Jennifer Crumbley, the convicted mother of the Oxford High School mass shooter, filed her official appeal on Friday, Aug. 22, alleging she was unlawfully targeted by a “cheating” prosecutor who, she maintains, abused the law in convincing a jury to wrongfully convict her for the deaths of four students murdered by her son.
And a judge let the prosecutor get away with it, Crumbley’s appellate lawyer argues in a 100-page filing with the Michigan Court of Appeals, which nearly four years after the tragedy is faced with a daunting task: Should it uphold the mother’s historic involuntary manslaughter conviction, or throw it out?
