The parents of a Michigan teen who shot and killed four classmates were sentenced to 10-15 years in prison after being convicted of manslaughter. This rare case holds parents responsible in a school shooting.
The parents of a Michigan teen who shot and killed four classmates were each sentenced to 10-15 years in prison on Tuesday after a jury convicted them of manslaughter in a rare case of parents being held responsible in a school shooting .
Ethan Crumbley was 15 at the time of the shooting at Oxford High School in 2021. He pleaded guilty in 2022 to four counts of first-degree murder and other charges and was sentenced to life in prison without parole in December. "If there's anything the general public can take away from this, it's that this could happen to you, too.
Prosecutors in the trials of both Jennifer Crumbley and James Crumbley said the parents were criminally negligent for providing a gun for their child as a Christmas present and for ignoring signs his mental health had deteriorated and that he was potentially violent. There is little precedent for the criminal charges faced by the Crumbleys, who are the first parents known to be charged with manslaughter in a school shooting carried out by one of their children.
