The parents of Oxford High school shooter Ethan Crumbley have remained jailed for more than a year and a half, held on bonds some argue are excessive and politically motivated.
If you know you’re not going be successful in your case, but still want to make an example out of someone that would be the way… Almost two years in jail so far.
If you read more, you really start to see how messed up it is. They’re all at the same jail but have what sounds like no contact with each other kept in isolation.
If you know anything about isolation in prison it’s pretty much a new form of torture that is somehow legal. Worse, when the kid was arraigned his parents weren’t even allowed to be there. The whole thing is really fucked, but shows how mess up the government is with this sort of thing.
The prosecution has done a great job of poisoning the pool and putting out as much as they can how bad they are as parents, but this all just feels wrong at a fundamental thing. Especially because these two are never going to have a normal life after this.
There’s something about the amount of time spent in jail without trial, and something about how they could have just walked right out if they had the money.
And then there’s something about how this is how the system is by design - it’s not some freak procedural accident. It’s incredible that it’s allowed to go on like this.
Also remember they are now knows as the parents of that murderer… how many jobs do you think would be interested in them? (Granted before this apparently the dad was doing Door Dash, but the point stands)
Isolation is definitely torture, but it’s hardly a new form of it. It’s been used to destroy people throughout history. Not to disagree with anything you’ve written here.
