James Crumbley, the father of convicted Michigan school shooter Ethan Crumbley, is set to go on trial Tuesday a month after his wife, Jennifer,was convictedof four counts of involuntary manslaughter.

Crumbley is facing the same charges as his wife, who is scheduled to be sentenced in April. DuringJennifer’s trial, prosecutors argued she did nothing to prevent her son killing four students at Oxford High School in Oxford, Mich., in November 2021.

The victims of the shootings were Hana St. Juliana, 14, Tate Myre, 16, Justin Shilling, 17, and Madisyn Baldwin, 17.

According to a report fromNBC, James bought his son the gun used in the shooting. Jennifer testified that James had decided to buy it on Black Friday in 2021.

Another key moment in Jennifer’s trial was when prosecutors referenced a meeting the morning of the shooting between school officials and both parents.

The parents were brought in after the school saw a drawing of a gun the shooter made on a math worksheet, according to the prosecution. But the meeting ended abruptly, prosecutors said, and the parents declined to bring their son home.
