Bluefield Beckley Oak Hill, WV, October 19, 2026 —

Sherie Titchenell, who was convicted in the 2018 death of 8-year-old Raylee Browning, has asked a judge at the Fayette County Courthouse to change her prison sentence to supervised probation.

Titchenell’s attorney argued that she has shown remorse and completed rehabilitation programs, according to the information provided about the petition. The specific programs and details supporting the attorney’s argument were not provided.

Browning’s mother is actively opposing the request. The information provided does not include her stated reasons or any response from Titchenell’s attorney beyond the argument about remorse and rehabilitation.

The petition asks the judge to alter Titchenell’s sentence. No decision on the request was provided, and it is not known from the available information when the judge may rule. The length and terms of Titchenell’s current prison sentence, as well as the specific conditions she could face under supervised probation, were also not provided.

The information does not identify the judge, give further details about the conviction, or describe the circumstances of Browning’s death. It also does not say whether a hearing has been scheduled or whether additional filings have been made. Until the court rules, the request remains a petition rather than an approved change to Titchenell’s sentence.
