Jennifer Crumbley, the mother of the accused Oxford High School shooter, began her statement to the court by offering her condolences to the victims and their families. She expressed her deepest sorrows for the families of Hana, Tate, Madisyn, Justin, and all those affected by the tragic events of November 30, 2021.
During her trial in February, Crumbley had made a statement on the stand that was later deemed to be misunderstood. She had previously stated, 'I’ve asked myself if I would have done anything differently, and I wouldn’t have.'
However, in a recent court appearance, Crumbley clarified that she did not foresee the actions of her son and therefore would have answered the question differently with the benefit of hindsight and the information she has now. She emphasized that if she had known her son was capable of the crimes committed, her response would have been 'absolutely different.'
It is evident from her latest statement that Crumbley is grappling with the complexities of the situation and the profound impact it has had on all those involved. Her acknowledgment of the need for a different response in light of new information underscores the gravity of the circumstances surrounding the tragic incident.
