"Michigan School Shooter Ethan Crumbley Sentenced to Life Without Parole"

A judge has ruled that Ethan Crumbley, the Oxford High School shooter who killed four students and injured seven others in 2021, is eligible for a life-without-parole sentence. However, the final decision on his punishment will be made in December by Oakland County Circuit Judge Kwame Rowe, who could still opt for a more lenient sentence. The judge concluded that Crumbley carefully planned and carried out the shooting, showing no signs of impulsivity or peer pressure. The defense argued that Crumbley, who was 15 at the time of the shooting, is too young for a life sentence and should have a chance at rehabilitation. The sentencing hearing will include testimony from the victims' families and others affected by the tragedy.
