A Michigan jury found James Crumbley was criminally responsible for the four murders his son, who was 15 at the time, committed at Oxford High School in 2021.
Jurors found James Crumbley guilty on all four counts of involuntary manslaughter over his teenage son's mass shooting at Michigan's Oxford High School in November 2021.
Prosecutors maintained throughout James Crumbley's trial that he should have reasonably foreseen that his son was troubled and primed for violence. Prosecutors said the teen made it very clear what he planned to do by drawing a troubling picture on a math test along with scrawled phrases like"Help me" and"Blood everywhere."
Throughout the trial the defense painted James Crumbley as a caring parent who had no idea his son was descending into a world of hallucinations and potential violence. Crumbley, dressed in a suit and wearing headphones to help with his hearing, presented a mostly calm figure in court.
