Timothy Simpkins has been found guilty of attempted capital murder in the Timberview High School shooting trial. Click here for the latest
Jury deliberations began at about 9:15 a.m., considering attempted capital murder charges in 2021 school shootingA Tarrant County jury found Timothy George Simpkins, a man accused of shooting three people at Timberview High School in Arlington in 2021 after a fight in a classroom, guilty of attempted capital murder on Thursday.
Closing arguments began at about 8:37 a.m. Thursday with the prosecution telling the jury Simpkins intended to kill Zacchaeus 'Zac' Selby and with no regard for anyone else in the room. Defense attorneys Lesa Pamplin and MarQ Clayton questioned the prosecution's claims that Simpkins was a cold-blooded killer and recast him as a victim who put down a threat.
Attorney Lloyd Whelchel said Simpkins went to school prepared to kill and had a full magazine in his gun and a second full magazine with him. Discussing the difference between the attempted capital murder charge and a capital murder charge, Whelchel said Simpkins was lucky and it came down to the width of a dime.
