The mother of a Virginia first grader who shot his teacher in January was sentenced to two years in prison for felony child neglect, the USA Today website reported yesterday (Dec.15, 2023).
Deja Taylor's son was 6 on Jan. 6 when he brought her gun to school and shot and injured Abby Zwerner. Taylor pleaded guilty in August in a deal with state prosecutors, who dropped allegations she endangered her child by recklessly leaving a loaded firearm in their home.
The sentencing is harsher than sentencing guidelines called for and beyond the range prosecutors requested. Prosecutors recommended a six-month sentence as part of a plea deal.
