Michigan School Shooter's Parents to Face Separate Trials

New Evidence Causes Conflict in United Defense, Son Faces Possible Life Sentence

Parents of Michigan school shooter, James and Jennifer Crumbley, will have separate trials for their alleged roles in the deaths of four students.
The decision for separate trials came after prosecutors shared new evidence, causing a conflict in the united defense the Crumbleys had presented for two years.
The Crumbleys are charged with involuntary manslaughter, accused of making a gun accessible to their son at home and ignoring his mental health needs.
Their son, Ethan Crumbley, pleaded guilty to the shooting and faces a possible life sentence on Dec. 8.
Prosecutors noted that two trials will be tough for victims' families and shooting survivors.
