"Legal Ramifications of Parental Gun Negligence in Mass Shooting Cases"

The jury foreperson in the trial of Jennifer Crumbley, convicted of involuntary manslaughter for her son's mass shooting at Oxford High School, revealed that the guilty verdict wasn't immediately unanimous, citing evidence including her son's notebook writings. The foreperson emphasized that Jennifer failed to "secure" the gun used in the shooting from her son, holding her responsible for the tragedy. Jennifer faces up to 15 years in prison per count, while her husband, James Crumbley, also faces charges. The case is a rare instance of parents being charged after their child conducts a mass shooting, and the emotional toll of the trial was described by the jury foreperson.
