How The Parents Of A School Shooter Ended Up Behind Bars True Crime Conversations

    • True Crime

What a 15-year-old student unleashed on Oxford High School in 2021, didn’t just land himself in prison, he took his mother and father down with him. 
Jennifer and James Crumbley became the first parents convicted in a US mass shooting, each receiving at least 10 years in prison. 
Speaking with Sins of the Child podcast creators Jessica Lowther and Cooper Moll, we aim to unpick some of the most complex questions within this story about community, school responsibility and the role parents have in their children’s lives.
