As defense attorneys ask a jury to spare Nikolas Cruz from receiving the death penalty, they claimed Monday that the Parkland shooter’s brain was “poisoned” by his mom’s drinking and drug abuse when she was pregnant.
“In telling you Nik’s story, in telling you the chapters of his life, we will give you reasons for life,” McNeill said. Cruz pleaded guilty in October to 17 counts of murder. Ever since, prosecutors have sought to have Cruz sentenced to death, while the defense has asked for a life sentence without the possibility of parole.” when he went to his former high school and gunned down classmates and teachers—actions they say are worthy of the death penalty.
Woodard testified that her mother abused drugs and alcohol throughout her childhood, which created a hostile environment. This partially excluded Cruz, however, as he was placed up for adoption shortly after his birth in 1998.
