Trial for Michigan school shooter's mother: Revelations from testimony, evidence in historic case
Fox News
Michigan school shooter Ethan Crumbley's mother, Jennifer Crumbley, took the witness stand this week during her criminal trial for involuntary manslaughter.
"As a parent, you spend your whole life trying to protect your child from other dangers," Jennifer Crumbley said on the witness stand Thursday while answering questions from the defense. "You never would think you'd have to protect your child from harming someone else. That's what blew my mind. That was the hardest thing I had to stomach is that my child harmed and killed other people." "I wish he would have killed us instead." "She wants you to believe she's somebody she's not." Photos showed shooting range targets with bullet holes hung up in Ethan's messy bedroom, which had clutter on the floor and on his bed.

She stopped short of calling herself a victim, saying the true victims in the case are the families of the deceased, but she added that she has lost "a lot" as a result of the shooting and her son's actions. Ethan Crumbley, who was 15 at the time of the shootings, pleaded guilty to his crimes last year and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
