'I refuse to take a victory lap with these prosecutions. It will not bring back these kids. We have a lot more work to do,' said Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald.
Shortly after James Crumbley was found guilty on all four counts of involuntary manslaughter in the Oxford High School mass shooting his son committed in 2021, prosecutors spoke about the decision.The 12-member jury reached the decision regarding Crumbley's verdict after a day of deliberations. Their decision will be the second of its kind after a separate jury trial last month found Jennifer Crumbley guilty on four counts of involuntary manslaughter.
"We need to start focusing on the school and its failures. The things that they don't want to admit to - that's going to be our next plan for change."McDonald said that the gnawing question of how the shooter first got hold of the gun was at the root of the prosecution." started with one question. Where did he get that gun?" she said.
