Jennifer Crumbley, the mother of the Oxford school shooter who was convicted, has requested to be released from prison, arguing that it would be unfair to keep her locked up during her appeals process.
Her request came after she was convicted of four counts of involuntary manslaughter for the shooting her son carried out at Oxford High School on Nov. 30, 2021, resulting in the death of four students and injuries to seven others. Her husband, James Crumbley, was also convicted on the same charges.
Crumbley’s attorney filed a motion in court, stating that she is not a flight risk and does not pose a danger to the public.
