Some closure for their community to have this monster hopefully locked up for life. Everyone will have to wait a bit longer for the parent's charges to be brought to trial.
https://apnews.com/article/david-wil...92749532b27316DETROIT (AP) — A teenager accused of killing four fellow students and injuring more at a Michigan high school is expected to plead guilty to murder next week, authorities said Friday.
Ethan Crumbley had created images of violence during a classroom assignment last November but was not sent home from Oxford High School in southeastern Michigan. He pulled out a gun a few hours later and committed a mass shooting.
Authorities have pinned some responsibility on Crumbley’s parents, portraying them as a dysfunctional pair who ignored their son’s mental health needs and happily provided a gun as a gift just days before the attack. They also face charges.
Crumbley, 16, is due in court Monday.
“We can confirm that the shooter is expected to plead guilty to all 24 charges, including terrorism, and the prosecutor has notified the victims,” said David Williams, chief assistant prosecutor in Oakland County.
Nice to see some culpability for bad parents who buy guns for their children they've failed to supervise properly.
Mother of Oxford, Michigan, school shooter found guilty of manslaughter
JUST IN: A jury found Jennifer Crumbley, the mother of the teenager who killed four students at an Oxford, Michigan, high school in 2021, guilty of four counts of involuntary manslaughter.
Crumbley is set to be sentenced on April 9. Each count of involuntary manslaughter carries a maximum punishment of up to 15 years in prison, which would run concurrently.
This trial stands as a test of the limits of who’s responsible for a school shooting. Her husband, James Crumbley, is scheduled to go to trial on the same charges in early March.In particular, prosecutors accuse the gunman’s parents of disregarding the risks when they bought a gun for their son four days before the shooting, even though he was struggling with his mental health and contemplating violence. They also say the parents did not mention the gun to school officials in a meeting to discuss Ethan’s disturbing drawings just hours before the fatal shooting.https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/oxf...ict/index.htmlTheir son Ethan pleaded guilty to one count of terrorism causing death, four counts of murder and 19 other charges related to the deadly rampage. He was sentenced last year to life in prison without parole.
