The Michigan Supreme Court has granted a request to temporarily suspend the trial of Jennifer and James Crumbley, the first parents in America to be charged in a mass school shooting.

At issue is whether there was probable cause – or sufficient evidence – to bind the Crumbleys over for trial on charges that seek to hold them responsible for the deaths of four students killed by their son, who used a gun his parents bought him to carry out his crime.

Also, An Oakland County judge has again ruled that accused school shooter Ethan Crumbley will remain in the Oakland County Jail rather than be transferred to Children’s Village, the county’s juvenile facility.

It’s absolutely ridiculous. The dissent is correct. This is not the right procedure.

I don't understand how it can go to appeal before there's an actual trial. My brother is an attorney local to this - he has long maintained that this is likely an instance of law needing to catch up with society and that the parents probably didn't actually do anything illegal. I think that should play out in court and, like the dissent notes, the appellate process exists to confirm or invalidate those results.
