19-year-old Timothy Simpkins is facing three counts of attempted murder and other charges in connection to the shooting on Oct. 6, 2021.
19-year-old Timothy Simpkins is facing three counts of attempted murder, three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one count of unlawful carrying of a weapon in a prohibited place in connection to the shooting on Oct. 6, 2021.Four people were hurt in the shooting, including two teachers and two students. 15-year-old Zaccheus Selby was critically injured but survived. Another student was grazed by a bullet, and a teacher was shot.
Attorney Sean Colston, who is not affiliated with the case, offered perspective on how Simpkins’ claim of bullying might be used as a defense. Opening statements begin Monday in the trial of an accused school shooter in North Texas. Timothy Simpkins is on trial for shooting three people outside of Timberview High School two years ago.
"It just depends on the types of facts the defense presents to determine whether a jury is likely to find self-defense in any particular case," he said. Colston says it could be a slippery slope for the state and defense, given the emotional climate connected to school shootings nationwide but also bullying if that is proven.
"The law tends to make you get into the mind or the position of the person who's using the force to determine whether or not it's reasonable. And if you have someone who has truly been bullied, those are facts that a jury will have to determine whether or not that is a legitimate defense," Colston said.
