Poking society in the eye with a sharp pointy stick
Teah Wimberly sentenced to 25 years:
Teah Wimberly was sentenced to 25 years in prison for the 2008 shooting of classmate Amanda Collette in the halls of Dillard High School in Florida.
Amanda Collete rejected Wimberly’s romantic advances which led to the shooting.
Wimberly’s lawyers used the ‘she had a hard life’ defense.
Wimberly was tried as an adult.
Teah Wimberly, 16, convicted of murdering Dillard High classmate:
16-year-old Teah Wimberly was convicted of the shooting death of her Dillard High friend and classmate Amanda Collette in November of 2008.
As I’ve previously posted Wimebrly shot Amanda after being romantically rejected by Amanda. Wimberly’s lawyer tried to use the bad childhood and bipolar defense but the jury didn’t buy it and convicted Wimberly after three hours of deliberation.
Wimberly was charged as an adult and is facing life in prison. No date has been set for sentencing yet.
Teen to plead insanity in Dillard High fatal shooting:
The attorney for Teah Wimberly filed a motion this past Thursday that he plans to use an insanity defense for his client.
As you’ll recall Wimberly is accused of shooting and killing Amanda Collette in the halls of Dillard High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Allegedly the shooting was because Amanda spurned Wimberly’s romantic advances.
A notice filed Thursday by Wimberly’s lawyer, Larry S. Davis, outlined what the defense contends are several causes of mental illness. They include allegedly being molested by an unnamed family member at age 6, being abandoned several times by her parents and beatings by her parents.
I’m sorry your childhood sucked but Amanda Collette had nothing to do with that and didn’t deserve to be murdered.
