James Crumbley faces court

 



On March 5, 2024, after more than two years behind bars, James Crumbley will be the third and final member of his family to face the justice system over a mass school shooting in Oxford, Michigan that left four children dead and seven other people injured, including a teacher. 

Like his wife, Crumbley is accused of making key decisions that cost lives — all taken in a school shooting carried out by his son. Four days after buying Ethan Crumbley a gun in 2021, his son used it in a mass shooting — a fact that prosecutors are likely to focus on as he goes to trial in part two of the historic case. 

His wife, Jennifer Crumbley, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter last month and became the first parent in America held criminally responsible for a mass school shooting carried out by their child.

Crumbley will be tried on four counts of involuntary manslaughter.
