Bratcher entered an Alford plea on four of the five counts, including first-degree manslaughter.
An Alford plea means the person charged admits that the evidence would likely find them guilty if presented to a jury, but still maintains their innocence.
Bratcher was sentenced to several 10-year sentences that will run at the same time.
