The parents of the teenage boy who killed four of his classmates and injured six others and a teacher at Oxford High School in 2021 are appealing their case to the Michigan Supreme Court.
The attorneys for James and Jennifer Crumbley, who are each charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the shooting, argue Oakland County District Court Judge Julie Nicholson abused her discretion when she sent the cases to circuit court to stand trial.
Nicholson wrote: "The deaths of the four victims could have been avoided if the Mr. and Mrs. Crumbley exercised ordinary care and diligence in the care of their son."
