A groundbreaking case in Michigan is nearing a close as the parents of a Michigan school shooter face sentencing Tuesday in suburban Detroit
FILE - Jennifer Crumbley, left, looks to attorney Shanon Smith, Feb. 5, 2024, in Pontiac, Mich. In a court filing Wednesday, April 3, prosecutors in Michigan recommended at least 10 years in prison for Jennifer and James Crumbley, two parents who are the first in the U.S. to be held criminally responsible for a school shooting, when they're sentenced Tuesday, April 9.
“Putting Mrs. Crumbley in prison does nothing to further deter others from committing like offenses,” Smith said in a court filing. “There is no person who would want the events of Nov. 30, 2021, to repeat themselves.”Mariell Lehman, a lawyer representing James Crumbley, said the nearly 2 1/2 years spent in jail since the couple's arrest is enough time in custody. His wife, too, has been in jail, both unable to post a $500,000 bond before trial.
Ethan told a counselor he was sad — a grandmother had died and his only friend suddenly had moved away — but said the drawing only reflected his interest in creating video games. No one, however, checked Ethan's backpack. He pulled the gun out later that day and killed four students — Tate Myre, Hana St. Juliana, Justin Shilling and Madisyn Baldwin — and wounded seven other people.
