PONTIAC, Mich. — Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald challenged allegations of inappropriate pretrial publicity in the manslaughter case of the parents of the accused Oxford High shooting suspect and said she would not object to a media gag order for both sides.
McDonald’s office was reacting to an emergency motion filed this week by defense attorneys for James and Jennifer Crumbley, parents of accused shooter Ethan Crumbley, who accused her of inappropriate and unethical pretrial comments. McDonald's office replied Wednesday that the same attorneys raised the same issue to Judge Cheryl Matthews in May 18 filings, to which McDonald responded last week.
McDonald described it as “an attempt to circumvent Court Rules.”
