Episode 100. Involuntary Manslaughter: The Conviction of Jennifer Crumbley, Safe Storage Laws, and the Right to Keep and Bear Arms
In this episode, host Alex Ooley, discusses the case of Jennifer Crumbley, who was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for the actions of her son, who killed four people at Oxford High School in Michigan. The case raises questions about the criminal liability of parents for the actions of their children. Alex also explains the different states of mind in criminal cases and the higher burden of proof required in criminal prosecutions. He also discusses the implications of safe storage laws and the importance of personal responsibility in preventing tragedies. The episode concludes with a call to preserve individual freedom and spread the message of liberty.
Takeaways
Parents can be held criminally liable for the actions of their children, as demonstrated in the case of Jennifer Crumley.
Criminal cases require a higher burden of proof and different states of mind must be proven, such as intent or negligence.
Safe storage laws, while well-intentioned, may have unintended consequences and can embolden criminals.
Personal responsibility, including arming teachers, can be an effective deterrent to mass killings.
Preserving individual freedom and spreading the message of liberty is crucial in preventing the erosion of rights.
