Ohio – An Ohio man was sentenced last week for his role in the death of his baby, Braston. The defendant pleaded guilty to felony charges of permitting child abuse and was sentenced from eleven to sixteen and a half years behind bars.
Initially, both the father and the child’s mom, 25-year-old Landon and 21-year-old AngeI, faced severe charges, including murder, aggravated assault, and child endangerment. However, following plea negotiations, they both pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of permitting child abuse. This plea deal resulted in reduced sentences, with the father sentenced between eleven and sixteen and a half years. The victim’s mom will be sentenced at a later date.
County Judge Douglas said during the sentencing: “Really the only thing this child experienced in this world was pain and suffering.
