"Oxford School Shooting: Jury Deliberates on Mother's Role"

The Oxford High School shooter did not testify at his mother's involuntary manslaughter trial despite defense requests, as his Fifth Amendment rights protect him from self-incrimination. The defense hoped his testimony would benefit his mother's case, but the judge ruled that calling him to the stand would risk a mistrial due to his Fifth Amendment rights. The defense argued that the shooter should not be allowed to plead the Fifth after being sentenced, but the judge disagreed, and the trial proceeded without his testimony. The trial of Jennifer Crumbley, charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the 2021 shooting, has concluded, and the jury is deliberating.
