DETROIT — Oakland County prosecutors said Tuesday that accused Oxford High School shooter Ethan Crumbley was "calculated" and "enjoyed his dark side," while defense lawyers countered that the teen cried out for help but received none.
Ahead of a Nov. 30 rampage, the teen allegedly plotted in text messages and a private journal the type of gun he needed to "maximize the number of kills" he could get, who he would target first, and his plan to surrender "to witness the pain and suffering he caused," according to prosecutors.
But Crumbley's defense team depicted the teen as mentally unwell and crying out for help that he didn't get ahead of the shooting that left four of his classmates dead and six other students and a teacher wounded.
