The teenager who killed four students and injured six others and a teacher at Oxford High School in November 2021 will still have the possibility of being sentenced to life in prison without parole, despite his attorney's attempt to convince the judge otherwise.
Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Kwame Rowe ruled Tuesday that the prosecution's motion to sentence Ethan Crumbley to life without parole in prison will stand. Rowe also denied the shooter's motions to wear street clothes during the upcoming Miller hearing, which will determine if it is appropriate and fair to sentence him to life without parole, and his motion to exclude some testimony from the Miller hearing.
"The Court finds that Defendant's argument is not persuasive and is without merit," Rowe wrote. "Defendant's argument is not ripe, and the Court cannot and will not dismiss the People's Motion for Life Without Parole."
