Both Crumbleys were convicted on four counts of involuntary manslaughter over the 2021 shooting at Michigan's Oxford High School carried out by their son, Ethan Crumbley, who was 15 at the time.
James Crumbley, his attorney Mariell Lehman, Jennifer Crumbley and her attorney Shannon Smith sit in court in Pontiac, Mich., for Tuesday's sentencing on four counts of involuntary manslaughter for the deaths of four Oxford High School students who were shot and killed by the Crumbleys' son.Crumbley, whose son murdered four classmates and shot seven other people at Oxford High School in 2021, were each sentenced Tuesday to between 10 and 15 years in prison.
Prosecutors never claimed the parents knew about their son's plans to go on a killing spree at Michigan's Oxford High School. However, they argued the Crumbleys ignored signs their son was seriously troubled and instead bought him a powerful Sig Sauer 9mm handgun as an early Christmas present. Prosecutors noted that Jennifer Crumbley testified during her trial that"I've asked myself if I would've done anything differently. And I wouldn't have."
The couple maintained they thought their son was a normal teenager simply depressed over the loss of his grandmother, a pet dog and a friend who had moved away.
