The Oxford High School shooter's mother, Jennifer Crumbley, is seeking to overturn her conviction, citing a trial 'tainted from top to bottom' in a new court filing.
New attorneys for the mother of Oxford High School shooter Ethan Crumbley filed a motion on Monday for an acquittal and new trial, arguing that Jennifer Crumbley's criminal trial in connection with the November 2021 shooting was 'tainted from top to bottom.' In a first-of-its-kind case, a Michigan jury in February convicted Jennifer on four counts of involuntary manslaughter for the shooting her son carried out on Nov. 30, 2021, killing Tate Myre, 16; Justin Shilling, 16; Hana St.
He argues in a nearly 700-page filing, in part, that prosecutors gave school counselor Sean Hopkins and former Dean of Students Nicholas Ejak cooperation agreements, or proffer agreements, to testify against Jennifer Crumbley without sharing information about those agreements with Jennifer's defense. Dezsi argues that those agreements with the prosecutor's office allowed Ejak and Hopkins to avoid criminal charges in the case.
The investigation also found that 'n certain critical areas, individuals at every level of the district... failed to provide a safe and secure environment.' Dezsi said in his motion for acquittal that Hopkins and Ejak were 'in the proverbial hotseat hoping to avoid criminal prosecution for their acts and omissions related to the shooting.
This connection exists not simply because of the parent-child relationship but also because of the facts showing that defendants were actively involved in EC’s mental state remaining untreated, that they provided him with the weapon used to kill the victims, and that they refused to remove him from the situation that led directly to the shootings,' the Appeals Court wrote at the time. James and Ethan Crumbley are also separately appealing their convictions.
