Former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore has been sentenced to 18 months of probation, avoiding jail time, following a home invasion case that unfolded after his departure from the university. The sentencing was handed down by 14A District Court Judge J. Cedric Simpson on April 14.

Moore's probation terms include court fines exceeding $1,000, a requirement to continue mental health treatment, and prohibitions on contacting the victim, Paige Shiver, and using alcohol or recreational marijuana. While 180 days of jail time were suspended, he will serve no incarceration if he successfully adheres to his probation conditions, having already been credited for three days served.

During the hearing, Judge Simpson stated that incarceration was not appropriate but was unequivocal in his rebuke of Moore's actions. "Frankly, Mr. Moore, you had no right to do what you did...you had no right to spread your pain to her," Simpson said. The judge notably emphasized that a letter from Moore's wife, Kelli Moore, had the "biggest impact" on the court's decision regarding punishment.

"The person quite frankly, Mr. Moore, who is saving you from the full wrath of this court is the one you betrayed," Simpson added, praising Kelli Moore's strength and unwavering support for her husband throughout the process.

Moore, who reached a plea agreement in March, pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of malicious use of a telecommunications device and trespassing. These were reduced from the original, more serious charges. In a statement to the court, Moore thanked his wife for her "support, strength and standing by" him, affirming he has taken the legal process "very seriously." A review hearing for his probation has been scheduled for October 2027.
