Austin Metcalf's Dad Slams 'The View' Host Sunny Hostin Over Karmelo Anthony Case

Jeff Metcalf said Sunny Hostin was wrong to suggest Karmelo Anthony may appeal his murder conviction and 35-year sentence.

  • Karmelo Anthony was recently sentenced to 35 years for the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf during a 2025 high school track meet, following his murder conviction.
  • The jury rejected Anthony's self-defense claim, finding he was the aggressor who entered the team's tent and dared Metcalf to 'Touch me, see what happens.'
  • Sports personality Stephen A. Smith criticized those justifying the killing, stating Anthony had 'no business having a knife' at the track meet and must be held accountable.
  • Jeff Metcalf blasted 'The View' host Sunny Hostin on 'The Will Cain Show,' accusing her of 'looking to monetize the death of my son' and offering to debate her.
  • Hostin argued the trial lacked a Black juror and suggested appeal grounds, though Megyn Kelly dismissed the claims as 'total nonsense,' citing Supreme Court precedent on jury composition.
