TL;DR

The jury deliberating James Crumbley's fate, charged with involuntary manslaughter for his role in the Oxford school shooting, had a question during their seven-hour deliberation, which was answered in private. Legal experts note that jury deliberations typically last one day for each week of testimony, and Crumbley's trial had five days of testimony. Prosecutors argue that Crumbley ignored his son's mental health needs, bought him a gun, and failed to secure it, while the defense maintains that he was unaware of his son's intentions and had secured the gun. Crumbley's wife was convicted of the same crimes and faces up to 15 years in prison.
