A twist in the involuntary manslaughter trial against the Oxford High School shooter’s mother in Michigan shook up the case, with the door made “wide open” for the prosecution to bring up details of the mother’s extramarital affair after being confirmed by a witness for the prosecution during arguments made in court on Wednesday, January 31, in Pontiac, Michigan.

In a lengthy cross-examination by the attorney representing Jennifer Crumbley, the mother of the then 15-year-old shooter, the affair was confirmed and became “fair game” according to the prosecution after the defense originally fought for the information not to be included in arguments.
