"Legal Ramifications for Parents of School Shooters: Lessons from the Jennifer Crumbley Verdict"

A Michigan jury found Jennifer Crumbley guilty of four counts of involuntary manslaughter for her role in the Oxford High School shooting that left four students dead and seven injured. The jury foreperson stated that Crumbley could have done "many little things" to prevent the massacre and criticized her testimony, where she said she wouldn't have done anything differently. Prosecutors presented evidence of her purchasing a gun for her son and taking him to a shooting range, while also revealing that the parents met with the school counselor after their son created a disturbing drawing but refused to take him home. James Crumbley, her husband, is also facing four counts of involuntary manslaughter in a separate trial.
