Michigan prosecutors: Crumbleys' lying friend shouldn't house couple if freed on bail

PONTIAC, Mich. — Oakland County prosecutors on Tuesday attacked the credibility of proposed living arrangements for James and Jennifer Crumbley if they were to be released on bond, arguing that the person designated to house them had legal issues and is not responsible enough.

In a Tuesday court filing, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Marc Keast said James Crumbley's attorney, Mariell Lehman, sent the court an email Sunday about a person who said the Crumbleys could live with him if they were released on bond.

The Crumbleys are in custody on four counts each of involuntary manslaughter connected to their son's killing of four students and wounding of six students and a teacher in the mass shooting at Oxford High School in November 2021. Their case is in the Michigan Court of Appeals awaiting a hearing to determine if there is enough evidence for them to stand trial.
