No new trials for Michigan school shooter’s parents despite violation by prosecutors, judge rules
June 11, 2025
A judge has turned down requests for new trials by the parents of a Michigan school shooter. The judge says prosecutors willfully failed to disclose agreements with two key witnesses. But she says setting aside the involuntary manslaughter convictions of James and Jennifer Crumbley would be too severe. Defense lawyers didn’t know that two officials at Oxford High School were assured that information given to investigators would not be used against the officials. The Crumbleys were accused of being negligent before the shooting. Four students died in 2021.
