Jacob Cronick vs. The State of Michigan

Trial Transparency & Public Accountability Archive

⚖️ Overview

Welcome to the official archive documenting The People of the State of Michigan v. Jacob Cronick — a controversial and emotionally charged case involving the shooting of Eric Parrotta in Delta County. This site ensures transparency, access to public records, and the preservation of facts for public review and accountability.

🎬 People’s Exhibits 1–13

Browse video evidence and critical exhibits presented during the trial. With Jacobs security set-up I'd would of imagined that Jacob gets notifications on his phone if motion is detected, my $20 outdoor camera does, but Jacob calimed under oath he didn't know.

It's important to know the time stamp in Exhibit 5 at 9:33 AM Eric Parrotta and John Parrotta arrive at Jacobs house to see if the tractor was working, like it was supposed to be.

Exhibits 6, 7, 8, 10, 11 show Eric and John working on the tractor and go out of frame at 9:41 AM. Several camera angles, and allegedly Jacob didn't know anyone was outside his house. No motion detection or ears to hear a large truck and trailer.

Exhibit 9 has no substance. It's a 33 minute recording of the side of the property. I believe you capture a dog.

Exhibit 12 captures my dad from another angle at 9:41 AM

Exhibit 13 is Alexandrias 911 call

The second 911 call happened when Alexandria was shoved to the ground, with a gun in her face which caused her iPhone to make an automatic 911 call, that is why you hear no responses from her.

📱 How iPhone’s Crash Detection & Fall Detection Work

Apple’s Crash Detection (on newer iPhones like iPhone 14/15 and Apple Watch Series 8/Ultra and newer) and Fall Detection (on Apple Watch Series 4 and newer) use a combination of:

  • Accelerometers (measure rapid changes in movement)
  • Gyroscopes (detect rotational force)
  • Barometer (detects pressure changes)
  • Microphone (listens for crash sounds like airbag deployment)

🚗 Crash Detection (Car Accident)

Apple doesn’t publish exact force numbers, but engineering tests and teardowns show that:

  • The system looks for sudden extreme deceleration, usually equivalent to an impact of 20–50+ g-forces (where 1 g = Earth’s gravity).
  • For context, a minor fender bender might generate 2–5 g, but a serious car crash can easily exceed 25–50 g for a brief instant.
  • So Crash Detection is tuned for high-force collisions like car crashes — not just a hard drop or a shove.

🚶‍♂️ Fall Detection (People Falling)

On Apple Watch:

  • Detects a sudden change in speed, typically around 2.5–3 g or more in a short time span.
  • Also looks for impact orientation (wrist angle) and lack of movement afterward.

✅ Bottom Line

  • Crash Detection: ~20–50+ g, typical of a real car crash.
  • Fall Detection: ~2–3 g, typical of a hard fall to the ground.
  • A simple shove or push is unlikely to activate either unless it results in a sudden impact and lack of movement after.

❗ Why This Matters

This archive sheds light on how the justice system handles cases involving deadly force and complex family conflicts. The goal is truth, accountability, and public oversight. Alexandria Parrotta was still the legal property owner at the time of the incident.
