There
was silence in the courtroom as Circuit Court
Judge Carl Taul handed down a 110-year sentence
to Brian L. Tyler on Monday morning, January
29.Although Prosecutor Ric Hertel requested
123 years, he said he felt that justice had
been served with the 110 year sentence. In December,
a jury found Tyler guilty on five counts of
child molesting that involved five children
from two separate families.

people are used to here.
