(CBS DETROIT) – James and Jennifer Crumbley, the parents of the Oxford High School shooter, will be sentenced on Tuesday after a jury found them guilty of four counts of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the November 2021 shooting that claimed the lives of four students and injured several others.
Oakland County Judge Cheryl Matthews will determine the sentencing. Prosecutors are seeking 10 to 15 years in prison for the parents.
CBS News Detroit will stream live coverage of the sentencing beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday. Victims will have the opportunity to provide statements at the sentencing hearing.
On Feb. 6, Jennifer Crumbley was found guilty of four counts of involuntary manslaughter in the shooting where her son killed four students, Justin Shilling, Madisyn Baldwin, Tate Myre, and Hana St. Juliana, and injured seven other people on Nov. 30, 2021.
Jennifer Crumbley was the first parent in the U.S. to go on trial in a mass school shooting carried out by their child.
