Summary
Jennifer Crumbley. On Tuesday, a Michigan jury convicted Crumbley, a school shooter's mother, on four counts of involuntary manslaughter for her son’s killing of four high-school students in 2021. Crumbley is the first parent in the U.S. to ever be found criminally responsible for their child carrying out a mass killing. Her husband, James Crumbley, is scheduled to stand trial next month.
Editor's note: Tangle does not name mass shooters because of the well documented contagion effect. For similar reasons, where possible, we also try to share limited information about the shooter and their alleged motives.

| 0:44.8 | Good morning, good afternoon and good evening and welcome to the Tangle podcast, the place we get views from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking, and a little bit of my take. |
| 1:00.2 | I'm your host, Isaac Saul. Today is Thursday, February 8th. We are talking about the conviction of a Michigan mother in a mass shooting case. She was the mom of a young boy, a 15-year-old, |
| 1:18.2 | who shot up a school in Michigan, and she's being held responsible for the actions of her son. |
| 1:24.9 | The big moment in American history, a very interesting case, lots of really |
| 1:28.7 | compelling arguments on both sides of the political spectrum about this. And really not a left |
| 1:35.4 | right issue. People on the left have very mixed feelings about it. People on the right have very |
| 1:40.7 | mixed feelings about it. The reasons for their mixed feelings are different for sure, but I don't think either kind of punditry side is super united on this issue, |
| 1:49.7 | which is something we see a lot in this stuff we cover. So it's a really fascinating case. |
| 1:54.0 | I'm excited to jump into it. Before we do, a couple of quick heads up. First of all, |
| 1:58.5 | we have a new video on our YouTube channel, getting a lot of |
| 2:01.2 | fun feedback, positive responses about this video. You should definitely go check it out. It is all about |
| 2:06.8 | our attempt to create the perfect president, the perfect presidential candidate, I should say. |
| 2:13.1 | And also we have a new podcast coming out tomorrow and another new podcast coming out on Sunday. |
| 2:19.8 | So I want to give you a heads up about both them. |
| 2:21.6 | First of all, tomorrow, I sat down with Bill O'Reilly, the former Fox News host, the Tucker |
| 2:28.0 | Carlson. |
| 2:28.6 | Before there was Tucker Carlson, we had a pretty fun conversation, chopped it up, disagreed about some things, argued a little bit. |
