Oxford School Shooter's Mother Seeks Release From Prison During Appeal

Jennifer Crumbley's attorney argues her imprisonment is unjust as she appeals her conviction for involuntary manslaughter in connection with the 2021 school shooting.

Jennifer Crumbley, convicted of involuntary manslaughter for her role in the Oxford High School shooting, has requested release from prison while her appeal is pending.
Her attorney claims Crumbley is not a flight risk or threat to the public, arguing that her imprisonment during the lengthy appeals process is unfair.
Prosecutors maintain that Crumbley was convicted for her own actions and inactions, not her son's, and should remain incarcerated during the appeal.
The 2021 shooting, carried out by Crumbley's son Ethan, left four students dead and seven others injured; Ethan is serving a life sentence without parole.
Jennifer and her husband James Crumbley were the first parents in the U.S. to be convicted for a mass shooting committed by their child, with both sentenced to 10-15 years in prison.
