Ethan Crumbley’s dad was convicted on manslaughter charges by a Michigan jury Thursday for allegedly failing to act on warning signs his son was unhinged before he killed four classmates in a 2021 school shooting.
James Crumbley, 47, was found guilty on all four counts of involuntary manslaughter by a jury in a Pontiac, Michigan court after ten hours of deliberations spread over two days and after a five-day trial.
“He did nothing over and over and over again,” prosecutor Karen McDonald said of the father not intervening with his son’s violent behavior during closing arguments Wednesday.
Prosecutors told jurors James failed to intervene despite his teen son’s unstable mental state, including by neglecting to lock up the semi-automatic handgun the dad bought for Ethan as a Christmas present.
