So just throw him out like garbage. No chance for redemption. I just can't get with that line of thinking...ever.


If it makes you feel any better, you can dig him outta the trash in 35 years.

Megan Metcalf, the victim's mother, talked about raising two energetic, loving souls.

"Now I only have videos and memories of his laugh," she told Anthony.

She talked about the morning of the track meet. She said she packed her son a snack and gave him a hug without knowing it would be the last time she'd ever feel his arms around her.

"You may have been given a sentence of 35 years. You should feel lucky. I've been sentenced to a lifetime without my son," she said.

I have no reason to suspect he isn't remorseful and full of guilt.

I think this is a fair sentence. I also don't think he's getting out in 17.5 years anyway.

May he find peace in the Lord while he serves his punishment.

7:50 p.m. Metcalf's aunt speaks

Metcalf's aunt was the first to address Anthony for victim impact statements. She said April 2, 2025 is a day she'll never forget. The call from her sister, Metcalf's mom, still haunts her.

"The impact of his death is permanent," she said. "We will never know what he could have been."

She said her heart breaks for Metcalf's twin brother.

"Why could you not have just left?" she asked. "Reporters will move to other stories. For our family, this is not a story. It is a reality forever."

Wishful thinking. Black gangs will love him and they have more power now than white supremacist gangs in most prisons.

Jeff Metcalf, the victim's father, called his son a friend, a leader, and a true warrior.

"Since the day he first grabbed my finger, he had my heart with it," he said.

He talked about the joy he felt while watching both of his sons on the field at the same time. He also talked about a scholarship the family started in Metcalf's memory.

Jeff Metcalf also called the public response to his son's murder sickening. He said he's been the target of six swatting calls and Metcalf's mother has been targeted twice.

“With a gag order, I can't defend myself when people want to tear down my son's memory. That time is over!" he said. "I said from Day 1 this was never about race. It's about right and wrong. We are all humans. We all bleed the same color. You will face those consequences starting today."

lol that shite doesn't matter. I have 18 years of experience working 3 different prisons. I'm telling you, they will treat him good. The black gangs are so young and unorganized these days and don't even care about how or where you grew up. He will get respect from just what he did.

No, maybe Texas is completely different than my experience with NC and SC. Hope you are right.

It's not

They are just projecting fantasies

If he puts in work, he's just like anyone else. And the white gangs will likely understand the consequences of hurting him.

He’ll join the black gang and be fine like you said. But that will require him to hold shanks and whatnot so hopefully he’ll get caught and increase his time
