"Jennifer Crumbley’s convictions for involuntary manslaughter stem from a trial riddled with legal errors where key evidence was withheld, and cooperation agreements were peddled and suppressed to secure testimony for the prosecution to convict an individual who committed no crime," appellate attorney Michael Dezsi toldThe Detroit Free Press, calling the case a “sham prosecution.” At issue are confidential proffer agreements between the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office and a former school counselor and dean. Dezsi claims neither Crumbley’s original defense nor the jury knew about the agreements with these two officials, which he argues encouraged the staffers to shift the blame onto Jennifer Crumbley. Later that day, he carried out the shooting, wounding seven and killing four people: Hana St. Juliana, 14; Tate Myre, 16; Madisyn Baldwin, 17, and Justin Shilling, 17. open image in gallery James and Jennifer Crumbley were the first parents in U.S. history to be criminally convicted for their role in a mass school shooting carried out by their child. Last month, the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office and the Michigan Attorney General’s Office announced they’d agreed to work together to investigate the shooting, following demands from parents of vicitms for further accountability, and an outside report that found leaders at all levels of Oxford Community Schools also “bear responsibility” for the shooting.
