Prosecutors argued that the Crumbley parents did, indeed, have “reasonable foreseeability” and violated their legal duty to take actions to prevent the deadly shooting.
The Michigan Court of Appeals has ruled that the case against the parents of school shooter Ethan Crumbley, each facing four counts of involuntary manslaughter for the murders committed by their son, can move forward.
The ruling follows the March 7 hearing when Judges Michael Riordan, Christopher Murray and Christopher Yates heard arguments about whether probable cause exists to continue with the case against James and Jennifer Crumbley, charged in connection with the mass shooting at Oxford High School on Nov. 30, 2021.
Assistant prosecutor Joseph Shada argued that the Crumbley parents did, indeed, have “reasonable foreseeability” and violated their legal duty to take actions to prevent the shootings. The trial had been scheduled to start last January before Oakland County Circuit Judge Cheryl Matthews, but was postponed after Lehman and Smith appealed to the higher court.
In the ruling, issued March 23, Riordan elaborated on the reasons for his opinion, referencing Ethan Crumbley as “EC” and stating, in part: “In the end, our decision today is consistent with principles of proximate causation and individual responsibility in criminal law. Our legal system does not, nor should it, criminally punish people for subpar, odd, or eccentric parenting, or require that children be deprived of any instrumentality that otherwise is legal to possess and use.
