Prosecutors detail threats made by James Crumbley, ask for 10-15 years for both parents

In jail calls spanning at least seven months, James Crumbley repeatedly threatened Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald, calling her expletives and saying he was “on a rampage” and the attorney was “going down,” according to details released Wednesday in the prosecutor’s sentencing memorandum.

Crumbley, the father of the Oxford High School shooter, refers to McDonald as “that f—–g stupid whore b—h” and addresses the comments to her, at times saying “I hope you’re listening to this,” according to the memorandum.

“Yeah, Karen McDonald, you’re going down. Yeah. You stupid b—–s at the jail. Go ahead, record this call, Send it to Karen McDonald. Tell her how James Crumbley is going to f—–g take her down,” he said Oct. 9.

The memorandum was filed just days before Crumbley, along with his wife, Jennifer, are to be sentenced Tuesday in Oakland Circuit Court by Judge Cheryl Matthews after being convicted of involuntary manslaughter. Prosecutors are asking Matthews to sentence both James and Jennifer to 10 to 15 years in prison; 15 is the maximum sentence allowed by law.
