PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) — Prosecutors have begun making their case for a life sentence for a Michigan teenager who killed four students at his high school in 2021. They introduced dark journal entries written by Ethan Crumbley, chilling video and testimony from a wounded staff member. Molly Darnell was one of seven people wounded that day. Darnell says she “locked eyes” with a boy in baggy clothes raising a gun toward her. After she was shot, she scrambled to lock her office door. Crumbley’s attorneys acknowledge that he’s in line for a long prison sentence, but they want him to be eligible for parole. The hearing resumes Friday.
