James Crumbley's Change of Venue Request Denied Ahead of Trial

The father of the Oxford High shooter will face trial in Oakland County, despite concerns over jury impartiality due to high publicity.

James Crumbley's request for a trial venue change was denied by a judge, affirming he can receive a fair trial in Oakland County.
The decision allows for a potential renewal of the venue change request during jury selection if deemed necessary.
Crumbley faces charges of involuntary manslaughter for his alleged role in the 2021 Oxford High School shooting, which resulted in four student deaths.
His wife, Jennifer Crumbley, was convicted of the same charges earlier this month, marking a precedent in parental accountability for school shootings.
The trial is set to begin on March 5, with jury selection highlighting the varied impact and awareness of the case among local citizens.
