A Michigan court denied Ethan Crumbley’s appeal to withdraw his guilty plea in the Oxford High School shooting case, citing a lack of merit in his claims. Crumbley was sentenced to life without parole for the 2021 shooting that killed four students and injured others.
Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald stated the ruling reaffirms the severity of Crumbley’s crimes and emphasized the prevention of such tragedies. Crumbley’s parents are serving 10-year prison terms for involuntary manslaughter due to their role in making a gun accessible at home.
