Taylor Swift quotes were referenced Thursday during Jennifer Crumbley's criminal trial. Crumbley, mother of school shooter Ethan Crumbley, is charged with involuntary manslaughter.
"None of those problems will be solved by charging Jennifer Crumbley with involuntary manslaughter." "Jennifer Crumbley didn't pull the trigger that day, but she is responsible for those deaths."

Jennifer Crumbley and her husband, James Crumbley, who is being tried separately, are charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter each in Oakland County after Ethan, then 15, killed 16-year-old Tate Myre, 16-year-old Justin Shilling, 14-year-old Hana St. Juliana, and 17-year-old Madisyn Baldwin, and left seven others severely injured on Nov. 30, 2021.
Smith said the case is about prosecutors trying to cover problems related to the school shooting with "a Band-Aid" — in this case, the involuntary manslaughter charges filed against Jennifer.
