TL;DR Summary

James Crumbley, the father of the teenager who carried out a fatal school shooting near Detroit, was convicted of manslaughter for giving his son a gun and ignoring warning signs of violence. Both James and his wife, Jennifer, will be sentenced on April 9. Their son, Ethan, who was 15 at the time of the shooting, had pleaded guilty to four counts of first-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison without parole. The Crumbleys are the first parents to be charged with manslaughter in a child's school shooting in the U.S., and the case has drawn attention to the need for better gun safety measures in homes.
