Tony Jackson, Jr., 33, was in court on Tuesday to learn his sentence for the February 2025 killing of 34-year-old Matyka Brown.
“There is some justice because he’s behind bars, but 27 years is not enough, it’s not,” Melinda Grissom, Brown’s mother, said.
Jackson reached a plea deal with prosecutors to avoid a trial and, possibly, a longer sentence. Court documents show he pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated murder.
