this morning, the guilty verdict for james crumbley is being described as a wake up call for parents's a watershed moment for our families and parents when it comes to guns. >> a jury in michigan convicting crumbley on four counts of involuntary manslaughter, holding him partially responsible for failing to prevent his son ethan from fatally shooting four students at oxford high school, buying the gun four days earlier and failing to properly secure it. >> the defense argument was he just didn't know he didn't know his son was this dangerous, and i suspect the jurors saw through that. that's not okay for a parent to have no idea that your child is on the verge of this kind of mass murder. >> crumbley's wife, jennifer, was convicted on the same charges last month. prosecutors argued the crumbleys missed warning signs about their son's mental health, including a text message in which ethan revealed he was hearing voices. he wrote, i actually asked my dad to take me to the doctor yesterday, but he just gave me some pills and told me to suck it up, prosecutors also detailed a meeting at

i don't know how james crumbley would have testified.o great but she had an uphill battle. here's why -- she basically had to say in her testimony, and this is what james would have had to say, is these things, drawings, diary entries, we didn't see any of it. that's a difficult needle to thread because you can't express regret, you can't say, oh, if only i'd done something differently because then you've proved the state's case. jennifer crumbley was criticized for seeming, well, cavalier about her son's mental health issues. but in a way she had to be. that was the only path to acquittal. if she recognized red flags, then she's on the hook. james crumbley's team probably thought this is just way too complicated for this client to handle, better that he doesn't testify. >> and obviously when you say listen i didn't know that he wrote these things, probably believable, they certainly can't prove that the parents did. let me read from some of the journal entries that were entered into evidence. made by the shooter before he killed his cla

here is part of that exchange of crumbley's attorney cross examining that gun store employee. an acknowledgment that the purchaser is going to use the cable lock, correct? >> correct. >> there's nothing directing that the purchaser has to use the cable lock, is that correct? >> correct. >> whose responsibility is it to actually make the gun safe? >> the buyer. >> reporter: and again, this is key because you remember from jennifer crumbley's trial just one month ago, she actually testified in her own defense saying it was more her in her words, her husband's thing to keep the guns in their house, including the one they had bought for ethan secure and that she essentially implied that he failed to do so and that's part of what led up to the shootings. that's been kind of a key point that's being argued in this case. james crumbley facing the exact same charges his wife was found guilty of, four counts of involuntary manslaughter, one for every student his son ethan killed at oxford high school in 2021. testimony continuing inside today. chris. >> maggie vespa, thank you. >>> the

prosecutors also accused crumbley of not getting his son the mental help he needed.day, jurors were shown the chilling journal entries ethan crumbley wrote before the massacre saying "i have access to the gun and ammo, i'm fully committed to this. going to prison for life that many people have about one day to live." killed in the attack was madisyn baldwin, tate myre, hana st. juliana, and justin shilling the second verdict in a pair of historic cases. >> i would like to thank the mothers and fathers standing to the right and left of me. it has taken unwavering courage, i will forever remain in awe of their strength and perseverance that they have shown in the last two and half years. this verdict does not bring back their children, but it does mark a moment of accountability. >> reporter: andres gutierrez, cbs news pontiac, michigan. >> norah: now to a political rebuke causing shock waves from washington to tel aviv. the top democrat in the senate and the highest-ranking jewish elected official is slamming israel's prime minister, calling for new elections to repla

if james crumbley was not the shooter yeah. >> yeah. you know, is about the reality is this obviously the issue of emotion is something that the jury has got to be instructed about. it's not about emotion, it's not about who you like, who you don't like. it's not about your personal feelings, it's about the evidence having said that p people are people. human nature is human nature. and as a result of that, it's hard not really to make a connection with the fact that there are four kids dead. why who's accountable for that? could it have been prevented? and so when you hear this emotional testimony, when you hear the impact that it had on the school, the impact that had on the community, the impact that had on but you're looking to see why and who's responsible, why we even here, who could have done something better and father, if that was you because of your lack of hiding, concealing the gun, or knowing how to treat your son when he needed help? then what we may be more likely the jury, to assess guilt in the event, right? that that's

that is the very same day and time that jennifer crumbley's sentencing is going to take place. so both of them together, but it makes sense because you're going to have victim impact statements. here in michigan. victim impact statements there how to fight in the statute. and they encouraged them. they want everyone who is a victim of family member, immediate surviving victim, to be able to present that victory from impact statement. so one day, i think is appropriate. so the families won't have to go through it two separate days in two separate times. >> june because ours thank you for everything i appreciate it coming up next back to the former president's legal troubles this time, it's new york stormy daniels hush money case and the unexpected move, prosecutor alvin bragg just made signaling he is open quinta delaying the trial less than two weeks before it's set to start >> kinda riva support your brain health. >> very janet, hey, eddie, know appraiser, franck, franck, bread. how are you? >> fred, fuel up to seven brain health indicators, including your memory, joined the n
