Oxford school shooting suspect Ethan Crumbley pleads not guilty at arraignment

The suspect in the Oxford High School shooting pleaded not guilty to four counts of murder.

A judge scheduled a status conference for January 19 for Crumbley, who entered the plea at his brief court appearance. The 15-year-old suspect was looking at the Oakland County jail where he is being held without bond when the arraignment was held.

The probable cause hearing for the teen accused of the Oxford School shooting will be held on January 7, 2022, in the 52-3 courtroom of Judge Carniak in Rochester Hills. The case will be taken to the circuit court.

The judge denied the defense's request to transfer the teenager to a youth center. According to the federal statute cited by Crumbley's lawyers, those charged as adults cannot be within sight or sound of adults. They argue that it's not possible at the Oakland County jail.

The lawsuit says that Oxford school officials accelerated the timetable for murder.

There is a statute that requires that a juvenile's incarceration be re-evaluated every 30 days, so the argument for removing Ethan Crumbley to a youth detention center will likely come up again.

There are new details in a lawsuit about Crumbley's actions in the weeks before the shooting. According to the lawsuit, many mistakes were made by multiple school officials who ignored many red flags that would have prevented the massacre.

There are red flags.

Three weeks before the massacre, the teenager brought a bird's head to school in a mason jar filled with yellow liquid and left it on top of a toilet paper dispenser in the boy's bathroom, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit states that school officials told students and parents that there was nothing to worry about.

The teenager showed up with bullets to class on the day before the shooting, the lawsuit alleges, as well as researching on his cellphone that same day. School officials knew about the gun he had drawn, and he posted a message on the eve of the shooting saying he was going to be the destroyer of worlds. See you tomorrow.

I deserve to know the details of the Oxford school shooting case.

The Oxford School District's attorney declined to comment on the latest allegations in the lawsuit, citing the ongoing criminal case. He said that the lawsuit contains "untrue" claims.

The priority right now is justice. There are a lot of allegations that will be shown to be false.

The terrorism and first-degree murder charges were brought against him after he allegedly opened fire in a school hallway with a gun that his parents had bought him just four days prior.

The teen is accused of killing four people and injuring seven others.

His parents are facing charges of manslaughter for the deaths of four students because of poor parenting choices. The couple is accused of ignoring a child who was out of control. Prosecutors said that they bought their son a gun and failed to properly secure it.

The parents have pleaded not guilty.

After the gunfire started, he surrendered to Oakland County Sheriff's deputies who had responded to the shooting. His parents were called to the school office that morning because he had drawn a gun in class and said "The thoughts won't stop." Help me.

The parents were told to seek counseling for their son or the school would report his behavior to Child Protective Services within 48 hours, but they refused to take their son home. The teen was allowed to return to class with his backpack, which police believe contained the weapon used in the attack. Police said that video evidence from inside the school showed that the boy had a gun his parents had bought him.

The 15-year-old's attorney believes that there is a chance that he will plead guilty.

The teen's lawyer told Fox 2's Charlie Langton last week that there was a possibility of a plea. It is too early. We haven't reviewed all of the discovery yet. It's too early to jump to that phase, but that is a definite possibility.

The Crumbley's have maintained that they are not guilty, because they had no way of knowing that their son would use the gun to shoot up his school.

The Crumbleys are being held at the Oakland County jail on $500,000 bonds. The family members can't communicate with each other.

There is a person in court for a court appearance.
