James and Jennifer Crumbley have each been sentenced to 10 to 15 years in prison for their role in the deadly mass shooting carried out by their son, Ethan Crumbley, at a Michigan high school in 2021. The criminal case against the Crumbleys marked the first time in the U.S. that parents have been charged in connection with a mass shooting committed by their child.
The Crumbleys’ sentences were handed down after nearly an hour of victim impact statements Tuesday. Visibly emotional family members of the four slain students described their loss and grief and pushed for the maximum sentence. Both Jennifer and James Crumbley also addressed the court and the families, suggesting that they were unaware of their son's plans or his emotional state. The couple continued to argue that school officials misled or did not give them sufficient information.
