Judge urged to keep shooter’s plea,
sentence in place
DETROIT (AP) — Prosecutors are asking a judge to reject a school shooter’s request to withdraw his guilty plea in the deaths of four students in 2021.
Ethan Crumbley, 18, is serving a life sentence for the Oxford High School shooting. But his new appellate lawyers want to start over, arguing that he had poor mental health when he waived his right to trial and pleaded guilty to multiple charges at age 16.
The Oakland County prosecutor’s office says Crumbley falls far short of the Michigan legal threshold to withdraw a guilty plea.
Prosecutors noted that Crumbley signed a document acknowledging that he had discussed the guilty plea with his lawyers and that any questions were answered.
It is not known when Oakland County Judge Kwame Rowe will hand down a ruling.
