You be the sentencing judge: what sentence for Jennifer Crumbley after manslaughter convictions based on her son’s mass school shooting?

I high-profile state homicide trial concluded this afternoon in Michigan with guilty verdicts from the jury for Jennifer Crumbley, mother of school shooter Ethan Crumbley.  This lengthy CNN article, headlined “Jennifer Crumbley, mother of school shooter, found guilty of manslaughter in test of who’s responsible for a mass shooting,” provide a lot of details and context surrounding the trial.  But I am already eager to turn to the sentencing, and this local article provides these particulars:

The mother of the Oxford High School shooter could receive a prison sentence lasting anywhere from a few years to decades after being convicted Tuesday of four counts of involuntary manslaughter. After seven days of witness testimony and nearly two days of deliberations, jurors found Jennifer Crumbley guilty of involuntary manslaughter for her role in the Nov. 30, 2021, shooting that left four children dead and seven people injured. Both Crumbley and her husband were charged with four counts, and are standing trial separately.

By declaring the Oxford shooter’s mother guilty, jurors had to agree that the prosecution proved at least one of two theories: that involuntary manslaughter resulted from Crumbley’s failure to perform a legal duty, or that she committed involuntary manslaughter because she was grossly negligent. Jurors did not have to agree on which theory, so long as they all believed at least one was proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

The Oxford shooter’s mother is scheduled to be sentenced on April 9 in Oakland County. The actual sentence she’ll receive, however, is unknown. For an involuntary manslaughter conviction in Michigan, the punishment is up to 15 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $7,500.

Because Crumbley was convicted of four counts of involuntary manslaughter, it is possible she could be sentenced to a maximum of 60 years in prison if the judge decides to hand down the maximum sentence — and if the judge decides to make those sentences consecutive. Some experts believe this sentence would be harsh under the circumstances….

Oakland County Judge Cheryl Matthews could decide to hand down the maximum sentence of 15 years for each count, but order them to run concurrently, so the max would still be 15 years…. The decision is ultimately up to the judge, and any guess as to a sentence would be solely speculative. In Michigan, the average sentencing for involuntary manslaughter is about 5-7 years per death, according to research done by Michigan defense law firm Barone.

So, dear readers, any early thoughts on a sound sentencing outcome in this notable case?
