The 15-year-old is facing charges of premeditated murder and over a dozen other charges in the school shooting that took place on Nov. 30.

Crumbley’s attorney has made mental illness claims, and the prosecution believes the teenager is a danger to society that belongs at the Oakland County Jail.

A lot went into consideration when making the decision.
