It could have been worse for Nathaniel Brazill. Judge Richard Wennet chose not to send the 14 year old to prison for the REST of his life...in the shooting death of his teacher Barry Grunow last year. Polly Powell/Brazill's mother "I know now my son will be coming home some day." the teenager will be in his early 40's when he's finally released from prison. He must then serve two years in a form of house arrest and another five years of probation. Robert Udell/Brazill's Defense Attorney "I figure we're going to spend about 1.2 million dollars on housing nathaniel, I promise you if you give me that 1.2 million dollars and send him home with me, I'm going to turn you out a college graduate." Despite his earlier calls for life without parole, the prosecutor refused to label the sentence a disappointment. Marc Shiner/Prosecutor "I can only hope and pray that nathaniel will come out of jail and never hurt anyone again." Brazill's sentence was just three years more than the legal minimum, but comes without the possibility of parole or time off for good behavior. Brazill's family says they'll appeal. to come.....Barry Grunow's widow was not in court. Grunow's sister however called the sentence...an insult to Barry's memory.
