TL;DR

James Crumbley, father of Ethan Crumbley who carried out a deadly school shooting at Oxford High School, has been found guilty of involuntary manslaughter. The jury's decision marks the first time in the U.S. that the parents of a mass school shooter have been held criminally responsible. James faces up to 15 years in prison for buying his son the gun used in the shooting, despite not being accused of knowing about the attack beforehand. The trial highlighted the importance of parental responsibility and safe gun storage, and the prosecution argued that the deaths were preventable if Crumbley had taken small efforts to intervene.
