She slept at friends’ houses to avoid being around him. Hudson’s own step-grandmother went on national television and called the family cruise “a recipe for disaster” — and said the parents should be held accountable. Three teenagers who weren’t raised together were put in a single cabin on a ship in international waters. The question everyone is asking is the one the Crumbley case made possible: can parents be held criminally responsible for what their child allegedly did? The Crumbley parents were convicted for ignoring documented warning signs. The evidence emerging in the Kepner case suggests the warning signs may have been just as clear. But there’s a wall. The Carnival Horizon flies a Panamanian flag. This happened outside any state’s jurisdiction. There is no federal contributing-to-delinquency statute. If there’s no law on the books that covers the parents’ alleged decisions, the comparison to the Crumbleys stops at the courthouse door. Meanwhile, the judge who released Hudson in February just reversed himself. Sealed evidence filed June 8 moved Magistrate Judge Torres to order detention, writing that Hudson could “snap at any time” and that his alleged conduct suggests “a level of psychopathy and lack of remorse.” Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and Robin Dreeke examine what moved the judge, whether proving Anna was afraid of Hudson changes the legal picture for parental charges, and what the road to trial looks like now that Hudson is behind bars. Timothy Hudson, sixteen, is charged as an adult with first-degree murder. He has pleaded not guilty and is entitled to the presumption of innocence.
