Jury selection begins in trial of Jennifer Crumbley, mother of Oxford High School mass shooter



Jennifer Crumbley is facing involuntary manslaughter charges for her alleged role in the mass shooting carried out by her son at a Michigan school in 2021. Prosecutors allege Ethan Crumbley’s father bought him the gun used in the attack and that both parents ignored warning signs about his mental state.

  1. After the columbine massacre the depositions of the shooters parents were sealed in court for 25 years. 😂

  2. Strikes me as strange the "George Floyd trial" ONLY took a COUPLE OF MONTHS?!😂

  3. Shame… The apple, indeed, does not fall far from the tree.

  4. They need to make it law that any parent of an adolescent killer will be prosecuted as the killer(s), as well… then maybe parents will actually start taking their RESPONSIBILITY as parents seriously.

  5. Grooming their child .. they deserve to be held accountable as many parents do

  6. They love that 2nd amendment🙄

  7. Criminal negligence maybe ….. but murder ? That’s a stretch , from a legal standpoint . Aiding and abetting …. ? But actual murder ?

  8. The News reporter's poor audio edit states that the father bought the gun so his son could shoot the victims. I don't know that he did or didn't, as there has been no trial yet…But NBC sure wants us to believe he did.

  9. Sounds like it started with the parents, they should be tried for the crime

  10. Millions of white kids like this in America who’s parents know they are a danger to others but will never say anything

  11. Doesn't this fly in the face of the following?
    Ezekiel 18:20 – The person who sins will die. The son will not bear the punishment for the father’s iniquity, nor will the father bear the punishment for the son’s iniquity; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself.

  12. Parants are guilty as sin in this. It is time parants that produce these monsters be held accountable, no more excuses.

  13. The issue is much deeper than guns. Ignoring the real problem will only make it worse.

  14. Sounds like these parents have it coming.

  15. But if a black minor kills people not one charge on the parents this is racist

  16. Is this a racist white liberal family

  17. Americans must love being humiliated and laughed at because here we go again…The Rise and Fall of the Divided Sates.

    1 in 5 American children die from gunshots. Weekly school shootings and more mass shootings than days in a year.

    Why do migrants put their children in mortal danger bringing them to the 'land of the school shootings'?

  18. California and their masks…😂

  19. Nope. This is justice! They will be hoping straight to prison

  20. What the heck is that text message that she sent her son about needing to be better at not getting caught…so messed up

  21. Both mother and father of the killer should be convicted and sentenced to prison for years for each person their son killed with a gun they gave him knowing he was crazy.

  22. Gun owners created one of the unsafest country in the world.

  23. LOL is what his mom said after he asked for a giggle switch. It literally had his victims ROF

  24. Sooo does every parent face charges if their child commits murder ?

  25. Absolutely guily they bought the gun
