Parents of Michigan high school shooter Ethan Crumbley will go to trial, judges rule
The parents, James and Jennifer Crumbley, have argued the charges have no legal justification and that they should not be held responsible.The parents of the Oxford High School shooter will stand trial on four counts of involuntary manslaughter for the four deaths their son Ethan Crumbley caused in a November 2021 school shooting in what may be a precedent-setting case, the Michigan Court of Appeals has ruled.
The opinion said that those concerns are "significantly diminished" by the fact that Crumbley's actions "were reasonably foreseeable, and that is the ultimate test that must be applied." In a concurring opinion, Judge Michael Riordan also noted that the case was exceptional because of how clear it was that Crumbley was contemplating violence -- and the fact that his parents provided him a handgun anyway.
Crumbley's parents, James and Jennifer Crumbley, were also arrested days after the shooting following a manhunt that led authorities to a Detroit warehouse. Accused of providing their son easy access to a firearm and disregarding warning signs, the pair were charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter.
