A judge has denied a motion to reduce bonds for the jailed parents of a Michigan teenager who is charged in a shooting at Oxford High School that left four of his fellow students dead. Oakland County Circuit Judge Cheryl Matthews said Tuesday that James and Jennifer Crumbley’s actions before their Dec. 4 arrests in a commercial building in Detroit were “not consistent with cooperating with law enforcement.” The Crumbleys had disappeared the day before — after they were charged with involuntary manslaughter. Their attorneys had requested that their bonds be lowered from $500,000 each to $100,000 each. They indicated they would appeal and would seek a change of venue. Ethan Crumbley is charged with murder and other crimes in the Nov. 30 shooting.
