Judge grants request that school shooter’s name not be used

Associated Press  

A judge has granted a prosecutor’s request that a Michigan teen charged in a fatal school shooting not be named in court during his parents’ separate criminal trial. Oakland County Circuit Judge Cheryl Matthews in her ruling Monday ordered that Ethan Crumbley’s name not be spoken openly in court or used in writing in the case against James and Jennifer Crumbley. “I was relieved the judge understood the issue and took it seriously and recognizes the need that this doesn’t happen again,” McDonald said of the notoriety some school shooters attain. He wanted to be famous and he wanted to be remembered.” “So when we repeat the Oxford shooter’s name and continuously publicize his photo, we’re contributing to future shooting,” McDonald said then. Matthews ruled Monday that Ethan Crumbley’s Smith and Lehman have insisted James and Jennifer Crumbley didn’t know their son might plan an attack and didn’t make the gun easy to find in their home.
