Ethan Crumbley Wants 'Life Without Parole' Dismissed From Sentencing

PONTIAC, MI — Ethan Crumbley asked an Oakland County judge to remove the "life without parole" condition from a possible sentencing after pleading guilty to the deadly Oxford school shooting, according to court documents.

Crumbley, 17, also asked the judge if he can wear "street clothes" instead of an orange prison jumpsuit during his Miller hearing, in which a judge will decide if Crumbley can face life in prison without the possibility of parole, according to court documents.

A judge was expected to decide on Wednesday if Crumbley can wear street clothes, according to court documents.

Since a first-degree murder conviction typically brings an automatic life prison sentence in Michigan, Crumbley is entitled to the Miller hearing because he's a minor.

The Miller allows Crumbley's lawyers the opportunity to argue for a shorter sentence and the possibility for parole. Crumbley cannot be sentenced until the hearing is completed. The hearing is scheduled for July 27.

Ethan Crumbley, who was 15 at the time of the deadly shooting, admitted to killing four students and wounding seven other people at Oxford High School on Nov. 30. He pleaded guilty to 24 charges in connection to the deadly shooting. He faces life in prison without parole.

The four students killed in the shooting were: 14-year-old Hana St. Juliana, 16-year-old Tate Myre, 17-year-old Madisyn Baldwin and 17-year-old Justin Shilling.

Ethan's parents, Jennifer and James Crumbley were each charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter in connection to the deadly school shooting, making them the first parents ever charged in connection to a school shooting.

The Michigan Supreme Court is fielding an appeal from the couple to have the case thrown out after an Oakland County Judge ruled in March both parents can face trial on charges in connection to the deadly school shooting.
