"Jennifer Crumbley Testifies in Michigan School Shooter Trial"

Jennifer Crumbley, the mother of Michigan school shooter Ethan Crumbley, will testify in her own defense in her manslaughter trial, where she faces four counts of involuntary manslaughter for her role in the November 2021 shooting that left four students dead and seven others injured. Prosecutors argue that the Crumbleys did not secure the firearm used in the shooting to prevent their son from accessing it, and that Jennifer Crumbley had the opportunity to prevent the shooting but did not. Witnesses, including educators at Oxford High School, have testified about their experiences during the shooting, and surveillance video from inside the school was shown in court, causing emotional reactions from Jennifer Crumbley and her lawyer. Ethan Crumbley, who was 15 at the time of the shooting, was sentenced to life without parole after pleading guilty to 24 charges.
