The quaint Michigan township of Oxford is rocked by a devastating tragedy when a 15-year-old boy opens fire at the local high school.

The Oxford High School shooter is charged with murder and terrorism. While the Oakland County Prosecutor makes her case to try him as an adult, it becomes undeniable that the shooter’s parents bear some responsibility in the senseless murders of four teenagers. In a legal landmark, involuntary manslaughter charges are announced against Jennifer and James Crumbley. But Jennifer and James are nowhere to be found.

On November 30, 2021, when Ethan Crumbley opened fire on his classmates at Oxford High School killing four students, the reactions to this modern American phenomenon were sadly familiar. The events that unfolded in the aftermath of the Michigan shooting, however, were anything but. The teenage assailant’s parents, Jennifer and James, were thrust into the national spotlight, when, in an unprecedented turn of events, the two were charged in connection with their son’s acts of violence. Raising questions about parental responsibility, agency and what could have been done to prevent the heartbreaking tragedy, Law and Crime presents the most in-depth analysis to date – exploring these complex questions and more by taking you behind the scenes of the historic trials of Jennifer and James Crumbley in SINS OF THE CHILD.
