"Verdict Awaited: Jennifer Crumbley Trial and the Question of Parental Responsibility in School Shooting"

The defense in the Jennifer Crumbley trial argued that she was not aware of her son's mental condition and emphasized her husband's love of guns while placing blame on the school. They portrayed her as a hypervigilant mother who was not responsible for the gun's storage, highlighting instances where the school did not communicate concerning behavior. The defense claimed that the shooting was not foreseeable and not expected, and quoted Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" to emphasize that a Band-Aid will never bring back the lives lost.
