The parents of Michigan school shooter Ethan Crumbley were both charged with manslaughter, but their trial, scheduled for this month, has been postponed, due to a michigan supreme court ruling.
“the michigan supreme court has issued a stay on the involuntary manslaughter cases against James and Jennifer Crumbly, the parents of oxford high school shooter Ethan Crumbley.
“in an order released on tuesday [november 29], the michigan supreme court paused the trial and sent the case back to the michigan court of appeals to see if there was enough evidence for James and Jennifer to be bound over for trial.
“the Crumbleys were expected to go to trial on the charges in january, but this ruling will likely delay the trial from starting.
“each of them is facing four charges of involuntary manslaughter for the deaths of Madisyn Baldwin, 17, Justin Shilling, 17, Tate Myre, 16 and Hana St. Juliana, 14. They were killed by Ethan during the shooting at oxford high school on nov. 30, 2021. seven other people, including a teacher, were also shot and injured [sic].”
“‘justice Richard Bernstein dissented from the supreme court’s order, saying that the appeals process is designed so these issues are taken up after trial.
“‘moreover, addressing causation at this stage will unnecessarily delay the trial proceedings, which are set to begin in january. in order to avoid needless delay, I would prefer to remand to the court of appeals simply for that court to reconsider defendant’s challenge to the denial of the motion to quash in light of the concern articulated in Yost, as I believe any substantive questions pertaining to causation should not be addressed until after trial is complete,’ Berstein wrote.”
[N.S.: justice Bernstein’s argument is that we should try and convict defendants, even if there was no legal basis for trying them. That reminds me of the “arguments” advanced by black supremacists and White allies in favor of railroading the Duke Three in the Duke Rape Hoax.]

It remains to be seen what, if anything, will happen to the parents of the six-year-old; given a certain “black privilege” that seems to exist today, likely nothing – but if the child had access to a weapon, most would see them as ultimately responsible.

They just need to do a plea bargain and then the whole mess there will be of course civil suits but they’re probably gonna be settled out of court to his parents just need to sell things now in the easiest way possible
