TL;DR Summary

The jury is deliberating in the involuntary manslaughter trial of James Crumbley, the father of the Michigan mass shooter, whose verdict could set a national precedent for holding parents responsible for their children's actions. Prosecutors argue that Crumbley negligently bought his son the gun used in the school shooting and failed to secure it, while the defense maintains that he did not see signs of his son's mental illness. The prosecution emphasized that Crumbley could have taken simple measures to prevent the tragedy, while the defense argued that the case is about hindsight and that no one could have predicted the shooting.
