TL;DR Summary

The unusual case against Ethan Crumbley's parents resulted in historic convictions for involuntary manslaughter in two separate trials, with Jennifer Crumbley convicted last month and James Crumbley convicted on Thursday. Prosecutors had to show how each parent was individually at fault, facing differing defense strategies and two sets of jurors. Jennifer's case involved evidence from her cellphone and a gun range visit with Ethan, while James' case focused on his responsibility for purchasing and securing the handgun used in the shooting. Both parents face up to 15 years in prison per four counts of involuntary manslaughter and will be sentenced on April 9.
