North Carolina mass-shooting teen gets life without parole

An 18-year-old in Raleigh, NC, who killed five people in a mass shooting when he was 15, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole after pleading guilty to five counts of first-degree murder. The judge rejected parole after 25 years, stating the crimes showed irreparable corruption; the case included a note claiming he hated humans and a defense theory of a dissociative episode linked to acne medication. The rampage began at his home, included the killing of his 16-year-old brother and an off-duty officer, and followed extensive online planning. Victims’ families urged the harsh sentence as prosecutors emphasized premeditation and planning.

Oxford shooter's fate hangs in balance as hearing determines life sentence eligibility

Testimony in the sentencing hearing for Ethan Crumbley, the teenager who fatally shot four students at Oxford High School in Michigan, revealed that he had expressed a desire to "shoot up the school" and "be remembered through all of history" in journal entries prior to the attack. The prosecution argued for a sentence of life without parole, highlighting the calculated nature of the shooting and Crumbley's desire to witness the suffering he caused. The defense argued that Crumbley, who pleaded guilty to 24 felonies, including terrorism causing death and first-degree murder, should not be sentenced to life without parole, citing his age and the possibility of rehabilitation.
