STRANGE BUT TRUE: Man who strangled 3yr old stepsister sentenced to 20 years in prison
The toddler's mother told police she found Carlton unresponsive after coming home from shopping. Medics attempted to revive the girl but were unsuccessful.
Insas Scales told her son at sentencing that she still loved him but "it was the devil that took ahold of you" the day Carlton died.
Brian Scales said it was a mistake what happened, but his mother told him "you don't mistakenly murder somebody."
