Parents can be tried for son's school shooting: Appeals court (Aljazeera.com)

A US court rules James and Jennifer Crumbley, whose son killed four in a school attack, can be tried for manslaughter.

The court’s decision referenced instances in which Ethan described hallucinations to his parents in text messages, including the belief that he was being haunted by a demon. He called emergency services a little more than half an hour after the attack to express concern that his son might be the shooter. The judge noted that the gun depicted in the sketch resembled the firearm his parents “had very recently gifted to him”. Jennifer, who had taken Ethan to a shooting range the weekend prior, responded by initiating a text-message conversation with her son in which she told him: “I’m not mad. They also determined that his parents’ “actions and inactions were inexorably intertwined” with the murders he committed. The following Monday, Ethan was caught researching ammunition on his phone during class at Oxford High School near Detroit, where he was a sophomore.
