Prosecutors used video and photos from the scene of the shooting to illustrate the calculation they say Crumbley used to kill students at Oxford High School and traumatize a community.
Assistant principal Kristy Gibson-Marshall testified that she talked to Crumbley while he was in the midst of the massacre, then became covered in blood as she tried to help a student he’d just shot; Tate Myre.
MARSHALL: “Took me months…probably almost a year…to get the taste of Tate’s blood out of my mouth.”
The defense countered that adolescent brains are still developing well into their 20’s and have the capacity to be rehabilitated.
