CRUMBLEY VERDICT: Parents Face Historic Accountability for Child’s Deadly Actions

CRUMBLEY VERDICT: Parents Face Historic Accountability for Child’s Deadly Actions

In a landmark decision, a Michigan jury found James Crumbley guilty of four counts of involuntary manslaughter. This verdict stems from the fatal shooting carried out by his son, Ethan Crumbley, at Oxford High School in November 2021. The case marks an unprecedented moment in which parents are held liable for their child’s violent behavior.

James and Jennifer Crumbley faced charges after their 15-year-old son tragically ended the lives of four students and wounded seven others. Keith Johnson, a criminal defense attorney, suggests that this case could establish a new standard for parental accountability when weapons brought into homes result in mass shootings.

The Crumbleys have made history as the first parents to be tried in relation to a mass school shooting incident in the U.S. James was indicted for failing to properly secure his firearm at home and neglecting his son’s mental health concerns.

In line with his wife’s earlier decision during her separate trial in February, James elected not to testify during his trial. Jennifer was also found guilty on all charges and is set to receive her sentence next month.

Jerry Bruckheimer, one of the Pirates of the Caribbean producers, has said he would “love” to see Johnny Depp return to his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the upcoming sixth movie.

During the Oscars, Bruckheimer confirmed that they are working on the next installment of the legendary franchise.

Depp was dropped from the film after his ex-wife Amber Heard accused him of domestic abuse. However, he was vindicated when a US court ruled Heard had defamed him with false allegations.

WASHINGTON Officers CLEARED: The Shocking Verdict in the Manuel Ellis Case Unveiled

Three Washington state police officers were recently absolved of all charges pertaining to the 2020 demise of Manuel Ellis. Officers Matthew Collins and Christopher Burbank, who were facing second-degree murder and manslaughter charges, along with Timothy Rankine charged with manslaughter, have been acquitted.

The courtroom reacted noticeably as the jury declared all three officers not guilty. Rankine was visibly touched by the outcome, while Collins shared an embracing moment with his attorney.

Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson expressed appreciation for everyone involved in the case. On a different note, the Washington Coalition for Police Accountability viewed this verdict as a sign of a malfunctioning system.

After hearing the verdict, Ellis’s family promptly exited. The state’s Office of Independent Investigations refrained from commenting directly on this result but extended their condolences to Ellis’s family.
