Suspect in shooting to represent himself

Timothy L. “Stoney Boy” Lucious, facing life in prison for a shooting last summer, will act as his own lawyer at his June 24 trial.

Lucious, 39, is charged with six counts of attempted first-degree murder for a July 24 shooting that injured two women.

“I am the only one in my case who cares enough about justice to go to the levels that need to be gone to, to show my innocence,” Lucious wrote in a motion filed May 17.

Superior Court Judge Ellen Kalama Clark approved Lucious’ request Thursday and ordered Lucious’ public defender, Steven Reich, to provide his case material.

The convicted felon faces life in prison under Washington’s three-strikes law.
