Nearly nine years after Jessie Simpson was brutally beaten into a coma with a baseball bat in Kamloops, British Columbia, his mother, Susanna Simpson, is still fighting for justice. Despite a court ruling awarding her son $7 million in 2021, the family has yet to see a single cent of that settlement money.
The attacker, Kristopher Teichrieb, pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in connection with the horrific incident. He was sentenced to seven years in prison, but has been out on statutory release since 2021. This has only added to the frustration and pain felt by the Simpson family, who continue to seek closure and financial compensation for the suffering their son endured.
Susanna Simpson was back in court on Monday, determined to fight for what is rightfully owed to her son. The ongoing delays and obstacles in receiving the settlement money have only added to the family’s anguish, as they are left grappling with the physical, emotional, and financial repercussions of the attack.
Global News’ Angela Jung has been following the Simpson family’s story closely, shedding light on their ongoing battle for justice and closure. The fight for settlement money is not just about financial compensation for the family, but about holding the perpetrator accountable and seeking a sense of closure and justice for Jessie Simpson.
As the legal proceedings continue, the Simpson family remains steadfast in their determination to see justice served and to finally receive the settlement money that was awarded to Jessie in 2021. The journey towards closure and healing is far from over for the family, but they continue to persevere in their fight for justice.
