"Oxford School Shooter's Father's Trial: Deliberations, Journal Entries, and Testimony"

James Crumbley, father of the Michigan school shooter, declined to testify at his involuntary manslaughter trial after his wife, Jennifer Crumbley, was convicted of four counts of involuntary manslaughter. Prosecutors portrayed James as a neglectful father who failed to secure the gun used in the shooting, while the defense argued that he had no knowledge of his son's plans. The prosecution emphasized James' disregard for a known danger, while the defense stressed that he had no reason to believe his son would harm anyone. The trial is the first instance of parents facing criminal accountability for a child's school shooting in the United States.
