Oxford Shooter's Mother Seeks to Overturn Conviction in Landmark Case

Jennifer Crumbley, convicted of involuntary manslaughter for her son's 2021 school shooting, claims prosecutorial overreach and trial errors in her appeal.

Jennifer Crumbley has filed a motion requesting an acquittal or a new trial, arguing her conviction was based on prosecutorial overreach and legal inconsistencies.
Crumbley was sentenced to 10-15 years in prison after being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for her role in the Oxford High School shooting that left four students dead in 2021.
Her attorney alleges that the prosecution withheld evidence of cooperation agreements with key school officials, which could have influenced the jury's decision.
The defense also claims the jury instructions were flawed, allowing a conviction without unanimous agreement on the specific grounds of guilt.
Prosecutors maintain that Crumbley and her husband ignored clear warnings about their son's mental state, failed to secure the firearm he used, and bear responsibility for the tragedy.
