Oxford high school shooting: Judge denies lower bond for Crumbley parents
Fox News
An Oakland County, Michigan, judge on Tuesday denied a request for lower bond from Oxford High School shooting suspect Ethan Crumbely's parents, James and Jennifer Crumbley.
James and Jennifer Crumbley had asked for their bond to be reduced from $500,000 each to $100,000 each; Judge Cheryl Matthews denied that request, citing the pair's actions following news of their son's role in the November 2021 shooting.
"The defendants indicate they were devastated when they heard about the alleged actions of their son, felt unsafe in their home, felt hounded by the press, and found it necessary to leave," Matthews said, according to FOX 2 Detroit. "However, the chronology of events that occurred subsequent to the defendants leaving their home is not consistent with cooperation of law enforcement."
