Jennifer Crumbley testifies on the stand in her manslaughter trial over her role in the 2021 Oxford High School shooting carried out by her son.
Jennifer Crumbley came under fire Friday for extramarital relationships as she was cross-examined by prosecutors in a second day on the stand in her manslaughter trial. Prosecutors grilled the mother of Oxford High School shooter Ethan Crumbley on her "vigilance as a parent" and questioned how she spent her time ahead of the shooting that killed four people in November 2021.
Prosecutors revealed that Crumbley used an app, Adult Friend Finder, to arrange "meet-ups" just days before the shooting. After her lawyers objected to the line of questioning, prosecutors said they were hitting back at her testimony that she had only one affair.
Earlier in the trial, Brian Meloche -- a long-time friend of Jennifer Crumbley -- revealed on the stand that the two had been having an affair when her son carried out the school shooting.
"She depicted herself as having one extramarital affair for a six-month period of time where she met with him one time a week. That was her testimony," Assistant Prosecutor Marc Keast said in court Friday, asking Crumbley, "It was you and Mr. Meloche arranging with other individuals to meet after work, as well?"
