What could happen to the school shooter guilty of killing 4 students?
According to WENY News, in Michigan a first degree murder charge is automatic life in prison. For teenagers, their lawyers can hold a hearing and argue for a shorter sentence and possibility of parole.
Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald stated there are no other cases were a mass shooter was convicted on terrorism on state charges.
Crumbley had originally pleaded with an insanity defense, but withdrew it. When questioned by the judge he said he understood the consequences.
What’s happening with his parents?
The shooter’s parents, James and Jennifer Crumbley, are in jail. Their charges are for involuntary manslaughter.
They made the gun accessible to their son and ignored his mental health issues. There is currently a no contact order between Ethan and his parents.
