"Verdict: James Crumbley Found Guilty of Involuntary Manslaughter in Michigan School Shooting Case"
TL;DR
James Crumbley, father of the Michigan school shooter, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for failing to prevent his son's deadly rampage. Prosecutors argued that he should have foreseen his son's violent tendencies and taken steps to secure the gun used in the shooting. Despite the defense's portrayal of Crumbley as a caring parent unaware of his son's descent into violence, the jury convicted him on all counts. Both James and his wife, Jennifer, face a maximum of 15 years in prison and will be sentenced next month.
