NEW CUMBERLAND, W.Va. (AP) — A 16-year-old West Virginia boy has been sentenced to consecutive 40-year prison terms in the fatal shootings of his mother and sister. News outlets report a judge sentenced Connor Crowe to the maximum terms Tuesday, rejecting defense arguments for a lesser sentence. Crowe was 13 in 2020 when he killed his mother and his 15-year-old sister. He waived his right to be tried in juvenile court and pleaded guilty in November to second-degree murder. Because of his age at the time of the killings, he could be eligible for parole in 15 years.
