BREAKING NEWS: A Florida jury rejected the death penalty for Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz, recommending life in prison without parole in the attack that killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018.
The jury is sequestered, staying at an undisclosed hotel with no cell phones and no television. Jurors are allowed one phone call a day and that will be monitored by a law enforcement officer.
This part should not be difficult - the listed aggravating circumstances include knowingly creating a great risk of death to numerous people, committing murders that were"especially heinous, atrocious, or cruel" or committed in a"cold, calculated, and premeditated manner." They then must unanimously agree that the aggravating factors warrant consideration of the death penalty.
If they do, the jurors can then recommend a death sentence - but that's not required. A juror can ignore the weighing exercise and vote for life out of mercy for Cruz.
