In newly filed court documents, Michigan prosecutors are asking a judge to sentence the parents of school shooter Ethan Crumbley to at least 10 years in prison, alleging they have both showed a “chilling lack of remorse” after they were convicted for involuntary manslaughter.
In two separate sentencing memorandums dated April 3, Oakland County prosecutors asked the judge to sentence each parent to 10 to 15 years in state prison.
Jurors found they were both grossly negligent in allowing their teenage son to have a gun and ignoring signs of his spiraling mental health.
Ethan, who was 15 at the time, killed four classmates – Madisyn Baldwin, 17; Tate Myre, 16; Hana St. Juliana, 14; and Justin Shilling, 17 – and injured seven other people.
His parents have been behind bars since they were arrested in December 2021 at a Detroit warehouse after leading authorities on a manhunt following the school shooting.
“This was not even the first time that defendant made these types of statements,” prosecutors wrote in the memorandum.
Jennifer Crumbley asked that she be placed under house arrest in her defense attorney’s home, according to prosecutors. »
