Rachel welcome back to
Fox AMP friends,
the parents of suspected school
shooter, Ethan Crumbley weeping
in court, as the judge sets bail
at five hundred thousand dollars, each both pleading
not guilty to involuntary
manslaughter charges,
Fox NEWS, legal analyst,
Gregg Jarrett. If there was ever
a case that merited charges
against parents of a school
shooter. This is it
he joins us now
Greg. You feel very strongly.
This meets that threshold, at
least until we hear more from
the defense
yesterday, we saw the
arraignment at least most of it,
on our show at the end of our
Fox amp friends, and the lawyers
for these parents seem to say,
listen. This is not the case.
What the prosecutor laid out is
not what happened.
So what say you
well, you expect that from a
defense attorney and at the
outset of a case, the defense
attorneys probably know the
least of anybody
look instead of getting their
son, who was deeply troubled,
the professional help he needed.
What do the parent do?
They went out and bought him a
gun.
They deliberately ignored all
the warning signs that he was
psychologically unstable and
poised to commit violence,
drawing pictures of killing
people laughing about it,
searching the internet in the
classroom for ammunition.
They insisted he remain in
school, never disclosing they
had gone out and just days
before, bought him a gun and
taken him to the firing range to
practice using it.
So I mean this constitutes a
very definition of carelessness.
Gross negligence beinglessness,
which Unmichigan law is
involuntary manslaughter
Rachel Gregg. Could the school
be under negligence?
They saw pictures
as a mom. I wouldnt want that
child in school, with the other
children
violates their rights to have
somebody that unstable in the
classroom
can that be extended to school
as well.
The school will certainly be
sued civilly for wrongful death
and other damages for failure to
protect.
They too didnt take aggressive
action to intervene and to
suspend him immediately
serve his backpack
search. His person
remove him from school grounds.
They have an active duty to
ensure safety of other students
Rachel definitely
later in the show well be
speaking with a psychologist.
What is plaguing our young men,
in particular in America,
so that is something I hope our
viewers will stick around for
Gregg. I want to move on to
Chris Cuomo.
As you know, CNN fired their star
anchor immediately effective
immediately.
That was following an internal
review. They did into his sexual
harrassment allegations against
his brother.
What do you make of this, and do
you think that it? The saga, will
end here with this firing or do
you think other heads are going
to roll in this story?
Oh, I think there will be
dramatic changes at CNN.
Cuomo lied to his bosses, lied
to his colleagues and he lied to
his viewers.
He went on air and said I never
used my journalistic credentials
to contact media on behalf of my
brother,
his own testimony and text
messages, though that was a lie,
but I think you will see new
changes now that discovery has
taken over CNN
John Malone, the largest
shareholder, has said he wants
changes and return to journalism
at CNN,
so I dont see how Jeff Zucker
or Brian, Stelter or Jeffrey
Toobin survive this.
I think there will be some
significant changes at CNN
Rachel that will be interesting
to watch.
Certainly Jeffrey Toobins
performances are worthy of
firing
Gregg. Thank you. So much for.
