he mother of a shooter who killed four students at a high school in Oxford, Mich., in 2021 was found guilty Tuesday on all charges of involuntary manslaughter.

Jennifer Crumbley, 45, had pleaded not guilty to four involuntary manslaughter counts, and the jury found her guilty after 10 hours of deliberation, per CNN.

Her son, Ethan Crumbley, was sentenced to life in prison in December after he pleaded guilty in 2022 to two dozen charges, including terrorism and first-degree murder.

Just because it could not be allowed at trial does not mean it did not happen.
Did you follow the kids trial?
Did you listen to the kids friends?
Yes, he did tell them what he was going to do, that is why the investigation into the parents began.

“Just because it could not be allowed at trial does not mean it did not happen.”

You clearly don’t know how the law works. If something is not placed into evidence at trial, it CANNOT BE USED in determining fact and guilt or innocence.

“Did you follow the kids trial?”

The kid didn’t HAVE a trial. He pleaded guilty.

Know of what you speak, before you speak.

Now you’re just being pedantic.

If adults can’t secure their firearms as specified by law they should be busted

Who in their right mind buys a 15 year old a 9mm handgun and says go have fun junior? All the states should have similar gun safety laws and force the adults to have some common sense for a change.

She knew her kid was a violent dirtbag punk and did nothing at all to prevent him from shooting up a school.

I guess we can be like the Chinese.
when a family member commits a crime
such as this, they execute them, and the grand parents, and the parents, and the siblings.
So family there is very concerned about any family nut cases.

I don’t want hear hypothetical examples that were legal items used wrongly compared to a deadly weapon given to a kid. It doesn’t work that way. Kids aren’t supposed to have deadly weapons. Period. If you don’t know that be ready to face prison

People are killed with hammers, bats, golf clubs, kitchen knives, etc. Should every parent that allows their kid to use these devices also get thrown in jail?

Sure, it sounds like she was neglectful in knowing her kid and his behavior, and shouldn't have given him a gun, but letting kids have guns is not in and of itself irresponsible.

His father has since been found guilty as well
