Michigan Judge to Decide If Teen Shooter Gets Life in Prison

A judge in Michigan must decide whether a school shooter who killed four students and wounded seven others in 2021 should ever be allowed to leave prison. Ethan Crumley was 15 years old when he carried out the attack. So the judge is required to evaluate whether he should spend life in prison or if he can ever be eligible for parole, that is required after a 2012 Supreme Court decision. Prosecutors argue that Crumley cannot be rehabilitated while his defense argues his age and home life played a part in his actions. The hearing is expected to last through at least Friday and possibly stretch well into next week.
