The jury is currently deliberating in the trial of the father of Oxford High School shooter Ethan Crumbly. They have been deliberating for about two hours with no updates on their progress. The jury consists of six men and six women, and the charges being considered are for involuntary manslaughter.
This case is significant as it could set a precedent for holding a parent accountable for the actions of their child in a mass shooting. In this instance, James Crumbly is accused of providing his son with a gun, failing to secure it properly, and ultimately leading to the tragic events at Oxford High School.
