Judge Upholds Life Without Parole Sentence for Oxford Shooter Ethan Crumbley

A judge has denied convicted school shooter Ethan Crumbley's request to dismiss the possibility of life without parole as he awaits sentencing for the 2021 mass shooting at Oxford High School, where he murdered four students and injured seven others. The judge also denied Crumbley's request to exclude school eyewitnesses from testifying at his upcoming Miller hearing, where the judge will determine if life without parole is appropriate. The hearing is scheduled for July 27 and is expected to consider factors such as Crumbley's background, mental development, and family environment. Crumbley's parents, who bought him the gun used in the shooting, are also facing charges.
