Timberview High School shooter Timothy Simpkins will not face a second trial after all. This week, he entered a guilty plea to a new charge in the case. Simpkins is already serving a 12-year sentence for attempted capital murder for a shooting that wounded a teacher and two students at the Mansfield ISD high school in Arlington in 2021. However, the 12-year sentence was far short of what prosecutors had asked for.
And that's how the system is just supposed to work."The DA had pursued the new charges, two of which were related to a shootout at a RaceTrac gas station that happened prior to the shooting at the high school.Simpkins had testified about both incidents at the trial in 2023."I understand what I did was wrong. I’m sorry. I’m truly sorry," he said. "I just ask for another chance."Simpkins had faced four new charges.
