In opening statements on Monday, prosecutors made the case that the Georgia man whose teenage son is accused of carrying out the deadliest school shooting in the state’s history more than a year ago is also responsible for the attack.

The shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, left students Christian Angulo and Mason Schermerhorn and teachers Richard Aspinwall and Cristina Irimie dead and several others injured.
