The guilty verdict on Tuesday against the mother of a Michigan teenager who murdered four students in 2021 in the state’s deadliest school shooting is likely to ripple across the country’s legal landscape as prosecutors find themselves weighing a new way to seek justice in mass shootings.
But, legal experts say, don’t expect a rush of similar cases.
Ethan pleaded guilty in 2022 and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Ms. Crumbley was convicted on four counts of involuntary manslaughter, one for each student her son killed.
She faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison, and sentencing is scheduled for April 9.
