Collection scope & recording notes

James Crumbley faced four involuntary-manslaughter charges following the Oxford High School shooting that killed four students in November 2021. His trial focused on his own actions, access to the gun he bought, and responses to warning signs about his son. Seven recordings: five trial days, the Day 6 verdict broadcast and joint sentencing. Law&Crime supplies Day 2; the other recordings are from Court TV. Jennifer’s trial and their son’s proceedings are excluded. Joint sentencing is intentionally present in both parents’ archives. 7 recordings, approximately 39 broadcast hours. Original source titles and credits are retained. LIVE in a title refers to the original broadcast. Recordings can contain breaks and broadcaster commentary; this is not a certified complete court record.

Before you watch

Why does Day 2 have a different broadcaster?

Law&Crime’s March 8 broadcast is used in place of a shorter Court TV archive. The date and trial-day order remain the same, and the original credit is shown.

What is included in this collection?

Seven recordings: five trial days, the Day 6 verdict broadcast and joint sentencing. Law&Crime supplies Day 2; the other recordings are from Court TV. Jennifer’s trial and their son’s proceedings are excluded. Joint sentencing is intentionally present in both parents’ archives.

Is this the official complete court record?

No. This is a viewing collection of available broadcaster recordings. Uploads may contain breaks, commentary, edits or omissions. Original titles and credits are preserved, and LIVE in a title refers to the original broadcast. This guide describes the historical trial, not the current status of appeals.
