Extra: Should Parents Be Punished For Their Kids’ Crimes?
In a rare case, Jennifer Crumbley, the mother of Oxford High School shooter Ethan Crumble was convicted last month and could face up to fifteen years in prison for her role in the shooting. Prosecutors said she failed to warn authorities about threats her son had made. Now, Ethan’s father, James Crumbley, is also on trial in Michigan for manslaughter.
Shortly after James Crumbley’s trial began, FOX News contributor and George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley joined host Dave Anthony to discuss this unusual case and the legal questions it raises.
Turley explained how the cases against the mother and father differed and explained why he is uncomfortable with the general idea of holding parents legally responsible for the violent actions of their children.
