Michigan Supreme Court allows trial for parents of Oxford High shooter to proceed on involuntary manslaughter charges

The Michigan Supreme Court declined an appeal, allowing the parents of the Oxford High School shooter to be tried for involuntary manslaughter.
Prosecutors argue the parents were negligent in providing their son with a gun and ignoring his mental health issues.
The shooter pleaded guilty to terrorism and murder charges for killing four students and injuring others in November 2021.
Defense lawyers contend the shooting was not foreseeable and involuntary manslaughter charges are unwarranted.
This is the first time parents have faced criminal charges related to a mass shooting by their child in the US.
