Heartbreak in Oxford, Mich.

Via CNN: The parents of Ethan Crumbley are now being arraigned after they did not turn themselves in Friday. A manhunt ended in their arrests early this morning.

Digby covered the profile of the parents of Ethan Crumbley on Friday but, holy shit, check out this Zoom hearing. (It may be over before this posts.)

CNN:

James and Jennifer Crumbley, the parents of Oxford High School shooting suspect Ethan Crumbley, were found on the first floor of an industrial or commercial building after someone tipped police Friday night that their vehicle was nearby, police officials said.

“They appeared to be hiding in the building,” some 40 miles south of the Oxford area where they live, Detroit Police Chief James White said during a news conference early Saturday. They were “very distressed” after they were detained, the chief said.

Defense attorneys claim the parents were not really fleeing the area:

The attorneys maintain their clients’ innocence.

“They are absolutely taking this case seriously. They are devastated by the events in the Oxford incident. This is not something that’s being taken lightly by them or us,” Lehman said during the arraignment.

“Mr. Crumbley, as with Mrs. Crumbley, is not a flight risk, he is not a danger to the community. There’s no risk that they’re going to flee prosecution. They were never fleeing prosecution,” she added.

Somebody’s not telling the truth. The Crumbleys now claim the gun their kid used was locked away.

One wants to know at this point, were James and Jennifer Crumbley in D.C. on Jan. 6th?
