"Michigan School Shooter's Parents Sentenced: Impact on Parental Responsibility"

The mother of a victim in the Michigan school shooting expresses that the sentencing of the gunman's parents, James and Jennifer Crumbley, sends a message to parents about accountability and listening to their children. She dismisses the apology statements made by the Crumbleys as disingenuous and emphasizes the need for them to take responsibility for their actions. The Crumbleys received 10 to 15 years in prison for involuntary manslaughter, marking the first instance of parents being charged and convicted in connection to a mass shooting perpetrated by their child.

"Jury Resumes Deliberations in James Crumbley Trial Amid Emotional Testimony"

Jury deliberations have resumed in the manslaughter trial of James Crumbley, the father of the teenager who carried out a deadly school shooting in Michigan. Prosecutors argue that Crumbley was grossly negligent for buying a gun for his son, failing to secure it, and ignoring his deteriorating mental health. The defense contends that there is no evidence Crumbley knew his son was a danger. The trial focuses on the purchase and storage of the firearm, as well as missed warning signs of the shooter's mental health issues. The case represents a test of parental responsibility in mass shootings, following the conviction of the shooter's mother on the same charges.
