Parents seek years in prison for parents of Michigan school shooter

Parents of students killed in a Michigan school shooting asked a judge to sentence the attacker’s parents to 10 years in prison Tuesday, condemning them as failures whose selfishness led to four deaths and a community tragedy.

“While you were purchasing a gun for your son and leaving it unlocked, I was helping her finish her college essays,” Beausoleil told James and Jennifer Crumbley.Five deputies in the courtroom stood watch over the Crumbleys and more lined the walls. They are the first parents convicted in a U.S. mass school shooting.

James Crumbley “did not believe that there was reason to be concerned that his son was a threat to anyone,” Lehman said.Prosecutors said “tragically simple actions” by both parents could have stopped the catastrophe. The Crumbleys attended a meeting at the school that lasted less than 15 minutes. They did not mention that the gun resembled one James Crumbley, 47, had purchased just four days earlier — a Sig Sauer 9 mm that Ethan had described on social media as his “beauty.”

There was no trial testimony from specialists about Ethan's state of mind. But the judge, over defense objections, allowed the jury to see excerpts from his journal.
