Aside from telling the judge that he could hear him, Ethan Crumbley said nothing. The hearing was an arraignment on charges of murder, terrorism, assault and gun crimes.
“Waive a formal reading and enter a not guilty plea on behalf of my client,” Crumbley’s attorney said.
Crumbley is facing 24 charges as an adult in connection with the mass shooting including:
- One count of terrorism causing death
- Four counts of first-degree murder
- Seven counts of assault with intent to murder
- 12 counts of possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony
Crumbley is being held without bond. His parents, Jennifer and James Crumbley, are also being held. They are facing charges of involuntary manslaughter for allegedly providing Crumbley with the weapon and ignoring red flags leading up to the mass shooting.
The hearing lasted four minutes.
