OXFORD, Mich. – Both sides gave their closing arguments at the trial of the Oxford shooter’s mother on Friday.
After seven days of testimony, the trial for Jennifer Crumbley came to an end. The jury was instructed to not discuss or read about the case over the weekend. Deliberations will begin on Monday, Feb. 5.
Prosecutors introduced 21 witnesses throughout the trial while the defense only introduced a single witness: Jennifer Crumbley herself.
Jennifer and James Crumbley are both facing four counts of involuntary manslaughter in connection with their son’s Nov. 30, 2021, mass shooting. The charges stem from the deaths of 14-year-old Hana St. Juliana, 16-year-old Tate Myre, 17-year-old Madisyn Baldwin, and 17-year-old Justin Shilling.
The shooter was sentenced in December to life in prison without the chance of parole.
