James Crumbley, the father of Oxford High School shooter Ethan Crumbley, has made controversial statements in jail calls following his sentencing for involuntary manslaughter. A Michigan judge sentenced James to serve between 10 and 15 years in prison after he and his wife, Jennifer Crumbley, were found guilty for their roles in the tragic school shooting carried out by their son in November 2021.
In the jail calls, James referred to himself and his wife as 'martyrs' who are fighting to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future. He expressed a sense of duty and likened his situation to joining the military to fight for the freedom and safety of others.
