it's been jennifer crumbley's trial which has been drawing attention over the last month. >> jenniferay, but she is responsible for those deaths. >> byron: prosecutors ticking through the many opportunities they say she had to prevent the deadly shooting. >> that's what this case is about. it's about jennifer crumbley's willful disregard of the danger that she knew of. >> byron: painting the picture of a negligent mother more consumed with her horses and multiple extramarital affairs than her son's deteriorating mental health. >> the defense played very strongly into jennifer crumbley being a hypervigilant mother, a helicopter mother. but when the evidence came out that she was spending $20,000 on a horse, taking care of it. when she had not just one extramarital affair of a man who testified on the stand was also going through adult friend finder to find others, it pulled apart from her credibility of saying, you're not hypervigilant, you're off doing other things. >> byron: one of her alleged lovers testifying for the prosecution. >> what did you tell the police about your relations

the school never told jennifer any of that. when they went to the school about that math worksheet, she wasn't told about the video he was watching of somebody killing somebody. she wasn't told about the english teacher sent, this semester he has been writing his violent tendencies in his papers. she didn't hear any of that. there has been a very big issue with the families in oxford about the inaction of the school. that day, the dean is the one that carried the backpack from math class, give it back to ethan. question was, why didn't you open it up? no reasonable suspicion, he said. >> very questionable. to your point, i judge, and there are so many parents who look to the school and say, you did not do right. the independent review of what happened, the 600 page report found the school failed to provide a safe and secure environment, but a circuit judge also finding that the school is protected from civil lawsuits because, obviously, school employees are government employees. but there is a lot of blame that has been found t

by asking them to think twice before they make themselves their own jennifer crumbley. is your freedom and liberty worth risking if your child gets his or her hands on your guns and commits a heinous crime like this? i would guess that there is some population of people in this country who would answer that country no. and maybe in that way, karen mcdonald has just accomplished something for our country. >> paul butler, are there prosecutors around the country looking at bringing cases they never thought they would consider before? >> yeah, so in this case, ethan was charged as an adult and he's sentenced to life without parole. but when you have tragedies like school shootings, often there's a sense that other people played a role and those other people should be held accountable. not just for school shootings, but any kind of violent crime committed by a child. often the parents are looked at. so i think this case will embolden prosecutors in those cases to think about not only charging the child but also going after the adults in his life who are responsible for them

how much will jennifer crumb p be jennifer crumbley's testimony affect the jury?typically defendants don't take the witness stand out of concern that on cross-examination they may be hung up with respect to certain testimony. i think her testimony in this case will be critical, but i also think that the witnesses that were not there on her behalf are also going to weigh into how jurors think about this case. you had 21 witnesses presented by the prosecution and the defense only called one person and that was jennifer crumbley. i think some of those jurors will be asking how come there weren't other people that came into court to testify to some of the things we heard about jennifer, particularly as her lawyer pride to paint this picture of her having this very, very close relationship with her son. >> that choice by the defense team of having jennifer crumbley be the only witness called to the stand, do you think that was a risk? >> reporter: oh, i think it was very much a risky decision on the part of the defense team. typically it's the opposite where you have m
