Atty. for Bluffs teen involved in fatal fight wants a punishment hearing

The lawyer for a Council Bluffs teen suspended from school following a fight on September 25th that turned deadly, and is being required by the district to attend an alternative school, says he’s asking for a formal hearing before the Council Bluffs School District’s Board of Education. According to Omaha television station KETV, 16-year old Gregary Teer’s attorney made the request Friday, in a letter sent to district officials.

The attorney is asking for a formal hearing before the school board to discuss Teer’s punishment. He claims Teer’s 14th amendment rights for due process were violated. The attorney also said he plans to seek an injunction to have Teer return to class at Abraham Lincoln High School, if they don’t get a formal hearing. He said also they’d be willing to negotiate if there was a way to gradually have Teer turn to the school this year.

The Council Bluffs School District said it’s consulting with its attorney and didn’t have an immediate response. Earlier in the week, school officials said Teer wouldn’t be suspended, and charges of assault were dropped, after video-taped evidence of his fight with 17-year old Dakota Escritt,  indicated Teer was not the aggressor, and was trying to defend himself. Escritt died last weekend from injuries to his skull that occurred when he fell to the floor and struck his head.
