Overview
- Trinity Shockley, 18, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit murder under a negotiated agreement in Morgan Superior Court.
- The deal lowers an original Level 1 charge to a Level 2 felony and dismisses additional intimidation counts.
- If accepted, the sentence would include 12.5 years in state prison from a 20-year term plus five years of probation.
- Conditions require ongoing mental-health care, a firearm ban, a permanent bar from Morgan County school properties, restrictions on researching school-shooter material, and electronic monitoring of devices.
- The investigation began with an anonymous FBI tip and documented online threats, notebooks, and a mass-shooter collage; a contested sentencing hearing is set for Nov. 24 and the judge must still decide whether to accept the deal.
