"Upcoming Trials for Parents of Oxford High School Shooter and Appeal for Ethan Crumbley"

Trials for both parents of the Oxford High School shooter, facing four counts of involuntary manslaughter charges, are set to begin separately, with Jennifer Crumbley's trial starting on January 23 and James Crumbley's on March 5. The trials will focus on determining the role played by each parent in the November 2021 shooting that resulted in the deaths of four students. Prosecutors aim to prove that the parents failed to take steps that could have prevented the tragedy, making them the first parents of a U.S. mass shooter to be charged in connection with their child’s crimes.
