Gun safety experts hope the convictions serve as a wake-up call to parents across the US to better secure their weapons. Prosecutors had argued the parents bore responsibility for Ethan Crumbley's 2021 shooting.
The father of a teenager who shot four classmates dead has been found guilty of manslaughter a month after his wife was also convicted. Ethan Crumbley is serving life in prison for murder after killing four classmates at Oxford High School, near Detroit, in Michigan, in November 2021, when he was 15. In a landmark case, his mother Jennifer Crumbley, 45, was found guilty of four counts of manslaughter - one for each victim - in February this year.
On one occasion, according to a text message to a friend, Ms McDonald said Ethan had asked James Crumbley to take him to the doctor, but his dad 'gave me some pills and told me to suck it up'. Defence lawyer Mariell Lehman argued James Crumbley could not have possibly foreseen his son would carry out a mass shooting.
