He’s lucky he only got that.
A Fox News article stated his parents weren’t in the room for the sentencing. They are despicable human beings and are clearly part of the problem. They have failed their son in so many ways.
didnt they get some big go fund me house??
Yes, if I remember BIG new house (rented though? )also a big $$$$ SUV of some kind. Witnessing & hearing dialogue from this family and it's supporters really give off shocking realizations of how far the entitlement and delusion have progressed for blacks in America. Racist seems mild in description.
Am I missing something? Juries do not typically do sentencing, that is the judge's role.
How sentencing works in Texas:
By default, the judge decides the sentence after a guilty verdict.
However, the defendant has the right to choose jury sentencing (also called the punishment phase to the jury). This choice is usually made before the trial begins. When the defendant elects jury sentencing, the same jury that decides guilt then hears additional evidence about punishment and sets the sentence within the legal range allowed by law.
In the Karmelo Anthony murder case, the defense elected jury sentencing, so the jury that convicted him also decided his 35-year prison sentence after hearing from both sides in the punishment phase.
This option has existed in Texas for a long time for most felony cases (except death penalty cases, which have their own rules). Many other states and the federal system leave sentencing only to the judge, which is why it can feel unfamiliar.
Victims family should sentence the shithead
Word!!!
Thanks. I guess if letting the jury do it is an option, that is smart for him... let suicidal empathy for a teen murderer get him out in 18 years so he can stab another white person on a subway. 🤦

Remember the white girl getting stabbed in the neck and dying as blacks walked away getting off the bus. Yeah, white people getting murdered for the sin of being white. Black communities thinking oh well, guess I will go home now. Steps over dying girl. Not my problem.
if he gets out in 17 years.... he wont' make it to 18 years.
17, you say?
Someone commented down in the thread that since he was 17 at time of crime, that's the max penalty under Texas law.
He hasn’t been sentenced yet.
It has been reported on most major networks.
I had just read his sentence hearing hadn’t been set. They do things fast in Texas!
Why we don't have death sentences anymore?
