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.

Victim impact statements begin in Crumbley sentencing hearing
Nicole Beausoleil, Madisyn Baldwin's mother, was the first to deliver a victim impact statement Tuesday morning.
"You said you wouldn't do anything different, well that really says what type of parent you are, because there's a lot of things I would do differently," said Beausoleil. "But the one thing I would have wanted to be different was to take that bullet that day so she could continue to live the life she deserved."
Jill Soave and Craig Shilling, Justin Shilling's parents, and Reina St. Juliana, Hana St. Juliana's sister, also spoke.
Reina St. Juliana said that she saw her sister earlier that day, but they parted ways with a smile, and she never got to say goodbye to her.
Hana's father, Steve St. Juliana, also spoke. When referring to James and Jennifer, he said, "They chose to stay quiet, they chose to ignore the warning signs, and now, as we've heard through all the objections, they continue to choose to blame everyone but themselves."
Buck Myre, Tate Myre's father, spoke and said it's time to put the focus on the Oxford School District and how the response to the shooting was horrible.
After the impact statements, Jennifer and James Crumbley also spoke.
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.
The mother and her defense attorney, Shannon Smith, have asked that she be sentenced to house arrest and that Jennifer Crumbley live in Smith's guest house, which is less than 10 miles from Oxford High School.
