"Michigan School Shooter's Parents Seek Mercy as Sentencing Looms"

James and Jennifer Crumbley, parents of the teenager who committed the 2021 school shooting in Oxford, Michigan, are facing sentencing for manslaughter charges and could each be imprisoned for up to 15 years. Prosecutors are seeking 10 to 15 years in prison for each parent, citing a lack of remorse, while the defense is requesting less than five years. The parents were found to be grossly negligent in allowing their son access to the firearm and ignoring signs of his deteriorating mental health. The sentencing marks the end of a legal saga that has challenged the boundaries of parental responsibility in mass shootings.
