On April 9, 2024, Jennifer and James Crumbley were sentenced to 10-15 years for involuntary manslaughter linked to their son's school shooting in Michigan.

Victims' families voiced their anguish during the sentencing, with some advocating for the maximum penalty.

The parents expressed remorse in court, while Jennifer Crumbley partly blamed school officials for the incident.

The judge clarified that the sentence was due to the parents' negligence in heeding warning signs, not poor parenting per se.

Eligibility for parole for the Crumbleys starts after 10 years, with potential for a longer sentence for James Crumbley due to in-jail threats.

The case has prompted calls for legal reforms and has sparked a national conversation on parental liability for minors' conduct.

This marks the first instance of parents being convicted for a child's shooting, with ongoing updates anticipated.
