"Michigan School Shooter's Parents Plead for Mercy as Sentencing Looms"

The parents of a Michigan school shooter, Jennifer and James Crumbley, are seeking to avoid prison sentences as they face sentencing for their involvement in the 2021 attack that killed four students. Prosecutors argue that the parents failed to safely store a gun and could have prevented the shooting. Defense attorneys argue that the parents are not a threat to the community and that their mistakes were ones any parent could make. Their son, Ethan Crumbley, pleaded guilty and is serving a life prison sentence.
