"Oxford School Shooting: The Crumbley Convictions and Legal Precedent"
Both James and Jennifer Crumbley were found guilty on four counts of involuntary manslaughter for their roles in their son's mass shooting at Oxford High School. Despite the similarities in the trials, they took different paths to get there. Jennifer testified in her own defense, pushing blame onto her son, husband, and the school, while James declined to testify. Jennifer's trial focused on her knowledge of her son's mental health issues, while James' trial spotlighted his firearm safety practices. The trials also differed in their legal defense strategies, with Jennifer providing a lengthy digital trail of her thoughts and feelings, while James did not. They face up to 15 years in prison and are set to be sentenced next month.
