Real Crime: Facebook Gangster Realizes He's Going To Prison For Life

In a chilling turn of events, 19-year-old Anthony Galia found himself at the center of a criminal investigation following a #Facebook Live video that would ultimately seal his fate. The video captures Anthony making a series of reckless and violent threats, declaring his intent to harm others. Just moments later, those threats tragically materialize when he breaks into a home, firing a handgun indiscriminately, resulting in the death of 26-year-old Britney Southwell, who was innocently sitting with her newborn.

During his police interrogation (above via Red Tree Stories), Anthony seems unaware of the gravity of his actions. He insists he was intoxicated and didn't mean to harm anyone, recounting a night fueled by alcohol and tension. As the detective probes deeper, Anthony's narrative reveals a chaotic evening involving his brother Noah, alleged threats, and the dangerous influence of his companion, Ashley Boardman. Anthony claims that Ashley's obsession with his brother drove them to the scene, further complicated by strained family dynamics and Anthony's mental health struggles.

Despite his attempt to deflect blame and minimize his actions, the evidence against Anthony is overwhelming. His own words and actions, broadcasted live, leave little room for doubt about his intentions that night. As the reality of his situation sets in, Anthony grapples with the consequences of his actions, expressing regret and acknowledging the irreversible impact of his decisions.

Ultimately, the jury finds Anthony guilty of first-degree felony murder, home invasion, and firearm possession. His defense team's argument for a lesser charge of manslaughter fails to sway the jury, resulting in a life sentence without parole. Anthony's story serves as a stark reminder of how a single reckless decision can irrevocably alter the course of a young life and devastate the lives of others.
