@@greggdorgan4412 she tried to play stupid with the cable lock. Yet willing admits she likes skeet shooting over target. Very bad move. You can shoot multiples but not lock a gun. Very silly defense as an adult/parent.
@@johnnynobuddy1 Unfortunately there are no manuals on parenting but the government making laws to enforce it is not the answer either. The problem in our country is lack of spirituality in our schools. Our kids are running on their own will, parents are running on their own will and lack a higher power to help direct their thinking. So the result is depression, anxiety, and ultimately mental illness over a long period of time. Im not a religious person but damn, since they took God out of schools it sure has changed things for the worse.
And if she sat there and cried you all would be saying she’s not crying because of what happened and she feels sorry for the victim. She’s crying for herself 🤷🏻♀️ nothing she says or does or is going to appease any of you

@@iveliserojas612 the defence council is shockingly rude and disrespectful.

Parents who purchase weapons but don't secure them, wake up. This trial and outcome will be used to prosecute future parents. Gun purchases are a serious decision with serious consequences, the same as allowing a minor to drive before 16.
So she was cheating her company by having an affair during work hours, she was cheating on her husband and neglecting her child's mental health. Classy.
@@shindlesall due respect, but are you actually high? The child had already been plotting and filming his plan to murder innocent students. The child had also been hallucinating and mom was WELL aware of it and actively ignoring the issues. Just because mom never took him to get a proper diagnosis/treatment, doesn’t mean he didn’t have mental illnesses.
My child was an extremely difficult and disturbing child from the age of 5. She played with fire, cut things with knives, broke anything glass, spoke of demons, stole from everyone along with many other things. I was a single mom of 2 children almost lost my job on several occasions, lost child care, and went to several school meetings due to her behavior. I had her committed into a behavior treatment center multiple times, went to several therapist until we from someone that could challenge her and that she liked, and she was on many different medications. She was removed from my home at age of 15 and was sent to a more controlled treatment center where she caught felony charges from attacking another patient. My point is that I did everything possible to help my child and even though a lot of it didn’t work, I still tried. These parents ignored their son and knowing he was depressed they decide it’s a good idea to buy him a gun!!!! This is why they should be held accountable!!! THEY NEVER TRIED AND COMPLETELY IGNORED HIM!!!! At the same time, the school should be held accountable also!!!!
You are an example of a great parent!!! I’m sorry you went through all that but you parented when these two just couldn’t bother!! Too busy and reckless with their child, sending him out into their community with a deadly weapon-so so dangerous…I hope they are held accountable!
Hats off to you as a single mother you did what most be able to cope with. I can't believe how awful these parents are they really think they did nothing wrong. 😢
You did everything you could sister.. you tried to help at every turn. You even admitted that you were willing to try whatever it took to get your kid some help.. you tried. God bless
You want easy access to guns then don't give crocodile tears when your children are murdered by them. America is one big asylum full of insane people who regard themselves as normal.
Hats off to the prosecutors during this clown show. They are the only professionals in the room. The defense attorney behaves like an entitled 12 year old and the judge behaves like her overindulgent mother. What a farce. Smh

I know. "Ooh, exciting" "We might blush" as the prosecutor is allowed to use further questions of a sexual nature/them is ridiculous from the defense. I have never seen such activity before. The judge shakes her head as defense says, 'we might blush' but refuses to sanction her. WTF! That is crazy.
100% agree and she allows the defence attorney to just jump up and interrupt the prosecution numerous times without admonishing her as to proper courtroom procedure.
@@lizadivine3785she did that so he couldn’t get a mistrial! Which is what he was trying to get. That judge knew exactly what she was doing, this one doesn’t!
Totally inappropriate to say that after the reality of what her son did and the lives lost. The utter destruction of the victims families lives and her sons future is over - , her dismissal of all the signs she missed and she says she would change nothing. 😮😢
It's Hillary Clinton's battle cry of "it takes a village " that women decided that it's OK to drop off your baby as early as 6 weeks to the government and sitters to mold into adulthood.
This woman must have been a nightmare to deal with in any type of dispute or disagreement. Watch her eyes at the distain she feels at being questioned for Any of her actions.
Oh my word, did the defense attorney actually say "it is what it is" 4:45 What a sloppy courtroom. I also find it interesting that no character witnesses were called to testify that she was a loving attentive mother

That kid has a Brother. Who used to live with them. He had to leave. He said Jennifer Crumbley is an absolute lunatic monster. He knew long ago Ethan was severely mentally ill. The signs were there long long ago. He couldn't live with then. Because they are all basket cases. Ethan is just like his Mother. That's where his mental problems came from.
@@Liberty6010and9they had another son? Really? I was baffled when she said Ethan was an oops baby cos I figured there must be another kid but since he was not even mentioned, it led me to assume she only had Ethan
@@suzymoroka297 Ethan's Dad has other kids with his previous Wife. They are only his, not Jennifer's. She only had Ethan. But Ethan's Dad's Son stayed with them a few years ago for awhile. He wanted a everyday relationship with his Dad. And he had to end up leaving and going back with his Mom in a different State. He literally said Jennifer was a monster and ruled over everybody hand and fist. Including his Dad and Ethan. He also said it was clear Ethan was not right mentally. But Jennifer would not even discuss the matter. It's clear to see why. Because she didn't want to deal with the fact he got his mental issues from her. She has mental issues herself. And always did, since she was a kid. He said Jennifer was a narcissist and a monster.
@@Liberty6010and9 thanks for giving me context. She’s so detached and distant from anything to do with her son. When she said that with hindsight she wouldn’t do anything differently I was floored
The defense atty blurting out "this is getting exciting" when Jennifer was testifying to chats on adultfriend app while also having an affair sheds a little light as to why she "loves" defending hardened sex offenders...her word, not mine. Sounds like Shannon Smith enjoys the excitement of hearing how trashy Jennifer was. Shannon, no doubt is also trashy. Uncouth, unprofessional, contemptuous of court decorum, lashing out like a petulant child, even lying in her closing statements. In fact, in her closing her focus was more about defending herself, as if she were on trial. Not a good look or defense for her client.
I couldn’t believe when Crumbley’s attorney said that- was she being sarcastic- implying that the prosecutor wanted to get into this trashy stuff, or is she just trashy? I’m not sure!!
Shannon smiths idiotic "objection" during closing proves her ineptitude not only as an adult but as an attorney. She has no control of her Self, her mouth.
But like, that's the entire point of explaining your legal rights & counsel; to understand the question being asked to make sure you answer it correctly.
Prison isn’t conducive to mental and physical well being. As narcissistic and self centered as she appears to be, I imagine she’s quite distressed. She can’t fraternize or carry on her selfish endeavors.
Yes VERY. cold as ice ,! Do u think she should be held accountable? Wonder what ur opinion is ,if ya don't mind me asking...cause i sure as heck think she should be !! Especially after this cross. Yikes.
Ove never heard attorneys ever making sidemarks like they are kids. Wow. But the prosecutor pretty much shut her the F up. "This isn't a laughing matter" then the look on def face 😂
A lot of adults let this 15 year old boy down….leading to the death of four other kids. The parents and school administrators should also be on trial. The only adult that followed the guidelines was the teacher that reported him to the appropriate school authorities. It’s a shame the school is not liable!
If the school isn't going to be held accountable, Jennifer shouldn't be either. This is officially a witch hunt. Especially sense learning what the defense presented during her examination of Jennifer. She spent more time vacationing with her son and his friend than most parents can afford to financially do. She literally took the school shooter on vacations and outings almost every month. The school shooter wanted to murder people. End of the story.
Yeh. Very annoying that this so-called judge doesn't have control over the court. The attorney testifying rather than examining the witness, and failure by defense to employ accepted legal objections is upsetting.
In this courtroom the judge just lets them give long-winded objections. I don't think they even say objection, they just stand up and talk and talk and talk over one another.
I have never seen a defense attorney fixing her hair, putting on lipstick and adjusting her outfit in the courtroom..Lady you should have did that when you couldn’t get through your closing without going to the bathroom.😂
She said she loves to watch her favorite show with her Daughter. Her favorite show being the Kardashians for heaven's sake! 🙄 That told me everything about her. I would no more expose 1 of my children to the Kardashian trash family than a man on the moon. So gross.
So many people let her child down. Regardless of how the mom actually feels about her parenting, she seems clueless and unlikable during her testimony. I cant believe the jury is finding her sympathetic
I k r. Wow. I can't believe tbh shes coming as a cocky b**** ..there's four dead students. Others wounded n everyone that was there prob has some form of PTSD AND son is doin life damn shame.
I also think the prosecution might have a steep hill to go up. The only thing they have is he had access to the gun. The fact she had an affair has nothing to do this.
I am so happy that she is being held accountable. This woman should have never been have a kid. She isn't a mother. She ignored all the signs because of her own narcissism. Noone else matters but her and 4 people died because of it.
The Crumbley's have been charged because we keep having school shootings, and the guns these young men are using come as gifts from their parents or are household weapons. Something needs to change! Holding parents of minors accountable is at least a start. But we need more changes at the school level, the school should have made sure they took him home and could not come back until he saw a mental health professional.
Talk to the NRA. The NRA blocks absolutely EVERY reasonable regulation introduced. You cannot blame schools when the NRA is kneecapping our entire country.
@@beans2744taking guns away won’t solve the “killing problem”…. Guns are inanimate objects. I saw in the news, the UK is trying to make knives illegal now. Mental health is where the solution lies. Proper parenting by morally sound and caring people is where the solution lies. It’s not as sexy- but it’s reality.
My proposal Oxford law. When anyone buys or registers a gun they must declare if they have children in school or college. The said colleges and schools are notified and flags placed on child's personal file and it follows child as they move. Parents should be advised if gun is used in school shooting they will be implicated. Find out how fast and thorough they are locked up then.
I was actually cringing listening to the defense comments 😬 I feel bad for the prosecution who is treating this trial with the seriousness it deserves and the judge and defense are making it a mockery.
This women is clueless. Parents that ignore children’s mental illness and then have the nerve to purchase a gun for them should be out in jail. I love how she was caught lying as well. She’s a major narcissist. Kid was doomed with these parents. I hope they are found guilty.
If the kid had a mental illness, why was he prosecuted and sentence as a normal person ? Mentally ill people do not stand trials!!! They go to mental institutions not jails!How can you find the kid not mentally sick but claim that the parents were negligent but not providing help for his mental sickness ???
Are you kidding. It’s almost impossible to get off pleading insanity. Dalmer, Charles Manson, Vallow. The list is endless are all in jail. A very large population of the prison are insane people.
She is guilty of a crime because she took him to the shooting range with his brand new gun 2 days before the shooting, and she knew he had issues with depression, and recent triggers to make the depression worse, and she saw the drawing what's a gun that looks exactly like the one that she saw two days earlier him shooting with, why didn't she check his backpack to see if there was a gun in it or take him home to show her the gun. She is completely negligent
You want easy access to guns then don't give crocodile tears when your children are murdered by them. America is one big asylum full of insane people who regard themselves as normal.
This defense attorney has no business representing anyone. This judge lost all control and respect. This man, the prosecutor was excellent and professional. Kudos to him!
I'm three minutes in and I can already say that that defense attorney needs to be disbarred. No respectable attorney would have had this woman testify.
a lawyer should be disbarred for following the law? i’m confused. and your replacement idea is for them to do something illegal (not allow their client their own LEGAL right AND choice to testify)? is your continuing idea that lawyers that break the law should/would still practice law? 😂 are you…12? let’s disbar all lawyers who do their jobs! wtf 😂 i can’t. 🍿😂
Never have I heard such a weak defense. It seems the first 20 minutes was Shannon Smith defending herself for all her trashiness making it seem acceptable to be such an unaware, self-absorbed, workaholic, drunk, pill popping, adulterous, emotionally abusive, dumbed down parent
The defense is asleep, the judge is so bored, the prosecution is ripping it up and saddest thing is if you listen to the details it paints a really sad picture all round so preventable
Omg, he actually asked her for help and she LAUGHED at him!!!!! If I was on that jury that would be all I would need to hear to convict her. That is absolutely despicable. That poor kid was struggling and he didn’t stand a chance with those parents, if that’s what you even call them!
You bought a minor child with questionable behavior a gun and we know this because you stated “We took the gun away” You may have not pulled the trigger Mrs Crumbly but you are just as guilty. I seen one of Ethan journal pages where he wrote: kill pretty girl with future so she can suffer like me… something all the lines like that. This shows your sons way of thinking he believes because his life sucks those children should pay. Can you please explain why your child thinks this way? We already know by cross examination he got his way even when he was punished because the two tangible things you took away he had in his possession, the phone and the gun he used the next day.
I first listened to the media reports then I watched the shooter’s trial. I had already made up my mind that the parents had cruelly abandoned their child, that they were selfish and horrible. Horrible! Then.. I watched cross of Jennifer by prosecutor first. Yeah I’m still yelling at the TV that she is a terrible human being.And as much initially that I thought the defense attorney was a. FLAKE, imo she did a good job with her direct examination of her client. I got to know Jennifer’s story and why she did what her and the husband did. Have not watched his trial yet. In the future, I will wait for all the facts before I make a judgement on a trial, or in my personal life RIP Hannah, Justin, Madisyn and Tate.😢🌈
I love this prosecution team. So sharp. I had no idea attorney Karen McDonald used to be a judge. I was also shocked to see she's 53. She looks like she's in her 30s! Beautiful and smart.
I absolutely agree with you. The parents could have been the best parents amd this could have happened. And then you see how these parents failed him by not seeing the warning signs@shindles
@@shindles manipulation or not, if either one of the parents took the bare minimum time to be a parent none of this would have happened. The mother is trying to manipulate as well now, saying she was a "helicopter parent" yet didn't even bother as to go as far as to check his journal where all the confessions were written. She was too busy caught up in her own life to give a single fuck about what was really going on with her son and she happily accepted whatever excuse (if any) he gave to her. Now Mom is trying to play the blame game and is pointing all her fingers at the school and Daddy when any REAL "helicopter parent" wouldn't have wanted a gun in the house in the first place, but what does this lady do? She BRAGS on social media about her Disturbed Son's Xmas Present. If they're truly was any manipulation on the Son's part then anyone with a Brain can see by watching this trial that it was learned by this so called Mother. Lock her up and throw away the key! Otherwise she'll just try to run again then claim it's because she was "Scared", haha. Edit: words misheard by Voice to Text.
@@lydibug51 SERIOUSLY! If they would have just done the bare minimum none of this would have happened. Now you have people dead for no reason and the so-called parents blaming one another. So Gross. Fingers crossed that they find her Guilty!
@luigi57968 I respectfully disagree with you. The prosecution is bringing in things that aren't relevant to the case. Are you a parent? Now I'm not condoning her having an affair. But I am a parent. When my son was 15, it was the most confusing time in my life because he changed right before my eyes. He went through puberty and didn't want anything to do with me. He didn't have a ton of friends. He was about to start his own band. I wasn't doing well myself at that time. I was struggling with alcohol abuse, and my daughter was in college. I was living with my boyfriend, whom both my children didn't like. I checked out a lot, but when I wasn't drinking, I was always talking to him about drugs. He wrote a song about me about how upset he was with me because he couldn't tell me himself. He always said he was okay even if I felt he wasn't. Ever wonder why girls haven't shot up any kids in their school? And especially those ages where bullies were relentless. Also, she wasn't happy about buying the gun. He asked for it. He wrote in his journal what he was going to do. She never saw the journal because he hid it from both of them. I grew up with so much trauma from my mentally ill mom and hated her and had thoughts of hurting her at that age. I also had journals that they never found. They both went to the school to address the teacher concerns about their son and was told it was fine to keep him in school but try to get him some therapy. She wrote to many of her friends that she was getting worried about him. It all happened so quickly. He wasn't showing signs of mental illness until it was too late. She explained on the stand that her hobby was her horses. There is nothing wrong with that. She brought him a few times, and then he stopped. No boy at 15 wants to hang out with his parents. I understand why everyone wants to blame her, but I see it differently. We blame it because we don't want to accept that a kid could be this evil to do something like this. He wrote it in his journal that he was going to kill people and spend the rest of his life in prison. He planned it out. The parents didn't say, "Hey, wanna get a gun..no he asked for it for Christmas. She kept it locked up and intended on him using it at the firing range. Everyone thinks she is emotionless but I see her answering every question the state asks. She isn't getting defensive. She is taking accountability that she didn't really see that much of a change in him because it happened so suddenly. The picture he drew was days before he killer those people. What could she have done? They were both working. The father was doing doordash.. I'm sure they were strapped for money. Things like this weigh alot on parents. I believe they were doing the best they could. They gave him whatever he wanted. He was pretty spoiled. So he was a spoiled kid who was not well and showing little signs of depression. If they both were drug addicts and the home was filthy, I would be more inclined to condemn her. Again my son at that age changed so quickly and yes he grew out of it. What about the parents that do everything for their kids and they get murdered by their own child? I just saw a case on that. He didn't like being told no. This kid didn't like being told no either. He alone did this. He premeditated it. He never said I need help. She asked him if he was okay because he seemed a little depressed and he said he was fine. He didn't want help because he didn't know how mentally ill he was, and it's not always noticeable to the parents until it's too late.
I was so impressed by Judge Newman, and the entire process, in the Alex Murdaugh trail. This is the opposite. The judge is really ineffectual. I hope Judge Newman is more the rule than the exception.
Not likely that her main squeeze Brian will be waiting for her when she finally gets out of prison. She is pathologically selfish. Any child of hers would have struggled.
Yup mom I had to rewind u did say u took he’s gun away it in the recording all u have done is lie u never cared for this kid and also everyone stated u mentioned ur son but horses u spend so much money on ur horses but not for ur son health
Gross negligence Expecting a child to live in filth (didn't happen overnight) Ignoring medical needs Leaving a gun with ammo unlocked All gross negligence
I think the prosecution did a good job in presenting tgeir case, defense not so much. Her closing arguments were to get the jury to “feel” that this could happen to them. Its sad all the way around. Just terrible💔
I can’t imagine how hard it would be to have your only close friend move away and then your own parents abandon you. On top of him not having many close friends, he didn’t have enough commitments/hobbies to distract himself from the loneliness. Any good parent would help support their child and assure that they are mentally healthy. For people feeling left out or in some type of distress , becoming a mass shooter appears to be a good way to do something notable. Ethan made it clear that he was nervous about his future. I imagine that he felt uncared for + that he wasn’t a priority to anyone. So, he gave up. He was truly struggling and his parent’s response was to buy him a handgun, instead of comforting him and giving him proper access to mental health professionals. Watch and learn from Jennifer’s mistakes. Please don’t have kids if you aren’t going to be involved in their lives 🙏.
@@shindles yes, but I’m saying the parents should have been more attentive beforehand. There’s always a reason why people become killers. Ethan is not the criminal mastermind or vicious psycho the media wants you to believe he is.
Uh did you not see and read the texts and msgs Ethan was sending to that "friend"? That friend clearly is as sick as Ethan is. Because no normal kid would ever receive msgs from a friend like what Ethan was sending him, and not inform an adult that their "friend" needed psychiatric help. He sent the video of him torturing and horrifically, painfully killing those poor baby birds. He talked endlessly to his friend about how much he enjoyed hurting those baby birds and hearing them scream in pain. He told that friend he had plans to kidnap, R 8pe and murder a fellow student at school who lived nearby. His "friend" informed nobody! And apparently was in to the very same sick things as Ethan. Go back and read what he sent this friend. You will be sickened and horrified. Anybody who got those kinds of msgs from their friend and actually did nothing about it, is as evil and twisted and psychotic as Ethan. The "friend" was sent away to a facility by his Parents because he was a mental case too!
@@Invis3milOmg, yes he is!!!! Read his manifesto and texts to his "friend". Read what he did to those poor little baby birds! He filmed that!!!! He loved hurting those birds. You need to wake up! Ethan Crumbley is a derranged psychopath
For all you idiots Ethan was on his fathers insurance until his father lost his job in October. Jennifer was waiting for open enrollment with her job that started November 30 to add him to her insurance plan so get the fax before you start running your fucking mouth.
Omg adult friend finder ? That contains the lowest of the low. I looked on there about 15 years ago at the urging of a boyfriend. I left after I saw bdsm, wife swap, 3 somes. It is basically an x rated site for very alternative lifestyles. The fact she was on there procuring entertainment for her lover and herself while Ethan was having psychosis is unforgivable. If I had a child I would NEVER frequent or meet anyone off that site. They are lucky they weren't murdered. So it was a Very bad decision to take the stand. Full sentence please.
She’s actually a disgusting lady. Sorry I know it’s irrelevant to the case, but my opinion is she is disgusting! Glad she was found Guilty for negligence…her son was definitely not her priority! She is paying for her poor choices… good !!
If this lady had known her son at all she would have known she had much bigger problems than grades. Her son was a serial killer in the making. The evil from that kid sends shivers down my spine. He has no conscious.
This woman is despicable. I hope she gets the maximum sentence allowed by law. I hope the other prisoners treat her with the disrespect she deserves. I raised 3 children and I cannot fathom how she ignored and failed her child so miserably. 💔
14:44 This is sickening. I was against a parent being responsible for their almost grown child’s actions but now, truthfully my heart aches for her son. What a TERRIBLE mother she was, made worse by her delusions that she was a wonderful one! She micromanaged this poor kid and in constant communication with the school about his grades, checking his what was it, “Power?” System (my kids school system it’s called JPAMS) like it makes a fucking difference until their grades are ACTUALLY submitted for the semester….. But laughs at her son, (who she “hovers” over and worries about “hyper vigilantly”) when he clearly conveys to her OVER AND OVER that he needs help, that something isn’t RIGHT. She can’t even be fucking bothered when she’s with her boyfriend!!!! This kid was ALONE and maladjusted. Cried out for help repeatedly and ignored, invalidated and ridiculed…..yes, he pulled the trigger 4 times and killed 4 innocent people, but in SO. MANY. DEVASTATING. WAYS. 100% absolutely these parents, atleast her should be the ones with 4 murder charges and he should receive an involuntary charge. These parents murdered HIM first.
This woman is pathetic when she first got to jail she was more concerned about calorie content in a bologna sandwich after all that tragedy she was worried about a sandwich unreal
I just can't get over how much it seemed she just didn't care about anything. As if she thought this was nothing, and showed no emotions or remorse fot anything. I bet it felt pretty serious when she was found guilty on all 4 counts, which carries 15 years for each count. Even when the verdicts were read she showed nothing.
She’s her worst enemy. She lacks remorse, takes no accountability, and comes across as she if she could care less about the victims.
Completely agree and I ll add arrogant, entitled and stupid
You would be surprised how many other women defend her actions and believed she wouldn't be found guilty. Also saying Shannon was effective as counsel.

Parents who purchase weapons but don't secure them, wake up. This trial and outcome will be used to prosecute future parents. Gun purchases are a serious decision with serious consequences, the same as allowing a minor to drive before 16.
The gun safe never had a combination it was at the default 000. This is same as putting gun on coffee table.
@Kindisbetter Thank you. That is the whole point. This tragedy was 💯 preventable had the parents simply obeyed the laws governing handguns.
Securing that gun could have prevented the whole Oxford High School shooting
Or purchasing alcohol for a minor
So if anyone you know commits a crime you go to jail as well what a brilliant legal precedent

She played with fire, cut things with knives, broke anything glass, spoke of demons, stole from everyone along with many other things. I was a single mom of 2 children almost lost my job on several occasions, lost child care, and went to several school meetings due to her behavior. I had her committed into a behavior treatment center multiple times, went to several therapist until we from someone that could challenge her and that she liked, and she was on many different medications. She was removed from my home at age of 15 and was sent to a more controlled treatment center where she caught felony charges from attacking another patient. My point is that I did everything possible to help my child and even though a lot of it didn’t work, I still tried. These parents ignored their son and knowing he was depressed they decide it’s a good idea to buy him a gun!!!! This is why they should be held accountable!!! THEY NEVER TRIED AND COMPLETELY IGNORED HIM!!!! At the same time, the school should be held accountable also!!!!
You are an example of a great parent!!! I’m sorry you went through all that but you parented when these two just couldn’t bother!! Too busy and reckless with their child, sending him out into their community with a deadly weapon-so so dangerous…I hope they are held accountable!
Hats off to you as a single mother you did what most be able to cope with. I can't believe how awful these parents are they really think they did nothing wrong. 😢
You did everything you could sister.. you tried to help at every turn. You even admitted that you were willing to try whatever it took to get your kid some help.. you tried. God bless
You want easy access to guns then don't give crocodile tears when your
children are murdered by them. America is one big asylum full of insane

You went through so much. I hope things are better for your family these days.
Hats off to the prosecutors during this clown show. They are the only professionals in the room. The defense attorney behaves like an entitled 12 year old and the judge behaves like her overindulgent mother. What a farce. Smh

I know. "Ooh, exciting" "We might blush" as the prosecutor is allowed to use further questions of a sexual nature/them is ridiculous from the defense. I have never seen such activity before. The judge shakes her head as defense says, 'we might blush' but refuses to sanction her. WTF! That is crazy.

Totally inappropriate to say that after the reality of what her son did and the lives lost. The utter destruction of the victims families lives and her sons future is over - , her dismissal of all the signs she missed and she says she would change nothing. 😮😢

That’s the defense. She can’t say she’d change something bc it’s admitting a certain culpability

Women lost that right &
choice after the dobbs decision.
It's Hillary Clinton's battle cry of "it takes a village " that women decided that it's OK to drop off your baby as early as 6 weeks to the government and sitters to mold into adulthood.
This woman must have been a nightmare to deal with in any type of dispute or disagreement. Watch her eyes at the distain she feels at being questioned for Any of her actions.
This woman is so self centered. Totally unaware or caring about her son. So sad.

That kid has a Brother. Who used to live with them. He had to leave. He said Jennifer Crumbley is an absolute lunatic monster. He knew long ago Ethan was severely mentally ill. The signs were there long long ago. He couldn't live with then. Because they are all basket cases. Ethan is just like his Mother. That's where his mental problems came from.
@@Liberty6010and9they had another son? Really? I was baffled when she said Ethan was an oops baby cos I figured there must be another kid but since he was not even mentioned, it led me to assume she only had Ethan
@@suzymoroka297 Ethan's Dad has other kids with his previous Wife. They are only his, not Jennifer's. She only had Ethan. But Ethan's Dad's Son stayed with them a few years ago for awhile. He wanted a everyday relationship with his Dad. And he had to end up leaving and going back with his Mom in a different State. He literally said Jennifer was a monster and ruled over everybody hand and fist. Including his Dad and Ethan. He also said it was clear Ethan was not right mentally. But Jennifer would not even discuss the matter. It's clear to see why. Because she didn't want to deal with the fact he got his mental issues from her. She has mental issues herself. And always did, since she was a kid. He said Jennifer was a narcissist and a monster.
@@Liberty6010and9 thanks for giving me context. She’s so detached and distant from anything to do with her son. When she said that with hindsight she wouldn’t do anything differently I was floored
The defense atty blurting out "this is getting exciting" when Jennifer was testifying to chats on adultfriend app while also having an affair sheds a little light as to why she "loves" defending hardened sex offenders...her word, not mine. Sounds like Shannon Smith enjoys the excitement of hearing how trashy Jennifer was. Shannon, no doubt is also trashy. Uncouth, unprofessional, contemptuous of court decorum, lashing out like a petulant child, even lying in her closing statements. In fact, in her closing her focus was more about defending herself, as if she were on trial. Not a good look or defense for her client.
She's so effing horrid!
Yucks
sick. I had just looked up the name of the website. Ugh.
I couldn’t believe when Crumbley’s attorney said that- was she being sarcastic- implying that the prosecutor wanted to get into this trashy stuff, or is she just trashy? I’m not sure!!
Being that the defense attorney is not good at her job will be a reason for appeal.
Never have I seen a judge explain questions to someone on the stand. Children, yes, but never an adult.
Shannon smiths idiotic "objection" during closing proves her ineptitude not only as an adult but as an attorney. She has no control of her Self, her mouth.
I feel the judge is bias towards the defence no judge in their right mind wld have put up with Shannon's bs unless that was the case.
Not the brightest crayon in the BOX
I have!
But like, that's the entire point of explaining your legal rights & counsel; to understand the question being asked to make sure you answer it correctly.
She aged 20 years in 2 years of prison.
Prison isn’t conducive to mental and physical well being. As narcissistic and self centered as she appears to be, I imagine she’s quite distressed. She can’t fraternize or carry on her selfish endeavors.

Ove never heard attorneys ever making sidemarks like they are kids. Wow. But the prosecutor pretty much shut her the F up. "This isn't a laughing matter" then the look on def face 😂
A lot of adults let this 15 year old boy down….leading to the death of four other kids. The parents and school administrators should also be on trial. The only adult that followed the guidelines was the teacher that reported him to the appropriate school authorities. It’s a shame the school is not liable!
the school isn't liable for atrocious parenting.
I blame the school more than I do her
The school is definitely culpable
The are responsible to keep the other kids safe. They also should have sent him home and checked his backpack! @@clitsing6034
If the school isn't going to be held accountable, Jennifer shouldn't be either. This is officially a witch hunt. Especially sense learning what the defense presented during her examination of Jennifer. She spent more time vacationing with her son and his friend than most parents can afford to financially do. She literally took the school shooter on vacations and outings almost every month. The school shooter wanted to murder people. End of the story.
If defense has a concern why doesn’t she object to the question and let the judge determine whether it is valid or misleading or whatever?
Yes cause she’s objected to everything else.
Yeh. Very annoying that this so-called judge doesn't have control over the court. The attorney testifying rather than examining the witness, and failure by defense to employ accepted legal objections is upsetting.
In this courtroom the judge just lets them give long-winded objections. I don't think they even say objection, they just stand up and talk and talk and talk over one another.
Every time I hear the defense attorney speak I want to scream!!!
@@vjc1902And all right in front of the jury!!

What's blowing my mind is all the talking head lawyers saying *she's a good lawyer*
Like, are we watching the same person
She said she loves to watch her favorite show with her Daughter. Her favorite show being the Kardashians for heaven's sake! 🙄 That told me everything about her. I would no more expose 1 of my children to the Kardashian trash family than a man on the moon. So gross.
It’s an embarrassment
So many people let her child down. Regardless of how the mom actually feels about her parenting, she seems clueless and unlikable during her testimony. I cant believe the jury is finding her sympathetic
Who says jury finds her sympathetic
I couldn't even imagine that
I haven’t seen it anywhere either but maybe because she’s “talking” to the jury like Amber Heard did 🤷🏼♀️
Jury found her guilty pretty fast
At least she's not saying, "I don't recall" to every question. I hate it when they do that.
Her exact words “We took the shooting range away and we took the gun away” Busted!!! Prosecution caught you slip.
Then said a second later “I didn’t say I took the gun away “

@@cocoa-nuts2670 I find him to be a very arrogant prick
The Crumbley's have been charged because we keep having school shootings, and the guns these young men are using come as gifts from their parents or are household weapons. Something needs to change! Holding parents of minors accountable is at least a start. But we need more changes at the school level, the school should have made sure they took him home and could not come back until he saw a mental health professional.
Or maybe better gun control
Talk to the NRA. The NRA blocks absolutely EVERY reasonable regulation introduced. You cannot blame schools when the NRA is kneecapping our entire country.
@@beans2744taking guns away won’t solve the “killing problem”…. Guns are inanimate objects. I saw in the news, the UK is trying to make knives illegal now. Mental health is where the solution lies. Proper parenting by morally sound and caring people is where the solution lies. It’s not as sexy- but it’s reality.
Gun control! Human are feelings centric and infallible. We cannot trust schools and parents to do the right thing!
My proposal Oxford law. When anyone buys or registers a gun they must declare if they have children in school or college. The said colleges and schools are notified and flags placed on child's personal file and it follows child as they move. Parents should be advised if gun is used in school shooting they will be implicated. Find out how fast and thorough they are locked up then.
The defense saying this is exciting and making her blush are not a good look for the defense

This women is clueless. Parents that ignore children’s mental illness and then have the nerve to purchase a gun for them should be out in jail. I love how she was caught lying as well. She’s a major narcissist. Kid was doomed with these parents. I hope they are found guilty.
Wow is all I can say to the mother and you
If the kid had a mental illness, why was he prosecuted and sentence as a normal person ? Mentally ill people do not stand trials!!! They go to mental institutions not jails!How can you find the kid not mentally sick but claim that the parents were negligent but not providing help for his mental sickness ???
Are you kidding. It’s almost impossible to get off pleading insanity. Dalmer, Charles Manson, Vallow. The list is endless are all in jail. A very large population of the prison are insane people.
She is guilty of a crime because she took him to the shooting range with his brand new gun 2 days before the shooting, and she knew he had issues with depression, and recent triggers to make the depression worse, and she saw the drawing what's a gun that looks exactly like the one that she saw two days earlier him shooting with, why didn't she check his backpack to see if there was a gun in it or take him home to show her the gun. She is completely negligent

This defense attorney has no business representing anyone. This judge lost all control and respect. This man, the prosecutor was excellent and professional. Kudos to him!
I'm three minutes in and I can already say that that defense attorney needs to be disbarred. No respectable attorney would have had this woman testify.
a lawyer should be disbarred for following the law? i’m confused. and your replacement idea is for them to do something illegal (not allow their client their own LEGAL right AND choice to testify)? is your continuing idea that lawyers that break the law should/would still practice law?

The defense is asleep, the judge is so bored, the prosecution is ripping it up and saddest thing is if you listen to the details it paints a really sad picture all round so preventable
Shes a prime example of just because you can have a child doesnt mean you should. Some peoppe should never be a parent.
Never a mother just so caught up in her self
I hope he got around to asking her if she gave her drugs to her son!
Omg, he actually asked her for help and she LAUGHED at him!!!!! If I was on that jury that would be all I would need to hear to convict her. That is absolutely despicable. That poor kid was struggling and he didn’t stand a chance with those parents, if that’s what you even call them!
I’m a helicopter mom but I don’t answer my son’s calls or texts and I don’t know why he was absent from school……lady GTFOH!
You bought a minor child with questionable behavior a gun and we know this because you stated “We took the gun away” You may have not pulled the trigger Mrs Crumbly but you are just as guilty. I seen one of Ethan journal pages where he wrote: kill pretty girl with future so she can suffer like me… something all the lines like that. This shows your sons way of thinking he believes because his life sucks those children should pay. Can you please explain why your child thinks this way? We already know by cross examination he got his way even when he was punished because the two tangible things you took away he had in his possession, the phone and the gun he used the next day.
…and all the deadly ammunition he told you to buy…
I first listened to the media reports then I watched the shooter’s trial. I had already made up my mind that the parents had cruelly abandoned their child, that they were selfish and horrible. Horrible! Then.. I watched cross of Jennifer by prosecutor first. Yeah I’m still yelling at the TV that she is a terrible human being.And as much initially that I thought the defense attorney was a. FLAKE, imo she did a good job with her direct examination of her client. I got to know Jennifer’s story and why she did what her and the husband did. Have not watched his trial yet. In the future, I will wait for all the facts before I make a judgement on a trial, or in my personal life

@@shindles manipulation or not, if either one of the parents took the bare minimum time to be a parent none of this would have happened. The mother is trying to manipulate as well now, saying she was a "helicopter parent" yet didn't even bother as to go as far as to check his journal where all the confessions were written. She was too busy caught up in her own life to give a single fuck about what was really going on with her son and she happily accepted whatever excuse (if any) he gave to her. Now Mom is trying to play the blame game and is pointing all her fingers at the school and Daddy when any REAL "helicopter parent" wouldn't have wanted a gun in the house in the first place, but what does this lady do? She BRAGS on social media about her Disturbed Son's Xmas Present. If they're truly was any manipulation on the Son's part then anyone with a Brain can see by watching this trial that it was learned by this so called Mother. Lock her up and throw away the key!

@@lydibug51 SERIOUSLY! If they would have just done the bare minimum none of this would have happened. Now you have people dead for no reason and the so-called parents blaming one another. So Gross. Fingers crossed that they find her Guilty!
@luigi57968 I respectfully disagree with you. The prosecution is bringing in things that aren't relevant to the case. Are you a parent? Now I'm not condoning her having an affair. But I am a parent. When my son was 15, it was the most confusing time in my life because he changed right before my eyes. He went through puberty and didn't want anything to do with me. He didn't have a ton of friends. He was about to start his own band. I wasn't doing well myself at that time. I was struggling with alcohol abuse, and my daughter was in college. I was living with my boyfriend, whom both my children didn't like. I checked out a lot, but when I wasn't drinking, I was always talking to him about drugs. He wrote a song about me about how upset he was with me because he couldn't tell me himself. He always said he was okay even if I felt he wasn't. Ever wonder why girls haven't shot up any kids in their school? And especially those ages where bullies were relentless.
Also, she wasn't happy about buying the gun. He asked for it. He wrote in his journal what he was going to do. She never saw the journal because he hid it from both of them. I grew up with so much trauma from my mentally ill mom and hated her and had thoughts of hurting her at that age. I also had journals that they never found.
They both went to the school to address the teacher concerns about their son and was told it was fine to keep him in school but try to get him some therapy.
She wrote to many of her friends that she was getting worried about him. It all happened so quickly. He wasn't showing signs of mental illness until it was too late.
She explained on the stand that her hobby was her horses. There is nothing wrong with that. She brought him a few times, and then he stopped. No boy at 15 wants to hang out with his parents.
I understand why everyone wants to blame her, but I see it differently. We blame it because we don't want to accept that a kid could be this evil to do something like this. He wrote it in his journal that he was going to kill people and spend the rest of his life in prison. He planned it out. The parents didn't say, "Hey, wanna get a gun..no he asked for it for Christmas. She kept it locked up and intended on him using it at the firing range.
Everyone thinks she is emotionless but I see her answering every question the state asks. She isn't getting defensive. She is taking accountability that she didn't really see that much of a change in him because it happened so suddenly. The picture he drew was days before he killer those people. What could she have done? They were both working. The father was doing doordash.. I'm sure they were strapped for money. Things like this weigh alot on parents. I believe they were doing the best they could.
They gave him whatever he wanted. He was pretty spoiled. So he was a spoiled kid who was not well and showing little signs of depression. If they both were drug addicts and the home was filthy, I would be more inclined to condemn her.
Again my son at that age changed so quickly and yes he grew out of it.
What about the parents that do everything for their kids and they get murdered by their own child? I just saw a case on that. He didn't like being told no.
This kid didn't like being told no either.
He alone did this. He premeditated it. He never said I need help. She asked him if he was okay because he seemed a little depressed and he said he was fine.
He didn't want help because he didn't know how mentally ill he was, and it's not always noticeable to the parents until it's too late.
Maybe all those "responsible" gun owners will actually be responsible. Especially if they think it might affect THEIR lives.
Def didn’t care about her son’s warning signs…’help me’!
I was so impressed by Judge Newman, and the entire process, in the Alex Murdaugh trail. This is the opposite. The judge is really ineffectual. I hope Judge Newman is more the rule than the exception.
How can you ignore a child’s pleas for help but you have time to
Have a whole affair ? This is so sad !
Not likely that her main squeeze Brian will be waiting for her when she finally gets out of prison. She is pathologically selfish. Any child of hers would have struggled.
Plus she has let herself go lmfao

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
I can’t imagine how hard it would be to have your only close friend move away and then your own parents abandon you.
On top of him not having many close friends, he didn’t have enough commitments/hobbies to distract himself from the loneliness. Any good parent would help support their child and assure that they are mentally healthy.
For people feeling left out or in some type of distress , becoming a mass shooter appears to be a good way to do something notable. Ethan made it clear that he was nervous about his future. I imagine that he felt uncared for + that he wasn’t a priority to anyone. So, he gave up.
He was truly struggling and his parent’s response was to buy him a handgun, instead of comforting him and giving him proper access to mental health professionals.
Watch and learn from Jennifer’s mistakes. Please don’t have kids if you aren’t going to be involved in their lives 🙏.
Agree 100%. Teenagers need parents' time and attention as much as younger children do.
@@shindles yes, but I’m saying the parents should have been more attentive beforehand. There’s always a reason why people become killers. Ethan is not the criminal mastermind or vicious psycho the media wants you to believe he is.
Uh did you not see and read the texts and msgs Ethan was sending to that "friend"? That friend clearly is as sick as Ethan is. Because no normal kid would ever receive msgs from a friend like what Ethan was sending him, and not inform an adult that their "friend" needed psychiatric help. He sent the video of him torturing and horrifically, painfully killing those poor baby birds. He talked endlessly to his friend about how much he enjoyed hurting those baby birds and hearing them scream in pain. He told that friend he had plans to kidnap, R 8pe and murder a fellow student at school who lived nearby. His "friend" informed nobody! And apparently was in to the very same sick things as Ethan. Go back and read what he sent this friend. You will be sickened and horrified. Anybody who got those kinds of msgs from their friend and actually did nothing about it, is as evil and twisted and psychotic as Ethan. The "friend" was sent away to a facility by his Parents because he was a mental case too!

Were you a bad mom? Correct.
Omg adult friend finder ? That contains the lowest of the low. I looked on there about 15 years ago at the urging of a boyfriend. I left after I saw bdsm, wife swap, 3 somes. It is basically an x rated site for very alternative lifestyles. The fact she was on there procuring entertainment for her lover and herself while Ethan was having psychosis is unforgivable. If I had a child I would NEVER frequent or meet anyone off that site. They are lucky they weren't murdered. So it was a Very bad decision to take the stand. Full sentence please.
Exactly.
Jennifer crumbley isn't going to win parent of the year!
She’s actually a disgusting lady. Sorry I know it’s irrelevant to the case, but my opinion is she is disgusting! Glad she was found Guilty for negligence…her son was definitely not her priority! She is paying for her poor choices… good !!
The Prosecutor destroyed her . She has a bit of attitude. All of her free time was spent pursuing her extra-marital affairs
And her horses awful woman seems like a narcissist to me
If this lady had known her son at all she would have known she had much bigger problems than grades. Her son was a serial killer in the making. The evil from that kid sends shivers down my spine. He has no conscious.
it's quite clear she has next to no interest in being a mother. she put herself, her partners and a couple horses before her only son.
No shooters parents ever think they would do this.
This woman is despicable. I hope she gets the maximum sentence allowed by law. I hope the other prisoners treat her with the disrespect she deserves. I raised 3 children and I cannot fathom how she ignored and failed her child so miserably. 💔
Counsel’s body language is SHOCKING! She looks nervous and completely unsure of herself.
Those poor children who lost their lives.
14:44 This is sickening. I was against a parent being responsible for their almost grown child’s actions but now, truthfully my heart aches for her son. What a TERRIBLE mother she was, made worse by her delusions that she was a wonderful one! She micromanaged this poor kid and in constant communication with the school about his grades, checking his what was it, “Power?” System (my kids school system it’s called JPAMS) like it makes a fucking difference until their grades are ACTUALLY submitted for the semester…..
But laughs at her son, (who she “hovers” over and worries about “hyper vigilantly”) when he clearly conveys to her OVER AND OVER that he needs help, that something isn’t RIGHT. She can’t even be fucking bothered when she’s with her boyfriend!!!!
This kid was ALONE and maladjusted. Cried out for help repeatedly and ignored, invalidated and ridiculed…..yes, he pulled the trigger 4 times and killed 4 innocent people, but in SO. MANY. DEVASTATING. WAYS. 100% absolutely these parents, atleast her should be the ones with 4 murder charges and he should receive an involuntary charge. These parents murdered HIM first.
This woman is pathetic when she first got to jail she was more concerned about calorie content in a bologna sandwich after all that tragedy she was worried about a sandwich unreal
Im confused! Is she in the video that they shared earlier in this court process and she was a thin blonde???
The only person in that court room with half a brain is the prosecutor
She doesn't care about her son. Its plain to see. She rather go have an affair. Her son literally told her to call him. She should of got him help.
The defense attorney acting like a 2 yr old, Does she want her client to loose?
jim needs to come get pam.... cause being a defense attorney is not for her.
I also thought she looks like Pam! You’re the first comment I’ve seen to say so.
from the side and the accent its all i can see LOL@@esquireaudits4737
Who's xPam? I'm sitting here trying to figure out who ya mean. Lol
Hahahahaha I wrote basically this comment on a different video !! Lmaooooo!! She is notttt a good defense attorney 😂
@@jamiehoover9348 Pam from The Office lol
Trying to blame he’s dad it ridiculous
She did say they took his gun away and immediately lied!
I just can't get over how much it seemed she just didn't care about anything. As if she thought this was nothing, and showed no emotions or remorse fot anything. I bet it felt pretty serious when she was found guilty on all 4 counts, which carries 15 years for each count. Even when the verdicts were read she showed nothing.
Frankly the prosecutor went WAY easy on her. I wonder if he really believes in this case.
I agree. I think they could have easily dispelled the notion she was an attentive helicopter mom.
Obviously she’s not aware of what a hypervigilant parent is?…. Why can’t she answer the questions with a yes or no?!
