"Parental Accountability: Jail Calls and Sentencing in Oxford Shooting Case"
TL;DR
Jail calls from James Crumbley, who was sentenced for involuntary manslaughter in connection with his son's mass school shooting, were released, revealing his expletive-laden threats towards Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald. Crumbley's attorney claims he was venting frustrations, not threatening McDonald, while prosecutors argue the calls contained physical threats. The calls span 15 months and include Crumbley expressing anger and frustration over the lack of investigation by the prosecution. Both James and Jennifer Crumbley were sentenced to 10 to 15 years in prison, the maximum sentence they could receive by law.
