Reporter jane conroy, an attorney for the plaintiffs, acknowledges that with up to 100,000 people eligible for compensation, some might receive very little or choose to opt out.

Every woman in the group here, i feel, is like a sister. I dont even see jewish or palestinian anymore. I just see human beings. Reporter the safety of this environment has allowed these women to remain committed to each other in the face of october 7th and after. You absorbed my pain as i absorbed your pain.

Theres room in a humanitarian way to recognize the trauma of the other. And people have lost that ability right now. Reporter a message these women are spreading far beyond this room, including on college campuses, many of which have become deeply polarized. At the university of michigan, two students, one jewish and one palestinian, started the arabjewish alliance more than a year ago to foster better relations between cultures. I grew up jewish, and the only time when i ever met arab students was in my arabic class. I was like how can we bring arab students and jewish students together and this kind of set us down this path. I think the week after october 7th, i was looking on my twitter and saw the dehumanizing rhetoric. I was like i want to find a club where i could interact with people on the other side.

Not only did your son kill my daughter, but you both did as well. Tonight a judge sentences the parents of a School Gunman for up to 15 years in prison as theyre the first to be convicted for their childs mass shooting. Each act or inaction created a ripple effect. Announcer this is the cbs overnight news. Good evening. Im norah odonnell, and thank you for being with us. Were going to get to that emotional scene in the courtroom in just a moment. Families coming face to face with the parents convicted of Involuntary Manslaughter for the role in their sons mass shooting. But we do want to begin tonight with a major abortion ruling that once again is putting the issue at the forefront of the 2024 president ial campaign. Arizonas Supreme Court today ruled that a 160yearold near total abortion ban is still enforceable. The law dates back to 1864, on the books since before arizona was a state and before women had the right to vote. Arizona will be the 18th state to severely restrict or outright ban the procedure since roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022. The decision comes the day after former President Donald Trump claimed he doesnt support a federal ban. But today President Biden said trump is directly to blame for the ruling, calling the decision extreme and dangerous. Cbss nancy cordes reports now on the fallout. It is a dark day in arizona. Reporter arizonas democratic governor begged the legislature to step in today after the states conservative Supreme Court reinstated a civil warera abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest. The author of the 42 decision wrote, physicians are now on notice that all abortions except those necessary to save a womans life are illegal, with doctors facing a two to fiveyear mandatory prison sentence. We are 14 days away from this extreme ban coming back to life. It must be repealed immediately. Reporter the decision does away with the states current 15week ban, which antiabortion rights activists had challenged in court. Its always the best decision to protect life as much as possible. Reporter arizona is now poised to join 17 other states that have imposed neartotal abortion bans since roe v. Wade was struck down. But unlike many of those states, arizona is a pivotal swing state that went for President Biden in 2020. The states democratic a. G. Announced today, as long as i am attorney general, no woman or doctor will be prosecuted under this draconian law. Does that give doctors the certainty they need to keep performing abortions if they feel they need to . Well, i think that medical providers are going to have to weigh their options and their risk with their own Legal Counsel quite frankly. Reporter chris love helps lead arizona for abortion access, a group that has already gathered half a million signatures for a november state ballot measure that would establish a constitutional right to an abortion. We have told arizona voters whats at stake. I think today is a clear example that we were being serious about that, right . Reporter the Biden Campaign is counting on that ballot measure and others like it to help drive democrats to the polls in november. The issue is a proven motivator, which could help explain why several Top Republicans in arizona came out against the Supreme Court ruling today, saying, norah, that it goes too far and is out of step with the state. Republicans were denouncing it. Nancy cordes, thank you. Well, now to that other groundbreaking court case, the sentencing of james and Jennifer Crumbley, the first parents in the u. S. To be held criminally responsible for their Childs School shooting. A michigan judge today sentenced each parent to 10 to 15 years in prison in connection with the shooting deaths of four students at Oxford High School in 2021. Cbss Andres Gutierrez was inside the courtroom. The blood of our children is on your hands too. Reporter one by one, family members of the four students killed at Oxford High School addressed james and Jennifer Crumbley just before they were sentenced.

I was forced to say goodbye to my madisyn. Reporter the crumbleys were found guilty of Involuntary Manslaughter early this year. Separate juries found they willfully failed to prevent their son, ethan, from bringing a handgun to his Michigan School in 2021 and opening fire. Today they each asked for leniency and forgiveness. I am sorry for your loss as a result of what my son did. We were good parents. Reporter but the judge sentenced them to a minimum of 10 years in prison minus time already served. These convictions confirm repeated acts or lack of acts that could have halted an oncoming runaway train. Reporter during their trials, prosecutors painted the couple as absent parents more concerned with themselves than their sons Mental Health and accused them of gross negligence for buying a sig sauer handgun as a present for ethan four days before the shooting and then failing to secure it. Today craig shilling, the father of justin, said the families have been waiting for this moment. I feel that there was some justice here today for sure. The sentence was appropriate, and im glad that we received that. Reporter criminal defense attorney Joe Tamburino predicts this historic case will set a precedent for other parents. If your child is expressing the same type of behavior, the same type of mental state attitude that Ethan Crumbley was expressing, you must do something about it. Reporter and in handi
