TL;DR Summary

The mother of a 15-year-old school shooter in Michigan, Jennifer Crumbley, is facing manslaughter charges for making a firearm easily accessible and ignoring warning signs. Her attorney, Shannon Smith, opened the trial by quoting Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" and argued that the prosecution's attempt to hold Crumbley responsible is like putting a Band-Aid on a problem that can't be fixed that way. The son pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison without parole. The attorney also hinted at laying some blame on the husband, James Crumbley, while the prosecutor described Jennifer as an unaware mom who missed opportunities to intervene before the shooting.
