For a third time, the Cameron County District Attorney's Office had asked for more time to pursue criminal charges against 11-year-old Timothy Murray.
Wearing a blue suit and carrying a single rose in his hand, 11-year-old Timothy Murray emerged from the Cameron County juvenile court earlier today to loud cheers from supporters gathered outside.
“If they refile a suit against Timothy, even though the judge has said that she finds no probable cause in either of the cases, it’s simply retaliation.”she was relieved by the judge’s decision today, but still wary. According to Barrera, District Attorney Luis Saenz can still refile a petition for the first misdemeanor charge within the next two years and a second charge for felony assault within the next five years.
The family feels as if their lives have been put on hold. Timothy said he finishes his online classes by noon these days and then plays video games. He’s studying geometry in math and soil erosion in science, but he no longer gets to participate in the extracurricular activities he enjoyed before—science fairs, chess competitions, and accelerated academic programs after school. That’s what he misses the most.
Rincon agrees that what happened to Timothy is not an isolated incident. She said more parents need to speak up for change to happen.
