Even life in prison wouldn't get Austin back. The damage is done. KA is a dumbass and the people that support him are even bigger dumbasses. It's like fighting Iran. They are programmed to see things that aren't true. People that see race in everything are brain dead and in need of some serious reprogramming.

I wonder if they will bother to try an appeal or if his parents don't care. Sounds like they weren't even there for final sentencing. Not that there's grounds for an appeal.

Had to serve minimum half.

Probably have to be a choir boy to get first shot parole

OK, yes sorry I caught up with everything. He'll still only be 36 by the time he gets out but he'll be a very different person. I really think he thought he was going to walk or get a very light sentence before the trial started. Once it started going the way it did. I hope he prepared himself.

Hopefully there won't be any riots.

The tweets saying his heads down, shaking uncontrollably... The FO phase is not sitting well with him

---

The fact that he clearly wasn't at all prepared for this is the most concerning part for me. I'm sure his attorneys tried to warn him and the family that the case against him was strong and prison time was almost assuredly inevitable. The fact that they refused to listen shows a level of disconnect that should concern everyone.

It's not surprising. Consider a family and young adult who thought what he did was justified and showed no remorse, lived up their dem charity grift, and stood by while family spokespeople race baited.

Trash kid from a trash family.

"People think that grief is sadness but its not. IT"S RAGE!!! (slamming his hands on the table.) Pure unfiltered rage,' he shouts.
"You failed your parents, your failed yourself and you failed society, You don't belong in this community," he says to Karmelo.
"You're going to prison, You can't even look me in the eyes right now but you can stab my fu**ing son in the heart."

KA parents were probably trying to get to whatever rally was planned so they can be consoled, err... further enriched with sympathy donations from his supporters. They best get on this quickly because in a very short time their son will be in prison and they'll be of no use to anybody. Again...

35, will have to serve 17.5 before parole eligibility. I think this was a good outcome for Anthony. He will have a shot at living a life after getting out.

Hopefully he will be killed in prison.

Or prison ministry works and Jesus finds him. Jesus works where parents, community and self didn't

Wow. Not much else to say after that.

Dad obviously didn't consult polyn cam prior to his statement.

Being a father and reading that made me tear up a bit. I can't imagine the grief, and think I'd be filled with rage as well.

Gut wrenching, could have been any of the parents of kids under that tent.

That's a strong man defending his family. You know that Mom is too emotionally wrecked to even try.

Hunter Metcalf asked Karmelo Anthony to look at him during this victim impact statement.
“If you could just look me in the eye while I speak, I would really respect that,” Hunter said.
Karmelo looked down the entire time Austin spoke.

this one makes me sad and furious. KA is a coward and still believes hes the victim

The thug robbed Austin's entire life, many decades. The sentence is way too light.

When you take a life (and it is not accidental), the sentence should be death. When there is no doubt as to the person who did it, the sentence should be carried out the next day.

mom's statement

"You may have just been given a sentence of 35 years behind bars. You can consider yourself lucky because I've been sentenced to a lifetime without my son,' Austin Metcalf's mother speaks directly to Karmelo Anthony during the victim impact statements.

That family has been a class act since Day 1. I can't imagine the absolute blinding rage they feel daily. That's a pretty articulate statement.

He's lucky he's going to prison, and not into a room with Jeff Metcalf.

Damn that's a pretty full day by gubmint standards. Closing arguments at 11am, verdict by 2pm, sentencing by 730pm.

Not bad, but I suppose the case was really open/shut when nearly a dozen witnesses said things went exactly as expected and even the defensive witness admitted that Karmelo was acting provocatively.

The courtTV coverage was absolutely ridiculous. "He had a knife and he only used it once...!" by some lunatic white guy who acted apoplectic that he was even found guilty in the first place. 90 seconds prior, he was predicting that a 3-hour jury deliberation signaled that he would be not-guilty. That's how far gone these trashcan brained idiots are at this point. No reasonable person would assume that he was acting in self-defense, even one of the 3 witnesses the defense brought to the stand...The prosecution had him dead-to-rights because there was no other explanation than he went there to act tough and harm a white person.

The only people that were surprised by this are the ones that didn't pay attention to any of this, and only received information from their SOC-MED algorithms.

KA deserves the death penalty. So do his parents.

Wanted life with no parole. Hate crime is what would have done it but somehow our fair justice system doesn't include violence against whites as "hate".

---

This is overthinking it, black kids kill other black kids just as flippantly all the time. Way more often in fact.

This was an impulsive act of violence by someone trying to "keep it real" and believing he was defending his reputation. He wasn't gonna be made to leave by anyone. If a black kid on the track team had done it we'd likely be in the exact same spot just with little to no media interest. I think the assumption that he stabbed Metcalf because he was white is both unfounded and missing the point.

---

you think Austin Metcalf being white had nothing to do with why Karmelo stabbed him?

He'll need to do more than just behave to be out by 40. If he's a model prisoner he may get out at 25 years of his 35.

---

Still a pretty good deal for him given the facts of the case. If he lives to be 80 he'll end up spending less than one third of his life in prison for stabbing a kid to death. For virtually all of human history he'd be executed behind the prison tomorrow at dawn.
