On Tuesday, an Oakland County jury found Jennifer Crumbley, the mother of the Oxford High School shooter, guilty on all four charges of involuntary manslaughter.
That verdict came down after seven days of testimony and two days of deliberation.
Kalamazoo attorney ‘not surprised’ by guilty verdict for Jennifer Crumbley
Attorney Randall Levine, a managing partner at Levine & Levine Attorneys at Law in Kalamazoo, told FOX 17 he was “not surprised” by the jury’s decision.
“The Oxford shooting was so horrific that the facts, in this particular case, I believe, gave the jury an avenue in which to convict — which they did,” he said.
Jennifer’s son, Ethan, who was 15 at the time, killed four students and injured seven others in the November 2021 mass shooting.
Jennifer and her husband, James, are the first parents to ever be charged in connection to a school shooting, making Jennifer the first parent convicted in such a case.
Her conviction, according to Levine, sets an interesting precedent about similar cases moving forward.
