 40×40 Council have brought together the knowledge, relationships, and resources of people and organizations committed to East Oakland.
Residents bring lived experience, community organizations bring trusted relationships and philanthropy, and businesses bring resources and opportunity, she said, then turned to the government’s role: public investment, services and policy.
But, Lee intoned, City Hall has a responsibility to help connect those efforts.
“I am committed to listening to residents, working across departments and sectors, and helping open doors to opportunity. We must connect neighborhood priorities to the decisions we make about housing, economic development, safety, health and our young people.
City Hall “must be accountable for the results,” Lee said. “The measure of success is what families experience: greater stability, more opportunity and a stronger sense that they belong and have a future here.
“Tonight is an opportunity to listen to the leaders doing this work, learn what is making a difference and identify where we can do more together,” the mayor said.
Lee went on to moderate a ‘fireside chat’ on the theme: Building Oakland’s Future Together — From Neighborhood Investment to Community Empowerment with:
- Selena Wilson, CEO, East Oakland Youth Development Center
- Greg Hodge, CEO, Brotherhood of Elders
- Carolyn “CJ” Johnson, CEO, Black Cultural Zone
- Dr. Noha Aboelata, CEO, Roots Health Center

Practitioners of African Traditional Spirituality Offer Ancestral Reverence Ritual Oct. 31
The Council for Global Ancestral Reverence will host “Ancestral Souls Rising” from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2, featuring a three-day gathering of prayer and discussion. Led by elders and priests across the African diaspora, the seventh annual ritual honors those lost without traditional rites while addressing current social challenges. This year’s event connects ancestral wisdom with contemporary issues, including a two-day conversation inspired by Afro-Beat music focused on Black community solidarity and the sacred importance of voting. Read more for details on the ritual schedule and participants.
The Council for Global Ancestral Reverence (C4GAR), a group of elders who practice African traditional spirituality, will lead a three-day gathering of prayer and discussion from Oct. 31-Nov. 2.
Called ‘Ancestral Souls Rising,’ the council members and 21 priests will lead the prayers from many parts of the African diaspora: Africa, Portugal, and across the U.S. from Maryland to the Bay Area.
Now in its seventh year, the annual ritual began during the 2020 pandemic when hundreds of thousands of people died alone and were buried in mass graves without rites and rituals according to loved ones’ traditions.
This prayer event was and is intended to give peace to the departed and comfort for the living who still mourn. Each year, we gather names of new ancestors from living elders to elevate them into the “Great Hall of the Titans.”
In ensuing years, C4GAR added themes to the prayer gathering that referenced current events. In 2024, before the consequential presidential election, C4GAR called on people to vote, invoking the memory of Civil Rights Movement heroes and heroines like John Lewis, who urged “Good Trouble,” and Fannie Lou Hamer, who famously declared that she was “sick and tired of being sick and tired.”
The day of global Prayer on Oct. 31 will be followed by a two-day conversation inspired by “The Blueprint,” an Afro-Beat song by UyiosaEl, to write our new blueprint that supports solidarity and action in the Black community.
“Our elders have, for many generations, known the power of prayer, ritual and breath,” the council said in a statement.
It was and is their intention, then, to use the cultural wisdom, the gift of prayer “and the most sacred thing we have, our breath, to send energy into the world that invokes and honors our ancestors,” the council statement continued.
“Doing this creates a vibration that protects us and employs their ancient wisdom for the well-being of our communities,” the elders said.
The councilmembers, all over the age of 60, recognize that what is now history for so many was once their lived experience. And that history, those joys and sorrows, are now in their bodies.
To them, the uttered prayer and the sacred breath are oaths to an unfolding future that people can still shape.
The council members are Dr. Iyabeji Cathy Royal, Iyalocha Jennifer Dillard, Manbo Charlene Desir (Florida), Nana Sula Spirit (Louisiana), Baba Obafemi Feyemi, Ohen Nedra T. Williams, and Iyalocha Wanda Ravernell-Stewart Emeritus (Oakland).
This year, they also encourage everyone within their reach to VOTE because it is not only a secular and political act, but a sacred one. Remember, the ancestors were denied that right and died for it.

It’s Time to Lose Weight Before the Holidays
Licensed internist Dr. H. Geoffrey Watson has joined gastroenterologist Dr. Ralph Peterson at Oakland’s MacArthur GI to address the rising obesity epidemic. With U.S. obesity rates reaching 42.4%, the clinic offers supervised weight-loss programs and screenings for fatty liver disease. Treatments include dietary counseling and various medications, such as GLP-1 receptor agonists, which regulate digestion and appetite. As certain populations continue to be disproportionately affected by chronic health conditions, medical experts are highlighting new tools available to help patients reach their goals before the holiday season. Read more.
Dr. H. Geoffrey Watson, a licensed internist, has joined renowned gastroenterologist Dr. Ralph Peterson at MacArthur GI in Oakland to address obesity, provide supervised weight-loss programs including GLP-1 therapy, and screen for and treat fatty liver disease.
The Obesity Epidemic
Obesity is associated with numerous chronic health problems, including hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnea, asthma, depression, joint disorders, fatty liver disease, and high cholesterol. Its causes include genetics, environment, stress, medication side effects, hormonal imbalances, and other factors.
Since 1999, the prevalence of obesity in the United States has risen from 30.5% to 42.4%. Childhood obesity rates are also climbing, with approximately 19.3% of children and adolescents now affected.
Measuring Obesity: Body Mass Index
Obesity is measured using a formula called the Body Mass Index (BMI). You can calculate your own BMI on most smartphones by searching “BMI calculator” and entering your height and weight. A BMI of 25 to 29.9 is classified as overweight, and a BMI of 30 or greater is classified as obese.
Populations Disproportionately Affected
Obesity affects certain populations at higher rates. Among U.S. adults, obesity prevalence is 49.9% in Black adults, 45.6% in Hispanic adults, 41.4% in White adults, and 16.1% in Asian adults.
Treatment Options
A variety of treatments are available for obesity, including dietary counseling, exercise programs, bariatric surgery, and anti-obesity medications.
Common oral medications include:
• Adipex (phentermine): A stimulant that works by suppressing appetite.
• Contrave (bupropion/naltrexone): A combination of an antidepressant and an anti-addiction medication that helps control appetite and cravings.
• Qsymia (phentermine/topiramate): A combination of a stimulant and an anti-seizure medication that reduces appetite and cravings.
GLP-1 Receptor Agonist Therapy
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists were originally approved to treat type 2 diabetes. GLP-1 is a hormone produced naturally by the body that regulates digestion, blood sugar, and appetite by communicating with GLP-1 receptor cells throughout the digestive tract. These medications reduce cravings, appetite, and food intake by influencing the hunger hormones ghrelin, which stimulates hunger, and leptin, which signals fullness.
What We Offer
Drs. Peterson and Watson provide FDA-approved tirzepatide injections, a GLP-1 receptor agonist medication indicated for weight management. Each patient receives a comprehensive history and physical examination to ensure the safety and appropriateness of the medication as part of an overall weight-loss protocol. Dr. Peterson also offers ultrasound screening for fatty liver disease.
We look forward to helping you reach your weight-loss goals and feel your best this holiday season.
H. Geoffrey Watson, M.D., runs the MacArthur GI Clinic at 10520 MacArthur Blvd., Oakland, CA. He can be reached at (510) 562-7467.

Trader Vic’s Returns to Its Oakland Roots
Trader Vic’s, the internationally recognized brand and birthplace of the original Mai Tai, has officially returned to its roots in Oakland. Originally founded in 1934 on San Pablo Avenue before moving to Emeryville, the hospitality giant has launched Trader Vic’s Outpost at Oakland International Airport’s Terminal 2. The new full-service location offers travelers breakfast, lunch, dinner, and cocktails in a 108-seat space designed to celebrate the city’s status as a top national food destination. Visit the website to read more.
Oakland has always been a city of innovators, entrepreneurs, visionaries, and world-class hospitality. Trader Vic’s—the birthplace of the original Mai Tai – first opened in Oakland back in 1934 on San Pablo Avenue, long before becoming an internationally recognized global brand.
More than 50 years after it moved to Emeryville, Trader Vic’s is returning to its roots. Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee touts the return as another victory for Oakland.
“My administration is deeply committed to backing businesses like Trader Vic’s and Plum Market—partners who invest in our city, uplift our local workforce, and support thousands of local jobs,” Lee said.
The latest Trader Vic’s – called Trader Vic’s Outpost – is located at the Oakland International Airport in Terminal 2 near Gate 25 and had a soft opening in August.
With 108 dining seats, 28 bar seats and a counter for standing-room customers, travelers from around the world can have a full-service restaurant and bar experience or take-out for those with planes to catch.
Open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., breakfast, lunch, dinner, cocktails will be served.
Trader Vic’s returning to its roots confirms Condé Nast’s decision to name Oakland the #1 Food City in America two years in a row, and just earlier this month, ranked Oakland #6 on their list of Best Cities in the U.S.!
“The opening at OAK is incredibly meaningful for us,” said Rhett Rosen, CEO of Trader Vic’s Hospitality Group, according to the company website. “Trader Vic’s was born in the Bay Area, and this new location gives us the chance to welcome travelers with a taste of that original spirit before they take off. It brings together everything people love about Trader Vic’s — great cocktails, flavorful food, warm hospitality and a little sense of escape — in a place that connects Oakland to the world.”
Trader Vic’s is an Oakland institution and one of the region’s most recognizable hospitality brands, said Port of Oakland Director of Aviation Craig Simon on the web site.
“Travelers are increasingly seeking dining options that are memorable, locally rooted, and uniquely representative of the communities they are visiting. Trader Vic’s delivers all of that while providing a high-quality food and beverage experience for our guests. We are proud to welcome this hometown favorite to Terminal 2,”
The original Trader Vic’s in Oakland:
In 1934, with an investment of $500, Bergeron opened his initially small restaurant at 65th Avenue and San Pablo, serving comfort foods for lunch and dinner and beers and whiskeys. As his clientele grew, so did his restaurant, expanding space and menu options. After visiting this establishment, famed San Francisco Chronicle columnist Herb Caen proclaimed that the “best restaurant in San Francisco is in Oakland.”
There were as many as 25 franchises worldwide, including the U.S. Trader Vic’s is now headquartered in Martinez.

Oakland Coal Terminal Backed by Trump Would Be Bigger, Dirtier Than Promised, Says Report
A recent feasibility study commissioned by potential investors says an Oakland coal terminal backed by President Donald Trump could export 13 million tons a year — three times the amount estimated in an earlier environmental review.
Surprisingly, the report also contradicts developers’ and project advocates’ repeated pledges that the coal would be stored in a covered terminal. Instead, the millions of tons of coal shipped annually from inland states to the West Gateway terminal in Oakland would be stored in “two open-air bunkers,” with about 150,000 tons of coal per stockpile, before being sent overseas, according to the recent report cited by the L.A. Times. (https://ruic.utah.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Port-Study-RUIC-Bulk-Commodity-Ocean-Terminals-Study.pdf)
Residents and clean air advocates have long expressed concerns that coal dust would worsen pollution in West Oakland and throughout the East Bay.
The proposed site of the Oakland Bulk and Oversized Terminal (OBOT) is located at the former Army base near the Port of Oakland, which developer Phil Tagami has been trying for years to turn into a shipping terminal despite determined community opposition.
Trump announced a $75-million investment in the project in June, about a third of its estimated cost. The new terminal would be the largest coal export site on the West Coast, transporting coal to Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam and Malaysia, according to the Trump administration.
Opponents say a new terminal would undermine years of progress cleaning up the air in West Oakland, which has a history of disproportionate pollution and high asthma rates due to its proximity to the port and other industry.
According to No Coal in Oakland organizer Ted Franklin, who has been active for 11 years in the fight to stop the coal terminal, the report indicates that investors may be looking for a cheaper way to build the terminal.
“We were shocked but not surprised” by the report, Franklin said. “Basically, it seems that the plan now is to store open piles of coal, which is a less expensive project than creating a completely enclosed facility.”
The threats that the project poses are real, but it faces a lot of economic and legal hurdles, he said.
Coal production is in permanent decline worldwide, he said, wondering who was going to “invest money in an industry that has no future.”
Further, the project has not yet attracted big investors. “There’s no bank, no financing, no financial institution backing this,” he continued.
A major legal hurdle facing the project is the passage of Assemblymember Mia Bonta’s bill, AB 40, the Community-First Coal Review Act, signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sept. 30.
The law requires developers of large-volume bulk coal facilities to complete a full Environmental Impact Report (EIR) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) before they can operate.
The law was specifically designed to block or delay the coal terminal project.
The report to potential developers was produced by consulting groups Norda Stelo and Wood Mackenzie in July and released this month. It was commissioned by the Rural Utah Infrastructure Coalition, made up of eight Utah counties that are considering investing about $43 million into the terminal to receive Utah coal.
The consultants produced their findings after visiting Oakland, examining engineering documents and holding discussions with Savage Cos., a Utah-based transport and logistics company selected to operate the facility
Research has shown that coal terminal operations can be dangerous to public health. The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach moved away from open-air coal and petroleum coke storage three decades ago.
The report says that the site could process 12 million metric tons, or 13.2 million tons, of coal each year, three times more than the terminal’s approved environmental impact report from 2002 and its 2012 addendum. Neither document mentions coal specifically, but rather bulk commodities.
The coal arriving in Oakland could also be dirtier then had been previously stated, according to the report. Project officials previously said the terminal would handle only high-grade western bituminous coal from Utah, but the recent report says it will also handle Powder River Basin coal from Wyoming and Montana, known to be much dustier.
Nor does the report mention plans to cover the rail cars to prevent pollution, though project officials previously promised they would only utilize coal transported in covered rail cars.
“It appears the developers want to build something much bigger and more polluting than anything they previously revealed, either in court or to the West Oakland community,” said Colin O’Brien, deputy managing attorney at the nonprofit Earthjustice, speaking to the L.A. Times.
The report indicates that the project may be much more expensive and take longer to complete than anticipated. The Energy Department estimates the terminal will cost about $231 million, but the report places the price at between $430 million and $625 million.
The terminal will take 53 months to complete according to the report, significantly longer than Trump’s promise of exports beginning in 2028.
