⁠​⁠@@sharonrynne2242I think they should’ve received charges of felony child neglect & receive close to the max on that instead. They’re really getting severely punished as we speak, the two wont ever escape it even when they receive their freedom one day, their child is lost sentenced to life, community anger will always be strongly against them… a very long sentence wouldn’t serve anyone. I’m along the lines of 5 yrs for each including time served. Their potential sentence ranges very wide however & know one seems to know what it’ll be if found guilty

Watch other trials, she rocks as a defense attorney. You are going up against the state, which has endless funds and capabilities. With that said, her client completely lost me when she wouldn’t do anything differently and she is “not trying to compare herself to the loss of what others have faced”, A loss because of HER son, because as she stated, and ended her direct, she herself has lost everything. Seriously? That right there, lost me and exposed her as a narcissistic “mother” who cares only about herself and her side piece and horses.

Yeah I agree, I'm not sure anymore about her attorney and if she's doing her any favors by sticking with her representation... I had much more confidence in her when she was working together with the other one who is now James' attorney,.., She seemed almost like a different person before they went their separate ways or maybe just before this trial began... She seemed more confident and organized, more intelligent, professional and way less confused. I don't blame he necessarily and no one should because I'm sure what she's doing has to be far more difficult than it looks. Though she might not be doing herself she favors choosing to stick with the lawyer she has, I also can't blame her because even if she might know that in the back of her mind wonder if she is paying it works out by trusting the process..I also think it might be a comfortability thing because she unexpectedly got arrested and has been locked up for years now and the only sense of releif, the outside world and interaction is probably this woman and whenever she calls and visits so she is probably feeling closer to her than anyone in this world and looks forward to anytime she comes around and wouldn't want to lose her mind by requesting another attorney i imagine if could and would affect everything OUTSIDE the courtroom and she would feel even more scared and alone, who knows how a different lawyer would act and what kinda proof they are, i wouldn't want to fish that either, she literally has nothing else because she's taken from everything she's had and that includes even contact with her in husband through any means of communication. Sad..

The school didn't even tell her about any psychological issues until the drawing right? And then they said they didn't think he was a threat and let him stay at school. Kids can hide a lot and be very sneaky when they want to. I pray nothing like this happens to anyone.

When I was a 14, I was suffering deeply with anorexia. I had been through a lot of trauma, my mom had died and I was going through it. I was getting no better so my step dad had me sectioned to an inpatient hospital. They said I was a danger to myself and if they didn’t admit me, I would die. This is what someone does when they care about their sick child. They make difficult decisions. Did she make her son pull the trigger? No, but there were so many missed opportunities to get him help. I cannot imagine the pain the victims families are feeling, my heart is broken for them.

Not one single time, did she say she sat down with him to talk about his feelings, or go for a walk to talk . Not one time did she say she spent hours at night trying to help him with his homework or that she hired a tutor for him. Not once did she say she kept in constant comunication with his teachers to make sure he was on track. Instead she said during her interview that she told him not to "worry about it", next year is a new year". All she cared about was him going to work, when he should have been doing homework. She did say he probably had too much to drink and had a hangover....He's 15 years old. There is no way in he.. I would go riding in the evenings, if my son was struggling at school. If I couldn't afford tutoring I would sell my horse. Instead she's getting drunk and going for a trail ride.... That's genius in itself.

Am sure there are “Tons” of parents in this world with varying degrees of what is considered proper parenthood. Don’t forget that parents are only human and have many of their own issues to deal with. Some are drug addicts, in fact, many are drug addicts, alcoholic, abusive etc and really, parents should have a special license to have children. Instead the government condones the proliferation of gun ownership with the expectation that guns won’t get into the hands of people with mental illness.

When I found out she was privately paid, I almost died. Apparently mom’s judgment is fundamentally flawed in more than one area. She most likely is resigned to the fact that her son will be in prison for life, and wrote him off already. Whereas concerning herself, she sees the possibility of them having some type of life left ahead of themselves. I can’t imagine the amount of guilt and shame that I would feel, and would be deserving of whatever punishment the people felt was justified. I understand that’s easier said than done, but when you look at the magnitude of what has happened, how could you not feel that way? This defense counsel is a private practice and she complains about what they do and don’t have, as if the state is just swimming in a pool of money. The defense attorney clearly is inexperienced, and it shows.

This may also be a case where if the jury comes back with a guilty finding, she rules a timed served or overrules the guilty verdict. It wouldn’t be the first time in a high profile case such as this. There’s been entire podcasts on this topic and case. Even with the trial being streamed many channels have multiple attys, judges, prosecutors, public defenders, & the majority believe this is a dangerous precedent with the potential of parents all over the USA being charged for even minor infractions, including over reaching & over charging, & wasting tax payers money when the parents can only do so much. Same with the schools being charged & held accountable, when the reality is that no family or child is perfect, nor is any parent & picking and choosing who is and who isn’t responsible for the actions of another, will lead to many lawsuits the public will be paying.

The real issue is when are people going to stop listening to media trash c and realize their world is being manipulated.

His dad called the counselor over and over and over and they never called him back. He had to go up there to get him switched to half online and half in person.

Oh yeah just a normal family of parents who blatantly ignore the cries of their hallucinating teenage son and instead buy him a gun, who also refuse to take him out of school HOURS before the shooting when he was exhibiting warning signs of wanting to harm others. Just your typical family right?

Your mother taught you well and it obviously rubbed off on you. It took courage for you to make your comment…and low and behold in todays world of cynics and “wanna be know it alls” it only took 15 minutes for “yet another expert” on all matters to chime in and sling a sarcastic piece of BS at you and your comment. Seems to me that person could have used a mother like yours when they were being raised. As parents we all face difficult times with our children…usually when they are teens. Thank god both of my daughters are now adults (with children of their own).

​@jrrd4069 learning the warning signs of the onset of mental illness for a teenager is not clear cut. I'm a youth mental health instructor who teaches the warning signs.

We can blame the school, the parents even the shooter all we want but the bottom line WE, SOCIETY must change FIRST before this stops happening. It is not the schools' job to raise our children. It does take a village. Finally, I will say that in EVERY single school shooting, bullying was an issue in the child's life. We need to really look at that. Why do these kids hate their school so much that they would go get a gun and start shooting people. Bullying is the motive. We don't like to talk about that because it places the cause back on us. We are a bullying society and use it to get ahead in life in an effort to rise above the next guy.

It’s not very common - even difficult relationships are common - but it’s permanent. I have an old friend who can’t stand her daughter and it’s so painful to be around them.

You should be asking the judge that question it’s the judge’s ruling that he should not be called by name and it is up to her to referee the trial and it is normal for a mother to call her child her son or by him and his name it’s not like we don’t know his name I think it’s pretty stupid that we should be calling him by name and call him whatever you want it doesn’t matter

I thought our justice system and the law was supposed to be objective, not subjective. I thought lady law was blindfolded so the law would be applied in an unbiased manner. I thought laws were to be written in a way that makes it clear whether they were violated or not. I thought this was purported to be a black or white issue with no grey areas. Everyone who said "not guilty" said the State didn't prove their case (with proof, or evidence). Everyone who said "guilty" started their responses with "I think she should've..." Nevermind that the law allowed them to not lock up the 🔫...."I think she should have locked the 🔫 where he couldn't get it." Nevermind that he seemed like a normal kid with no disciplinary issues, "I think she should've spent more time with him." Nevermind that the school didn't send him home & gave her 48 hours to find a therapist. "I think she should've taken him home immediately after seeing that drawing." So, now it's cool to apply the law based on what you think? Based on your opinion? Based on your feelings? Not based on what the law says & what proof of your guilt was presented in the hearing? WTF?!

Her husband lost his job and his insurance, and she had to wait until open enrollment to qualify for insurance at her job? She should have been able to get insurance when she lost her husbands.. At any rate, I'm wondering if because she didn't have insurance, her son was afraid to tell her about his symptoms. . Ethan told a friend he wanted to call 911 because he was hearing voices, he couldn't tell his mom...we all need to learn the warning signs of the onset of mental illness and we should all have free health insurance. My heart goes out to the victims and their families. Mrs. Crumbly was a friend of mine's neighbor years ago. My friend said they were nice people. So sad all the way around.

They knew. They didn’t get him the therapy he needed (either medical or behavioral). It wasn’t their priority. Maybe instead of buying that HORSE they could have paid out of pocket for mental health services.
