"James Crumbley's Trial Begins in Oxford School Shooting Case"

The trial of James Crumbley, father of the Oxford school shooter, is set to begin with jury selection this week, following his wife's conviction for involuntary manslaughter. Both parents face the same charges and potential sentence for failing to properly store the gun or show "reasonable care" in preventing their son from harming others. Legal analysts expect the trial to resemble Jennifer Crumbley's, with similar evidence and strategic differences. James Crumbley will have a new jury, and while he may be portrayed as the more concerned parent, he could be held to a higher standard of responsibility for securing the handgun. The trial also raises questions about the advantages and downsides of being the second defendant in a separate trial.
