DETROIT — The Oakland County prosecutor wants to make sure James and Jennifer Crumbley don't get a chance to exchange terms of endearment during hearings and is asking a judge to make sure it doesn't happen in future court appearances.
During an in-person hearing in December, James Crumbley "with his mask partially pulled down, mouthed what appeared to be 'I love you' to defendant Jennifer Crumbley," Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald said in a motion filed to restrict the couple's communications during court proceedings in their involuntary manslaughter case.
When Jennifer Crumbley left the courtroom at that same hearing, "there were additional nonverbal communication" between her and her husband, the filing said.
