Prosecution paid $100K to PR firms to 'smear' the Crumbleys

https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/oakland/2025/01/13/crumbley-campaign-smear-prosecution-defense-ethan/77664834007/

Actual headline is "Lawyer: Prosecution paid $100K to PR firms to 'smear' the Crumbleys"

That first word is actually relevant.

I was also struck by this quote from the same lawyer:

"On this point, it is worth repeating that there is no binding precedent in Michigan from which to find that Mrs. Crumbley owed any legal duty to protect the victims (or the public at large) from the intentional, criminal acts of her son,"

His argument is that the Crumbleys had zero responsibility to their community, to their son's peers, or apparently to their son, who was 15 when he killed four classmates. At 15, they purchased their mentally ill teen a handgun, did not install the FREE trigger lock, and did not secure the weapon.

Moreover, after their 15 year old had killed four classmates, they emptied their savings accounts and helped him run. That is not the response of a person with any sort of moral compass or impulses to be a member of a functioning society.

Yeah, that's rather damning, isn't it?

No. It’s more of the same PR smearing.

A documentary isn't smearing, if it's accurate. Are you saying these are fake facts?

This entire circus is the corrupt Democrat machine apparatus to gun grab and destroy a low class right wing family. There are hundreds of parents in Detroit or Washington you could charge with similar annually. Let me know when the Democrat machine puts this effort into doing that. It’ll never happen.

Contracts that date back to Jan. 1, 2022, show the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office spent at least $100,000 of taxpayer money when it entered into agreements with two public relations firms, Identity and Moment Strategies, LLC, to “manage and coordinate the media."

Jennifer and James Crumbley were tried and convicted in separate trials.

Also at issue for Dezsi is a contract that the prosecutor's office brokered with a Washington Post reporter, who also had inside access to the prosecutor's office before and during trial, and even sat in on trial strategy sessions when prosecutors discussed how they would present certain evidence, or what questions they would ask of certain witnesses.

That's not what "smear" means. Sorry, friend. They were bad parents and deserved conviction.

How do you feel about parents whose teens are repeatedly unsupervised and kill someone by speeding or carjacking?

They don’t care. They only want to smear and destroy parents perceived to be low income right wing MAGA voters.
