The Spring Arbor couple accused of beating their young sons are set to learn their fate Wednesday morning.

James and Tina Harbert are scheduled to be sentenced by Circuit Judge John McBain in Jackson at 9 a.m.

James Harbert pleaded guilty to three counts of First-Degree Child Abuse last month.

Tina Harbert was convicted on two counts of First-Degree Child Abuse the next day.

James Harbert was arrested back in September 2015 after someone reported to police seeing one of his children with serious injuries. Police found the couple's other child had similar injuries. Both children were removed from the home.

James and Tina Harbert are both facing up to life in prison.
