Crumbley parents’ bail not lowered in Michigan school shooting case


A request by the parents of the Oxford High School shooting suspect for a lower bond was denied by an Oakland County, Michigan, Judge Tuesday.

James and Jennifer Crumbley each sought to lower their bond from $500,000 to $100,000 in a filing April 12. Lawyers for the couple argued that the Crumbleys have been unfairly portrayed as bad parents by the prosecution and that the reality of their parenting has not yet been disclosed .

The defense has continued to insist that the parents did not know their son Ethan, 15, would carry out the shooting at the Michigan high school that left four students dead and more injured, including a teacher. A court filing says “the real facts of this case” have been lost in an emotionally charged media narrative surrounding the parents.
