PONTIAC, Mich. — An Oakland Circuit judge denied defense attorneys' request to have bonds modified for the parents of the accused Oxford High shooter, who are facing charges related to the Nov. 30 shooting.
James and Jennifer Crumbley, parents of the accused shooter, Ethan Crumbley, are charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter in the deaths of four Oxford High teenagers killed in the shooting: Madisyn Baldwin, 17; Tate Myre, 16; Hana St. Juliana, 14; and Justin Shilling, 17.
The Crumbleys have been described as grossly negligent in their care of their son, 15 at the time of the incident, and who reportedly asked them to provide him with psychiatric counseling because he was hearing voices and having hallucinations. Investigators say they purchased him a handgun as an early Christmas present and took him to a range to learn how to fire the weapon, later used to kill four and wound seven others including a teacher.
