The commission, composed of judges, lawyers and citizens, acknowledged that “the worldwide publicity surrounding the case created stress and tension for all participants.”
A voicemail message was left at Scherer’s office Tuesday, and an email seeking comment was sent to the public defender’s office. Paula McMahon, spokesperson for the Broward State Attorney’s Office, said her office didn’t have comment. After sentencing Cruz, 24, to life without parole as required, Scherer left the bench and hugged members of the prosecution and the victims’ families. She told the commission she offered to also hug the defense team.
