unprecedented prosecution and proving criminally negligent or reckless homicide is tough under any circumstances. that said, i can't think of or imagine a better perfect storm collection of fact and evidence to potentially hold these parents responsible. so i think it's a real possibility that this prosecution could be successful. i think the most damming pieces of evidence are her text message, one as you mentioned, lol'ing the idea of him making the searches for ammunition, essentially giving him her implicit authorization that's an okay thing to do and hide it from your teachers. and the second, her immediate reaction when she hears there's a shooting, she texts don't do it. wasn't thinking, oh, no, my son could be a victim. she's in the mindset of course it's him. it's very damming.
