This means both James and Jennifer Crumbley will stand trail in connection to the Oxford High School shooting, which happened in November 2021.

In May, the Crumbleys asked the high court to hear their cases saying they aren’t at fault for the shooting and their son should be solely blamed.

The requests were filed after the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled in March there is enough evidence for the parents to stand trial.

Both James and Jennifer Crumbley are charged with involuntary manslaughter.

On Friday, Sept. 29, a judge ruled their son is eligible to be sentenced to life in prison without parole. A sentencing decision will be rendered in December.
