Prosecutors say school shooter Ethan Crumbley's parents show 'chilling lack of remorse' after manslaughter convictions

[ShazzieB]

In newly filed court documents, Michigan prosecutors are asking a judge to sentence the parents of school shooter Ethan Crumbley to at least 10 years in prison, alleging they have both showed a “chilling lack of remorse” after they were convicted for involuntary manslaughter.

In two separate sentencing memorandums dated April 3, Oakland County prosecutors asked the judge to sentence each parent to 10 to 15 years in state prison.

The prosecutors allege Crumbley’s father has repeatedly threatened Prosecuting Attorney Karen McDonald and has said “there will be retribution,” while the mother has asked to serve her sentence under house arrest in her defense attorney’s home.

James and Jennifer Crumbley were both found guilty on four counts of involuntary manslaughter in two separate trials this year for their roles in their son’s mass shooting at Oxford High School on November 30, 2021. Jurors found they were both grossly negligent in allowing their teenage son to have a gun and ignoring signs of his spiraling mental health. Ethan, who was 15 at the time, killed four classmates – Madisyn Baldwin, 17; Tate Myre, 16; Hana St. Juliana, 14; and Justin Shilling, 17 – and injured seven other people.

The whole thing is worth a read if you have the time.

These people are...strange. I actually feel sorry for Ethan. With parents like these, he never really had a chance.

1. Ghouls

Four kids are dead, and they think they are the victims.
I notice now that they're asking for leniency, they are changing their tune. Seems a lot late for that.

2. They both need to be in jail for the maximum, and then sterilized before release

They cannot be trusted with the responsibility of raising children or owning pets.

Gotta make laws that hurt the enablers.
