Colin Gray Faces 180 Years — And the Alleged Evidence Trail Is Devastating

Colin Gray is on trial for second-degree murder because prosecutors say he armed a child he allegedly knew was dangerous. Former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down the state's case against the father of the Apalachee High School shooter — and explains why the defense may be fighting an unwinnable battle.

The prosecution's timeline spans years of alleged warning signs. An alleged 2021 search for "how to kill your dad." An FBI visit in 2023 over school shooting threats, with investigators reportedly instructing Colin to restrict gun access. A Christmas gift of an AR-15-style rifle seven months after that visit, according to prosecutors. And in August 2024, Colt allegedly texted his father, "Whenever something happens, just know the blood is on your hands," and asked him to buy 150 rounds of ammunition.

The defense claims Colt led a double life. But prosecutors allege the evidence was inside the home — a reported shrine to the Parkland shooter, reported voices, alleged violence toward his mother, and prescription medication without medical oversight. When officers arrived at the Gray home, Colin allegedly said two words the prosecution may never let the jury forget: "I knew it."

With 29 felony counts, up to 180 years exposure, roughly 20 juvenile victims testifying about being shot, and a legal theory that goes beyond what convicted the Crumbleys, Faddis gives his honest take on where this is headed.
