James Crumbley faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted of four counts of involuntary manslaughter in the November 30, 2021, shooting at Oxford High School, in which Ethan killed four students and wounded six students and a teacher.

He is the first witness in James' trial who didn't also testify in Jennifer's trial. However, the information he provided was similar to Jennifer's. " was talking to his son and mentioned that, you know, you have people you can talk to - you have your counselor, you have your journal, we talk," Oxford High School counselor Shawn Hopkins said.
The case against James Crumbley, like the one against his wife, is set to test the limits of who is responsible for a mass shooting. Prosecutors aiming to expand the scope of blame in mass shootings have used an unusual and novel legal strategy by arguing the shooter's parents are responsible for the deaths because they got him a gun and disregarded signs of his mental health issues.
On cross-examination, Hopkins said he had not notified the Crumbleys about three other instances of Ethan's concerning behavior flagged by his teachers. "You have to remember, I knew very little of what we all know today," Ejak said. "So, when we're looking at the big picture of today, I knew a fraction of what we all know now."
