Having dealt with the case against mass shooter Ethan Crumbley, the Miller hearing regarding life without parole in the case of a minor, and the sentencing hearing, Oakland County now proceeds in the case against Ethan’s mother. https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/oxford-high-school-shooting-trial-jennifer-crumbley-jury. It is the perfect test case if you ask me. I respect the office for bringing the case. It won’t be easy to try and the rubber won’t meet the road on the cases against the parents until the appellate courts have their say. Ethan’s father will be tried beginning in March. If they are convicted there will be sentencing hearings that probably won’t be scheduled until summer. In short, the Oakland County prosecutor’s office has its hands full. If you eliminate everyone in that office who cannot be trusted to work on the OCCK cold case while the A-team is on the Crumbley cases; well–there’s not a lot of hope at my end.
Hands so full, in fact, that after reaching out to us in April, they eventually ghosted us. I will have more to say about this period between April 2023 and today, “when the time is right,” as they say. No doubt they got overwhelmed with the Crumbleys. Or maybe they don’t like dealing with victims’ family members like me. And they may have learned the hard way just how hard it is to get the MSP to do . . . anything. Oh, they are too busy, too–so many bad guys, so little time, so much chain-of-command folderol.
In the meantime, let’s take a look at the evidence in the OCCK case because no one in law enforcement will. This compilation is interesting but does not show what has been tested or by whom. There are no helpful dates. Keep in mind that DNA was taken of relatives of suspects and relatives of the victims, as well as from people whose DNA would be needed to eliminate instances of cross-contamination.
Is anything listed on this spreadsheet that a lab like Othram could work with?

To be clear, this is the current list of evidence including location? Thirteen pages of listed evidence, pretty sure a third party lab like Othram could find plenty of possibilities to work with. So, Michigan, what’s the hold up? Seems like a no brainier to me, which should appeal to you.
Yes.
If it is the case that none of this evidence is amenable to further testing by a lab like Othram, this is indeed the end of the road. Yet the arrogance and cruelty of law enforcement continues. After almost FIFTY YEARS you won’t explain to the public and the families where this case stands? During the era of Jessica Cooper, Paul Walton, Garry Gray and Dave Robertson, not one of them asked for people to come forward with information, not one of them explained that they would make sure any and all DNA testing was and is done and where the case stood. No, just shit talk the King family. Never account for your failures or use of taxpayer dollars.
Fast forward to today. The state police is the agency of “don’t.” We don’t talk to survivors. We don’t talk to family members of victims. We don’t talk to the press. I have another “don’t” for you: Don’t ever hand over an entire investigation to the MSP. Brooks Patterson would have never deferred to the then-Oakland County Sheriff, Johannes Spreen, because he was a Democrat.
And oh my god, I have been watching the trial of Jennifer Crumbley. Establishing an ineffective assistance of counsel argument for appeal right out of the box. Unbelievable.
The Alina Habba school of trial practice.
Keep reminding viewers there is zero coverage on the OCCK case. The children affected by the OCCK are now in their 50s. The teenagers would in their 60s and many of the adults are deceased. The clock is ticking.
Day 2: Wow. Tonight maybe review the exhibit list and the exhibits like you should have at least a week ago or whenever you got it. Biggest phrase of the morning: “I’m sorry your Honor, . . . .”
I’m stunned by her ineptitude. Her website touts her as a sharp, case-winning expert who specializes in defending those accused of criminal sexual conduct. There a few glam shots on the website to let you know that beauty and brains can happily co-exist. Ah, the dangers of self-promotion!
It’s shocking. The judge has had to be her co-counsel in order to avoid obvious grounds for appeal. I was sickened by her website and am likewise appalled by her failings at trial.
