Michigan high school shooter Ethan Crumbley caught on prison bodycam 'exhibiting sporadic, disturbing behavior' one month before hearing to determine if he will spend life in jail for killing four of his classmates and wounding seven others
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Looking a little 'girly' there Ethan. How's the prison food?
  • He pleaded guilty to killing four of his classmates and wounding seven others in a shooting on November 30, 2021

  • Ethan Crumbley, 17, will find out if he will spend life in prison in a sentencing hearing scheduled for July 27

  • His recent alarming behavior was highlighted in a court document on Thursday and at a routine monthly hearing Friday in Oakland County court
The teenager, who was 15 at the time, opened fire at Oxford High School outside Detroit with a semi-automatic handgun that his father purchased for him as a Christmas gift days before the massacre.

Separately, his parents, James and Jennifer Crumbley, face involuntary manslaughter charges. They're accused of ignoring their son's mental health needs and making a gun accessible at home.
Wikipedia summarizes:
According to prosecutors, Crumbley's only friend moved away at the end of October 2021, and the family dog died, causing him to become depressed. As early as March 2021, he started sending his mother "disturbing texts about his state of mind", which included claims about "demons" and "ghosts" inside the home. He also reportedly videotaped himself torturing animals, made Molotov cocktails, and drew a sketch of himself committing a school shooting, which he also joked about with a friend via text message. At one point, Crumbley allegedly kept a baby bird's head in a jar, which he later placed in a school bathroom. His parents allegedly never sought therapy for him after any of those incidents.

#1 "15 at the time"

"The teenager was charged as an adult and first-degree murder carries a mandatory life sentence in Michigan."

Justice in this country is twisted beyond belief.
