The jury recommend life in prison for Nikolas Cruz, who pleaded guilty killing 17 and wounding 17 others in the 2018 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
Jurors' decision comes more than four years after the Valentine’s Day shooting in Parkland, Florida — the deadliest high school shooting in U.S. history — and concludes three months of graphic evidence and wrenching testimony.
Those who previously only appeared in court to deliver victim impact statements crammed into the gallery beside the ones who've attended the proceedings since day one. The smiling face of Scott Beigel, one of Cruz's victims, peered out from the lock screen of Scott's mother's phone. She tapped the screen each time it went dark, looking at him as she awaited the verdict.
Its arrival Thursday morning came as a surprise to some. Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer had urged jurors to take their time deliberating, reminding them Tuesday that a"human life is at stake." Prosecutors and defense attorneys presented their closing arguments Tuesday. The state urged jurors to sentence Cruz to death while his public defenders asked for mercy, insisting the gunman"was doomed" from birth.
