West Bloomfield Grandmother Sentenced to 20-40 Years

The 75-year-old West Bloomfield woman convicted of killing her grandson has been sentenced to 20-40 years in prison, according to an article by WDIV-Channel 4.

The sentence is more than Layne was hoping for. Last week, her attorney filed a request for the minimum sentence of one year.

In March, a jury found Layne guilty of second degree murder in the shooting death of her 17-year-old grandson Jonathan Hoffman this past May. Hoffman was a student at Farmington Central High School.

Layne also received a two year sentence, the minimum penalty, for use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. She has been credited with 11 months served.
