A teenage boy’s split-second decision to pull a knife from his backpack has landed him a decades-long prison sentence.
In a trial that captured national attention, Karmelo Anthony was sentenced to 35 years behind bars for violently ending the life of Austin Metcalf at a track meet in Texas.
“For journalists, activists, this is a story. For our family, this is our reality,” the victim’s mother, Meghan Metcalf, said in court.
