"James Crumbley Faces Manslaughter Trial Following Michigan School Shooting"

TL;DR
James Crumbley, the father of the teenager who carried out a deadly school shooting in Michigan, is now on trial for four counts of involuntary manslaughter, just weeks after his wife was convicted of the same charges. Prosecutors argue that the parents are responsible for the deaths due to purchasing a gun for their son and disregarding signs of his mental health issues. The case against James is similar to his wife's, but there are differences in firearm expertise and knowledge about their son's mental health problems. The trial is expected to feature testimony from shooting survivors, police investigators, and school employees.
