The TDCJ said in a statement to The Dallas Morning News that Robinson\u2019s comments undercut the department in a way that was deemed unacceptable, and after a review of her public statements, she was fired.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese statements are incompatible with TDCJ policy and values.

Anthony, 19, was convicted for the murder of Austin Metcalf, 17 \u2014 whom he fatally stabbed at a high school track meet \u2014 and was sentenced to 35 years in prison.<\/p>\n
