Michigan School Shooter Ethan Crumbley’s Parents Get 10 To 15 Years In Prison

Jennifer and James Crumbley—the parents of a 17-year-old who killed four students in a 2021 Michigan high school shooting—were both sentenced to 10 to 15 years in prison for involuntary manslaughter Tuesday with credit for time served, marking the end to a first-of-its-kind case holding parents accountable for their role in their child’s mass shooting.

Oakland County Judge Cheryl Matthews handed down Tuesday’s sentence, which comes weeks after Jennifer, 45, and James, 47, were separatelyconvicted on four counts of involuntary manslaughter each.

The couple have been imprisoned for more than two years—858 days—since their December 2021 arrest.
