Accused Oxford School Shooter Waves Preliminary Exam

PONTIAC, MI — Accused Oxford school shooter, Ethan Crumbley waived his preliminary exam during Friday's probable cause conference and will be bound over to circuit court for trial in connection to the Oxford school shooting on Nov. 30. He will be sent straight to trail and his bond will be addressed in two weeks.

His parents, James and Jennifer Crumbley are expected to appear in court Friday at 1:15 p.m.

Ethan Crumbley appeared in court at 9:00 a.m. after his first probable cause conference was adjourned so the prosecution and defense could review evidence. During that conference, a judge denied Crumbley's request to moved to moved back to a juvenile facility because he could hear adult inmates.

Ethan Crumbley is accused of killing four students and wounding seven other people at Oxford High School on Nov. 30. He was charged with 24 counts, including first-degree murder and terrorism in connection to the shooting.

His parents, James and Jennifer Crumbley will appear in court at 1:15 p.m. attempting to get their bond reduced. Both parents are each held on a $500,000 bond.

Prosecutors have argued that James and Jennifer Crumbley pose a flight risk if their bond is reduced and they're able to post it.

Prosecutors outlined detailed descriptions of the parents ignoring their son's depression and other warning signs leading up to the shooting, such as drawings and torturing animals.

Prosecutors also cited the parents' extramarital affairs and the couple being $11,000 behind in house payments as reasons they pose a flight risk.

However, lawyers for James and Jennifer Crumbley have said they don't pose a flight risk and their bond should be lowered.

James and Jennifer Crumbley were charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter in connection to the Oxford school shooting on Nov. 30. They were arrested in a warehouse in Detroit after they were reported missing for several hours.
