News Center 7 talked to Braylen Tootle’s parents about this outcome.
“They asked us what we wanted and we told them we wanted jail time,” Taneshia Lindsay said.
Lindsay and Robert Tootle were in the courtroom during Sorrells’ sentencing.
“‘That school left me with those kids. I shouldn’t have been with those kids.’ That was the first thing out of that man’s mouth,” Lindsay said. “It was the first time I heard him talk and we could just tell, he wasn’t aware of what was really going on. That it was a severe situation. There was no emotion.”
