Prosecution: We have more dirt on the Crumbleys. It's time to try this case.

(Detroit Free Press) In yet another push to send them to trial, the prosecution says it has more damning evidence on James and Jennifer Crumbley — the first parents in America to be charged in a mass school shooting.

With the historic case now in the hands of the Michigan Supreme Court, the prosecution has disclosed yet another round of blistering allegations against the parents, whose son killed four Oxford High School students and injured seven others in 2021, using a gun his parents bought him as a present.

In its latest court filing, the prosecution says it has “additional evidence” showing the Crumbleys were grossly negligent in the hours, days and months before the massacre, including:

Jennifer Crumbley disclosed in a recorded interview after the shooting that she paid little attention to the drawings that her son had made on a math worksheet on the morning before the shooting. The drawing included a gun, a bleeding body, and the words “The thoughts won’t stop, help me.” The Crumbleys were summoned to the school over the drawings, though Jennifer Crumbley — that same day — allegedly told an interviewer that she “didn’t even look at them closely.”

James Crumbley took the receipt for the murder weapon — the gun they had gifted their son — with them on the night they fled their home following the shooting. The receipt was in their possession when authorities found them hiding out in a Detroit warehouse and apprehended them. Prosecutors allege the receipt and flight show a “consciousness of guilt.” ..............(more)
