James, Jennifer Crumbley’s attorneys plan to call Ethan to testify in their Oxford shooting case – By FOX 2 Staff (Fox 2 Detroit) / June 27, 2022
SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (FOX 2) – Before Ethan Crumbley is in court for his own trial, he could appear in court to testify on behalf of his own parents after their defense team announced in court that they plan to call the accused Oxford High School shooter.
On Monday, James and Jennifer Crumbley appeared in court for a hearing regarding several motions their defense team had filed in an attempt to dismiss evidence, have the case moved, and to get the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office to stop discussing the case. The judge agreed to some motions to dismiss some evidence, rejected the attempt to move the trial, and ordered both the prosecution and defense to stop talking about the trial in public.
But towards the end of the hearing, the matter of when the trial will take place was brought up – and that’s when a bombshell was dropped by the defense attorneys: they plan to call Ethan Crumbley to the stand to testify on behalf of his parents.
Both James and Jennifer are facing involuntary manslaughter charges after their son Ethan Crumbley is accused of killing four classmates last year.
