Judge Primm noted the novelty of the school shooting case, saying it's the first of its kind in Georgia and the second he's aware of in the nation. "What we're really referencing is this new phenomenon of parents being charged in conjunction with crimes that their children are committing," Primm said. "It's a divisive case." Primm said the father was convicted because "the warning lights were flashing brighter and brighter" and he didn't get his son help or remove his access to guns. "No parent thinks that their child is going to be the next school shooter, but it became more and more obvious that something bad was going to happen," Primm said.
