Radio Host Roiled by Call for Lighter Sentence in Texas Teen Murder
TL;DR
ESPN/WWE commentator Peter Rosenberg faced widespread backlash after suggesting Karmelo Anthony should have received a lighter sentence for the Frisco, Texas murder of Austin Metcalf. Anthony, 19, was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to 35 years (potential parole after about 17). Rosenberg questioned whether the family would be better off, while critics argued the remarks minimize the victim’s family's pain; Anthony’s lawyers have filed an appeal.
