Jennifer Crumbley trial: Prosecution's closing arguments

Since when a defense attorney is allowed to ask question during a closing argument? Blows my mind

Why why why buy a gun for a troubled young Man

If I was the prosecutor I would have ask her "If they where so scared that he was going to hurt himself why then give him a weapon???

She doesn't regret what she did and wouldn't act any differently? Wow!

This mother set her own son up to do this horrible thing. It’s like she wanted him to commit murder to get rid of him. She apparently did not love her son and neglected and emotionally abused him. This is why this horrible thing happened. Hoping for guilty verdict

Parents must be legally responsible for their children. Take into account those parents sought help and those who did not. When parents get imprisoned like their child, then others might take parenting seriously.

Throughout you never heard once Jennifer say how bad she felt about the kids that died or harmed!! But we heard how they were f@cked! Everything was about how she suffered! Sadly I think it’s difficult for Jennifer to look beyond her own needs.

Good closing from the prosecutor. Laying down the facts as they happened. A common sense argument backed by evidence defeating the standard of ordinary care. Well Done!

Just imagine…going to jail for being a bad mother…and it’s about damn time! People, please stop having babies if you can’t commit to them for life!

I can’t get past the fact that Jennifer Crombley was aware that her son had been exhibiting signs of depression. He even asked for help but she chose to ignore those cries and even though she didn’t purchase the gun, she took it upon herself to take him to the gun range, later bragging about it on social media. When she saw the disturbing pictures he drew on his math test she again ignored his obvious cries for help and didnt take him out of school for treatment. ANY responsible parent wouldn’t have acted in the ways she did. GUILTY - beyond a reasonable doubt.

If this is the defense tactics to win a case by interrupting the prosecution closing, in the hopes that the prosecutor fails and the jury gets out of focus, is very unprofessional of Shannon Smith.

Consider this, Jennifer Crumbly could have easily taken that gun and kept it somewhere else. She was the one who 'planned' and 'took control' so why didn't she get the gun and pawn it or keep it somewhere away from her son? Wouldn't that be the logical thing to do?

I'm a mom of 6, 5 living and all grown now. I labored, birthed, nursed them.....I can tell you this....any time my kids were having issues, they didn't have to tell me anything, I KNEW. I could tell by their body language, demeanor, attitude, tone in voice, everything.... even if they told me "I'm fine", I knew they weren't. I knew they were going through something. Being a parent is the hardest, most frustrating, most exhausting journey ever.....yet also the most joyful, fantastic, immeasurably exhilarating journey ever. Every child needs to be seen, needs your time, needs to know they are known, needs to feel safe, a parent needs to be their sanctuary! Ethan had no one, he didn't have his own mom be his #1 fan, be his champion, be his hero. Parents aren't perfect, we fail, but the key is we quicken in our failures , change course, turn the trajectory back in the right direction and show our children failure can be a stepping stone. These parents failed miserably. Instead of looking past their own nose and see what was happening to their son, see that their failures were effecting their son and change course. They buy him a gun. A tool for a troubled child to use to lash out. These parents neglect and failures cost 4 precious souls their lives. These parents are absolutely culpable in the crime.

Regardless of the outcome she will be the most hated Mother in America next to Casey Anthony.

The judge is extremely different, whispers when she talks, never seen one like her.

The constant tantrums, the whiny voice, needing her hand held, the constant interruptions, constantly being unprepared… and yes, the inappropriate brightly colored suits ( not appropriate in the slightest for this particular case)- I thought we were finally done with this incompetent defense attorney! She had to draw attention to herself yet AGAIN! You do not interrupt the prosecutors closing statements!!! JUDGE, TELL HER TO SHUT UP FOR ONCE! These two must be related, the Judge coddles her like a child!

These parents need to go to prison for a very long time.

Guns should be locked in a safe that kids do not have access to open. We raised our kids with hunting rifles, our boy learned to hunt with his Dad. He was allowed to carry his rifle and shoot it in the mountains while hunting with his Dad and his Dad’s friends. When they got home from hunting the guns were cleaned and put back in the gun safe. Every parent should follow these rules for gun safety. A weapon is not a toy. It is for hunting or personal protection. Not to be available to any child whenever the child wants it. A child should always be supervised by an adult while guns are out of the safe. If the parents bought the gun for him and allowed him to know the combination or key to the safe then they are complicit.

This idea of giving firearms to underage children needs to stop. Simple. This kid had no reason in the world to have a gun let alone practice at a gun range with it. The parents are extremely negligent here.

Their son BEGGED for help. Rather than get him help, they bought him a firearm. They left him alone in jail to get a Public Defender while they HID then hired a PRIVATE ATTORNEY FOR THEMSELVES! The evidence speaks for itself as well as numerous actions and texts and such by these parents to indicate consciousness of guilt. LOCK THEM UP!
