"Gun Safe Default Code and Testimony Highlight James Crumbley Trial"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by CNN

Detective testifies that James Crumbley stored two firearms in a gun case with the default combination "0-0-0," showing gross negligence in securing the weapons. Prosecutors aim to expand blame in mass shootings by holding parents responsible for providing firearms and disregarding signs of mental health issues. Crumbley faces involuntary manslaughter charges and up to 15 years in prison if convicted, while his son, Ethan, is serving a life sentence for the shooting. The trial raises questions about parental responsibility in mass shootings and the lack of proper firearm security.

Jailed Michigan school shooter's parents denied request to attend son's sentencing

Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Hill

The parents of Ethan Crumbley, the teenager responsible for a deadly shooting at a Michigan high school, are requesting to be released from jail to attend their son's sentencing hearing in December. James and Jennifer Crumbley are facing involuntary manslaughter charges for allegedly making a gun accessible to their son and ignoring his mental health issues. Prosecutors argue that their presence in the courtroom would be a distraction and suggest they watch the hearing online from jail. Ethan, who was 15 at the time of the shooting, is scheduled for sentencing on December 8.
