Prosecution picks apart Jennifer Crumbley’s parenting of shooter son during cross-examination
The mother of school shooter Ethan Crumbley, Jennifer Crumbley, has returned to the stand during her trial. Prosecutors allege she was too engrossed in her hobbies and an extramarital affair to notice her son’s deteriorating mental state. Prosecutors argue that her decision to leave her son at school, despite having met with school officials about a disturbing drawing found by his teacher earlier that day, shows a pattern of unlawful negligence. This unprecedented trial is examining whether a parent can be held criminally responsible for their child’s actions in a school shooting. Jennifer Crumbley, 45, is being charged with involuntary manslaughter and the jury must decide if she is guilty by either not storing the firearm securely or failing to exercise “reasonable care” of her son.
