Michigan Prosecutors Push for Decade in Prison for Parents of Oxford High School Shooter
First U.S. Parents Face Decade in Prison for School Shooting Responsibility
Prosecutors in Michigan say the parents of the Oxford High School shooter should spend at least ten years in prison. Jennifer and James Crumbley were found guilty of involuntary manslaughter earlier this year, according to the crime report of CBS Austin. They’re the first parents in the U.S. held responsible for a school shooting. The prosecutors argue the couple didn’t do enough to stop their son from carrying out the shooting.
The Crumbleys didn’t lock away a gun at home or address their son’s mental health issues says the prosecutors. Even though they didn’t know what their son planned they still could’ve prevented the tragedy the court heard. The prosecutors want them to face a minimum of ten years behind bars for their actions.
