Parents of Michigan school shooter Ethan Crumbley both sentenced to 10-15 years for involuntary manslaughter

PONTIAC, Mich. — The first parents to ever be charged, then convicted, in their child’s mass shooting at a U.S. school were both sentenced Tuesday to 10 to 15 years in prison after facing the victims during a sentencing hearing in a Michigan courtroom.

James and Jennifer Crumbley were sentenced one after another by Circuit Court Judge Cheryl Matthews as they appeared together for the first time since they attended joint hearings before their landmark trials were separated last fall. Their son, Ethan, now 17, pleaded guilty as an adult to the 2021 shooting at Oxford High School in suburban Detroit and was sentenced to life in prison.

Oakland County prosecutors had asked Matthews to sentence both Crumbley parents to 10 to 15 years in prison on four counts of involuntary manslaughter, one for each of the students their son killed.

The couple sat apart at the defense table with their lawyers beside them as the families of the four students who were killed asked for the maximum sentence to be imposed.

That's a hefty sentence for Involuntary Manslaughter.

Not long enough for these gunners.

I'm glad that they are doing time. But I must admit, I'm not sure that the kid should forever be locked up.

The culprits are actually Smith & Wesson but that's all lost in the details.

You might if he had murdered your child.

I'm fully aware. That is why our legal system does not place victims on the jury or as the adjudicator, but gives them an option to make their case.

How society saves itself from itself by shunting aside a youth is hard to fathom.
