WAUKEGAN, Ill. (AP) – A jury has convicted a suburban Chicago woman of involuntary manslaughter for failing to give her son the medical care he required after a heart transplant. It also found 41-year-old Jennifer Stroud of Park City, also guilty of endangering the life of a child. The Daily Herald of Arlington Heights reports she faces up to 14 years in prison at her July 21 sentencing. Eleven-year-old Jason Stroud was a sixth-grader at Woodland Middle School in Gurnee when he died on Sept. 11, 2016, four years after undergoing his transplant. Stroud’s ex-husband, David Stroud, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in 2019 and was sentenced to five years in prison.
