The Tenth Man

Jennifer Crumbley is going to prison, caught in the jaws of power abuse. The prosecutor is more interested in personal fame than in justice, and shining a light on domestic violence would expose her own culpability.
Follow the trail from small-town tragedy - the Oxford Targeted Shooting - to Division One football, the corporate world and Hollywood, not to mention the mainstream media and even academia, because the individual most at fault for the tragedy has powerful connections in each of these worlds.
Connections moulded in the fire of domestic violence. Violence committed by a Division I football coach and a rap star, Sean Puffy Combs.
It's easier to prosecute a helpless mother - Jennifer Crumbley - with no resources, than to attack a woman with powerful friends, one whose dereliction exposes that prosecutor's own culpability.
And it gives a selfish prosecutor much more glory to lead "the first prosecution of parents" than it would to simply identify the one employee at Oxford schools who had the power, and the job description, to have prevented the massacre.
Feeding the hungry mob of "Moms Who Need a Cause" is an added bonus.
Correction: The mention of Stanford U is an error; it was Vanderbilt
