"James Crumbley Seeks Change of Venue for Fair Trial in Oxford HS Shooting Case"

James Crumbley, facing trial for involuntary manslaughter charges related to the 2021 school shooting carried out by his son, is seeking a change of venue, arguing that it's impossible to seat an unbiased jury in Oakland County due to widespread media coverage and the impact of his wife's recent conviction. His lawyer contends that the public has already convicted him, and requests additional opportunities to strike jurors during selection. The defense also criticizes the prosecutor's media interviews and narratives, while maintaining that the parents never thought their son was homicidal or a threat.
