If either is yes, then she is guilty provided the gun wasn't secured from children's hands. Even if the kid was a late high school teen I would feel this way.

For her now-indefinitely imprisoned, murderous son? For anyone connected to this horror?
Nah... the eternal sociopathic narcissist. May no judge fall for it.
