Jury Gives Parkland School Shooter Nikolas Cruz Life Sentence
After Thursday's hearing ended, victim family members expressed their disappointment in the jury's decision.
The massacre is the deadliest mass shooting that has ever gone to trial in the U.S. Nine other people in the U.S. who fatally shot at least 17 people died during or immediately after their attacks by suicide or police gunfire. The suspect in the 2019 massacre of 23 at an El Paso, Texas, Walmart is awaiting trial.
In the closing arguments of the death penalty trial for Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz, Prosecutor Mike Satz concludes with the mental state of shooter, including his diagnosis by mental health professionals The abrupt resting of their case led to a tense exchange between lead attorney Melisa McNeill and Scherer, who called the decision without warning to her or the prosecution"the most uncalled for, unprofessional way to try a case."
"You’ve been insulting me the entire trial,” Scherer barked at McNeill. “Arguing with me, storming out, coming late intentionally if you don’t like my rulings. So, quite frankly, this has been long overdue. So please be seated."
