Karmelo Anthony is sentenced to 35 years in prison last night by a Collin County, Texas jury for the murder of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet last year. He will be eligible for parole after serving half of that sentence. The sentence coming after jurors first convicted Anthony of murder, rejecting his claim that he stabbed Metcalf in self-defense. The verdict coming after less than three hours of deliberation.
Anthony facing a range of five to 99 years behind bars. We spoke to the MK True Crime Show host, Dave Aronberg, who says the speed of the verdict told him a lot.

**Dave Aronberg** (3:31)
I was not surprised. You can also tell by the quick verdict that this was going to be a guilty verdict on the most serious charge. The evidence was really strong. The fact that the defendant did not take the stand, I think that was the end for him because I have never seen a self-defense claim in a murder case where the defendant did not take the stand.

**Emily Jushenski** (3:55)
After the verdict, an unusual turn. In Texas, a defendant has the option of letting the judge decide his sentence or putting that decision into the hands of the jury that just convicted him.
Anthony's defense, choosing the jury. Aronberg understands why the defense may have wanted to avoid leaving his fate to the judge.

**Dave Aronberg** (4:13)
The judge was a very no-nonsense, law and order judge who asked questions that were pushing the boundaries, like trying to ask people if they believed in American exceptionalism and that's the kind of judge I can understand a defense lawyer may not want to be the one to choose the sentence.

**Emily Jushenski** (4:32)
During the sentencing phase yesterday, the defense calling Anthony's mother to the stand, where she tearfully pled for mercy, telling jurors her son has shown remorse. Aronberg believes that kind of testimony can matter to a jury.
