'Law & Order' episode seems ripped from headlines on parents charged in Oxford school case - Yahoo Finance

"Law & Order" ran on NBC from 1990 to 2010 and was revived in February 2022.
"Law & Order" ran on NBC from 1990 to 2010 and was revived in February 2022.

Last year's Oxford school shooting is the apparent inspiration for a "Law & Order" episode scheduled to air at 8 p.m. Thursday on NBC.

Titled "Legacy," the episode concerns the shooting of a headmaster at an upscale private school. That's according to a description featured on several TV-themed websites.

In a brief preview that has been posted by some of these sites and puts the phrase "ripped from the headlines" on the screen, the plot appears to revolve around whether the father of the alleged teen shooter is also culpable for the crime.

In one scene, assistant district attorney Nathan Price (Hugh Dancy) says, "His father provided the murder weapon."

Another clip shows district attorney Jack McCoy (played by veteran "L&O" star Sam Waterston) saying, "Knowing his son had emotional issues, he gave his son a weapon?"

An offscreen voice, apparently Waterston's, says, "I want to charge his father for murder." That's followed by Dancy's character saying, "We need to send a message."

Jennifer and James Crumbley both have been charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the Nov. 30, 2021, shooting at Oxford High School in Michigan's Oxford Township that left four students dead and six other students and one teacher injured.

Prosecutors say that four days before the shooting, the couple bought their son, 15-year-old Ethan Crumbley, the gun he is charged with using in the mass shooting.

The "Law & Order" preview had another similarity to the Oxford case. Clips show close-ups of a disturbing drawing with guns, violence and anguished faces. Detectives Kevin Bernard (Anthony Anderson) and Frank Cosgrove (Jeffrey Donovan) are seen standing by a school locker from which a disturbing drawing is removed.
