   HONESDALE, Pa. –  A suburban New York man faces up to 21 years   
   in prison for allowing his unlicensed 15-year-old daughter to   
   drive an SUV that crashed in northeastern Pennsylvania last   
   summer, killing three of her friends.   
      
   Michael Ware, 54, of Scarsdale, is scheduled to be sentenced   
   Thursday in Wayne County Court. He pleaded guilty last month to   
   three counts of involuntary manslaughter and reckless   
   endangerment in the Aug. 30, 2014, crash.   
      
   Prosecutors say Ware gave the keys of his Chevrolet Suburban to   
   his daughter, who drove five friends to breakfast before losing   
   control of the SUV and flipping it in Paupack Township, in the   
   Pocono Mountains.   
      
   The crash killed Ryan Lesher, Shamus Digney and Cullen Keffer,   
   all 15-year-old sophomores at Council Rock High School in   
   suburban Philadelphia. Three others were hurt.   
      
   Victims' family members on Thursday called for a stiff sentence   
   for Ware.   
      
   "He basically gave his daughter a gun and put the bullets in it   
   for her," said Wilson Black, Shamus' uncle.   
      
   The teenage driver acknowledged responsibility in juvenile court   
   to vehicular homicide counts and was placed on indefinite   
   probation. She also was ordered to do 300 hours of community   
   service, pay restitution and write a 2,000-word essay on the   
   impact of her crime.   
      
   Her attorney, John Stieh, told The Philadelphia Inquirer in May   
   that she was in a "really dark and nasty place" and "doesn't   
   stop thinking about it." He said she hadn't spoken to her father   
   since the crash.   
      
   Michael Ware told reporters after his July guilty plea that he   
   was "sorry, very sorry."   
      
   The charges carry a maximum of more than two decades in prison,   
   but Ware is likely to get far less time under state sentencing   
   guidelines.
