Austin Metcalf's father is speaking out after a judge denied Karmelo Anthony's request for a new trial in the fatal stabbing of his then-17-year-old son at a Texas high school track meet.

In an exclusive interview with ABC News, Jeff Metcalf said he does not believe the conviction and prison sentence can bring his family justice.

"No. There's no such thing. I got handed a life sentence," Metcalf said when asked whether he felt he received justice.
