Michigan School Shooting: Accused Teenager’s Parents Sentenced To 10-15 Years In Prison For Killing 4 Students.

Michigan School Shooting: The parents of the teenager who killed four students at Oxford High School in Michigan in 2021 were sentenced to 10 to 15 years in prison.

Michigan: Jennifer and James Crumbley became the first parents to be convicted in a US mass school shooting. Their teenage child killed four students in a 2021 school shooting at Oxford High School in Michigan. Both parents were sentenced to 10 to 15 years in prison for failing to take steps that could have prevented the ‘runaway train’—the killing of students.
Notably, Jennifer and James were found guilty of involuntary manslaughter following the presentation of evidence by prosecutors, which included an unsecured gun at home and indifference towards the teen’s mental health.

Judge Cheryl Matthews in the ruling said, “Opportunity knocked over and over again, louder and louder, and was ignored.” No one answered, and these two people should have, and sure didn’t.”
Matthews added that these convictions “confirm repeated acts or lack of acts that could have halted an oncoming runaway train”.

Jennifer and James Crumbley tendered their apology to the victim’s parents for the suffering that their son had caused.
“I sit here today to express my deepest sorrows for the families of Hana, Tate, Madisyn, Justin, and to all those affected on November 30, 2021,” Jennifer reportedly said in the court. “I will be in my own internal prison for the rest of my life,” she added.

“I can’t imagine the pain and agony that the victim families are experiencing,” James said.
“I want to say I can’t imagine the pain and agony … for the families that have lost their children and what they are experiencing and what they are going through. As a parent, our biggest fear is losing our child or our children, and to lose a child is unimaginable. My heart is really broken for everybody involved,” James said.

“I really want the families of Madisyn Baldwin, Hana St Juliana, Tate Myre, and Justin Shilling to know how truly sorry I am and how devastated I was when I heard what happened to them,” he added.

Notably, Jennifer and James Crumbley will get 858 days of credit already served in jail.
