Bowie State Murder Trial: Alexis Simpson Not Guilty Of Roommate's Death

The jury has returned a not guilty verdict on all seven charges against Alexis Simpson, the Bowie State University student on trial in the death of her roommate.

Simpson sobbed on the stand earlier Thursday, telling the jury she was trying to defend herself during a fight with Dominique Frazier last year.

“I had to defend myself. I was scared,” she said on the stand.

She said she had been bullied by the much larger Frazier and knew that Frazier owned a knife.
