Prosecutors offer new evidence of Crumbley parents' 'consciousness of guilt' to Supreme Court

DETROIT — Oakland County prosecutors have brought new evidence to the Michigan Supreme Court of the "consciousness of guilt" by the parents of the Oxford High School shooter as they appeal their involuntary manslaughter charges to the state's highest court.

Among the revelations, County Prosecutor Karen McDonald's office noted that James Crumbley took the receipt for the gun he had bought his son with him when he and his wife Jennifer fled Oakland County after the November 2021 shooting. James Crumbley had the receipt on him when he was arrested.

"Defendants' flight and the taking of the receipt for the murder weapon during such flight provide an inference of their consciousness of guilt," prosecutors wrote.
