@@dailysmiles due process. Don’t wanna leave gaps or make mistakes that causes a mistrial and let this animal back out on the streets. Murderers walk free sometimes because the prosecutor mishandled evidence or missed some small detail
The U.S. criminal justice system is a slow joke, that's why. Had I been in charge, this chump would have been strung up in town square within a week of the massacre.
@@josegarza7719 I think they already found him guilty of premeditation so now they’re going to trial to see if he will get the death penalty Jodi Arias went through that separate trial for 7 years before they came to a verdict it takes forever to sentence someone to death once they are found guilty
@@yunnokendra yeah and if they offered a plea deal for him to get life without parole there wouldn’t have been a trial and none of them would’ve had to relive this
She didn’t just point at him, she POINTED him out with as much confidence and strength so no one could question it. She has probably waited to point him out in court since 2018 and she did it so strongly. 🤟🏻👏🏻
I wouldn’t be able to recall little details like that even on my most memorable days in high school. That just shows how ingrained this trauma is. I’m so sorry to all the victims that have to relive this now.
Whomever calls the witnesses likely will get several chances to go through the questions with said witness. Not saying that she wouldn't otherwise be able to remember things but it certainly helps when you get questioned about it several times.
Different forms of memory. I have really good visual memory so I see memory in videos/images but I don’t have photographic memory. Where I could see a piece of paper and be able to recall every single thing that was on it.
You can tell she’ll never forget that day. Every detail is so engrained in her memory. What a brave soul I’m so proud of her. God bless her on her healing journey
She’s so pretty - Nik she remembered you enough to ask about your school plans man , pretty girls asking you questions after not seeing you for years cmon 😭
What was she traumatized by? She was nowhere near gunfire. She heard a fire alarm. Got in line and left class. Then unknowingly said a few words to the gunman which at the time was no danger to her.
@@BOOGiNS her school was targeted by a school shooter….. she ran into the shooter who was blending in with students and made conversation with her….. how would you not be traumatized??? have you ever heard of survivors guilt??
@@BOOGiNS more than likely she knew some of the 17 students that were killed. Came face to face with someone she knew that turned out to be the killer. She is very young faced with survivors remorse. She cant come to terms with why those kids and not me. Terrified her as im sure it did others. And some feel like you do but she is allowed to be scared and remorseful without ridicule from anyone.
@@wwewomendevotee8508 Id be traumatized if the shooter pointed a gun at me, or if I heard shots or saw people being killed. Standing near a shooter without knowing they’re the shooter wouldn’t be traumatizing because I wouldn’t be aware that they’re the shooter. And if I found out afterward, I would just be surprised, but that’s about it.
I love that she graduated in criminal Justice and psychology. It’s another type of trauma to have unknowingly spoken to a killer right after the incident
You guys still talk like that but it's bc of your community. And y'all just rant out and make these ppl popular at the end. Just be happy that the man did it was guilty at the end. Since I believe in reincarnation he would be a better man next but still will have to suffer his karma. He can be a better person now too if yalld don't ruin hie mind more by bringing suspects. your country never made made an evil person good. But other countries did. Even though they go to jail the victims take care of it. This might be a mass murder but killing ppl is common with those ppl. Doesn't matter how many ppl they killed they can be better ppl. I have experience and I have done that. I'm proud. And the ppl who can do it are better than gods. It's shame that ppl wants to take the revenge y'all are no different from them? And do you think the victims died need him to be killed or bmake him a better person? If you think those victims are sinners choose revenge then. No one can decide to kill others not even the court but ppl do to decrease crimes but it increases instead lol
I know this girl she was my roommate in college, she’s one of the sweetest people I’ve ever encountered and I cannot believe how she’s retained that kindness over what she’s endured. I’m shocked and amazed at how brave she is for standing up there and being able to speak so professionally, I don’t think many in her position could retain their emotions while on that stand. Truly one of a kind.
Her testimony struck a cord more so than the others. The fact she knew this monster over the yrs, and even unknowingly spoke to him kindly the day of, is enough to cause nightmares. God bless her journey in criminal justice 🥺🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Yes, he was a victim of bullying. What he did was horrible, regardless, but I feel sorry for him because he had complained about bullying, and nobody tried to help him in that regard. Also, he had a pretty horrible life in general. He was born to a heroin drug addict mother that gave him away his adoptive father died before he really got a chance to know him, his adoptive mother died a year before the shooting and his brother got forced into a mental hospital, so basically he had not family he could turn to when things got tough. His girlfriend dumped him for another guy, he got bullied (and beaten up) a lot, he got kicked out of school, and finally after his mother died he basically didn’t have a home anymore. He had to move in with a bunch of friends/relatives before he got kicked out of each of them one by one. So, in summary, he had practically no family (everyone he was related to was either deceased, incarcerated, or institutionalized), no friends, few romantic prospects, no home, and pretty much nothing else. There were reports that when his mother died, pretty much nobody even came to the funeral except him, his brother and a couple others. He had horrible life leading up to the shooting, and because of the shooting, he has pretty much guaranteed himself a horrible future as well. If he gets sentenced to life in prison, then he’ll have to spend the rest of his life in bars.
@nooraqueen2716 His circumstances do not excuse what he has done. Many have even worse stories to tell, and would never have done what he did. I do not have pity for him, but I will pray for his Salvation. Only Jesus could save a destructive wrench like this. Pray for him, but most importantly, pray the real victims, in this massacre.. an absolute tragedy, pray they will heal from losing their children & loved ones. .
@@nooraqueen2716 he doesn't deserve sympathy i was bullied for my weight all through out middle school and freshman year and what did i do I took away their reason to bully me i would never do this nothing gives you the right to kill innocents i will say again NOTHING
@@landingtrouties she was still in fear that day and ultimately knows it's him that did this...so she like anyone there, gets to point him out which would be a good feeling for anyone emotionally attached to that crime.
She was already struggling before taking the stand, but still put herself up there to relive that day in brutal detail for the record. I can't imagine what it's like to live with survivor's trauma. I wish her grace on her healing journey.
She isn't a survivor. She wasn't even in the same building as the shooter and everyone else who got slaughtered. The slaughtered happen in the 1200 building. She just happened to bump into the shooter on the way out. If she was a survivor how come she don't know who the shooter was and talking to the shooter on the way out. Lmao.
Gosh, I'm so proud of her for going into criminal justice and psychology. This event changed her life forever and hopefully in some ways for good. All of the kids and teachers I've seen testify have obvious trauma and PTSD. I hope they've all been receiving help and continue to do so for as long as they need to. It might be a lifetime process.
Sadly, Jon Stewart has to fight with Congress to help pay medical bills for first responders of 9/11. The government probably has a timeline of how much therapy people need!
All they needed from 911 was a war and patriot act. After that the people were no longer needed. They are still going after 2A so they will keep these people in their pocket. They are still to this day looking out for Sandyhook parents. However once they get what they want they break contacts at best. At worst: ...

I could almost hear her mother saying: "Be strong baby, your doing great!" She was brave and I'm so glad she studies criminal justice and psychology. She will overcome this tragedy. I pray God blesses and heals her.
Damn, you can tell she was so nervous and traumatised by this event but still was able to go up there and testify. I wouldn’t want to speak about the event because I’d literally crying instead of talking.
I was thinking the poor girl was actively having a panic attack and still found the strength to testify, RIP all those lost and may the survivors find a way to overcome the trauma they now have
Not everyone goes to Heaven, I don't get why people don't get that. Almost all of humanity end up in Hell Fire while few people enter Heaven. To enter Heaven, you must receive Jesus Christ into your life as your Lord and personal saviour. If not, why would you enter His home?
Cruz's supporters have said how he was bullied and ostracized by his peers, yet this young woman, not having seen him since middle school, reached out to make small talk with him in the middle of an unfolding emergency. How sad that Nikolas Cruz chose not to see the goodness in his life.
He was ostracized because he was the bully. He stalked and harassed girls & ex girlfriends & who they chose to date & all their friends. He was also awful to his mother too, to the point that she considered signing over parental rights. Make no mistake, this kid was in no way bullied. People just didn’t want to be around him cause of how awful he was. Anyone who supports Cruz is a supporter & member of the NRA, who try to humanize Cruz in an attempt to justify or rationalize what he did, all so we won’t take a look at gun laws, or the lack of them thereof.
You can tell her mom feels for her and is going through that pain with her. The only way to get through these things is with loving support. I hope all survivors have mental health resources abound ❤️
Watching her mother watch her daughter testify trying her best to stay strong for her daughter, my heart really goes out to her and everyone-parents, friends, victims, teachers. The look on the mothers face sums up all the fears a parent has to go thru today not knowing if their child’s school will be next. But I could almost feel this mothers pain & although her child wasn’t a direct victim, a victim none the less, I can’t even begin to feel what all the students, their parents & the teacher’s spouses & their children are now living through. 4 years on & still no control good enough in place. How many bright lives have to end?
Yes her mother's pain was was so evident. As a 32 yr old mother of 3 ( son 15 & 12 yr old twin girls) I felt her pain through this screen!! I can't even begin to fathom the emotions she has. The father looked so enraged and livid, but it's so understandable. Watching his daughter relive this horrific day has to be infuriating. Peace to all involved!
This was beautifully written, and your right there is still no control over the shootings. They continually happen and lives are still being taken. I wonder if there will ever be an end to this💔
If you have read anything about the columbine kids now adults you would understand this isn’t going to suddenly not haunt them as the years go on. Stop being so dense.
@ToBabyWithLove you took this the wrong way. This person is saying that no one should have this amount of trauma from there high school years. Those years should be filled with good memories and academic success, not worrying about whether you’re going to be shot to death and living with trauma/survivors guilt
Wow I can’t believe how strong of a person she is. I cried as soon as she mentioned she just graduated from criminal justice & psychology. That goes to show that she is still healing but didn’t let that break her at all. 😭🙏
She was probably one of the people who treated him as an actual person. She'll do well in any of the fields she chooses to work in, either a psychologist or criminal justice lawyer etc. God bless her and whatever path she chooses. 🙏 ❤️✌️
She was in line with him how strange , also heard old video fresh of the time of crime , student saying he was coming the down the stair case and hearing gun shot on the other side of the school building , strange how the police didn't dare move alway from their car park outside te school .
@@heidygomez8274 But she didn't say he was carrying his gun when she talked to him. I read that when Nikolas decide it was enough, he left his gun and left the place mingling with the students that were going outside. Maybe what the girl said happened at that moment.
So heartbreaking to see the continued trauma she has to live with. What a strong young lady. She looks just like her mama. Sending prayers and healing to her, the other survivors and their families.
She doesn’t seem very strong to me. I’m sure she’s a nice person, though. Luckily, she’s a girl, so it’s normal and understandable for her to be so weak.
@@chriswebster24 Wth is your problem? Can you not understand trauma? I guess you've never been through a life or death experience in your life. She's not weak. She's not hiding behind a computer screen. She's speaking out in truth about unknowingly coming face-to-face with the freaking *murderer* , someone she'd known since middle school. I can imagine looking back, she probably thought he could've opened fire again, right there, and been one of the dead. No one, male or female, is "weak" for having human emotions.
@@urban_fox4658 Don’t have one. Yes. Ok. I disagree. I never said she was hiding behind a computer screen. She’s “speaking out” about the stuff she witnessed, because she’s a witness in court, obviously. Ok. That’s neat. I also don’t think that anyone is weak for having human emotions. I never said anyone was weak for that. She looks like she’s terrified to me. Seems to be a nervous wreck. I don’t blame her for that. I would think it’s normal for a young girl in her position to look timid and scared, just like she does. She looks just the way I’d expect her to look in her situation. She certainly doesn’t look strong or brave or fearless, by any stretch of the imagination. It would be odd if she did. I’m glad she survived, and she’s able to testify in court, but it didn’t take any great strength or courage for her to survive, or to show up in court and answer questions. Just like anyone else in her position, I’m sure, she would’ve rather not had to do that, but she did it, anyway, just like anyone else would have done. Weak little girls have to testify in court all the time, unfortunately. That doesn’t make her situation any less difficult, of course, but it doesn’t make her strong, courageous, or heroic, either. It would be silly to pretend like she’s any of those things. If she was so strong, then she probably wouldn’t be so terrified, but she looks like she’s scared to death, just like any normal, young little girl would be. She seems to have gotten pretty lucky, because it could’ve been a lot worse for her. I’m sure glad it wasn’t. The good Lord must have been looking out for her. She seems like a nice person, and it’s fortunate that she wasn’t hurt, but there’s no reason to act like she’s strong, just because she didn’t get shot at, and she went up and cried on the witness stand, just like a normal little girl. She doesn’t look like a body builder or anything to me. I’d be shocked if she could bench press her own body weight, which isn’t very much, or do a single pull up. No one in their right mind would honestly think that that scared little girl is strong, and you’re either dishonest, or seriously crazy, if you say she is. You know I’m right, or you’re not very bright, obviously. Facts don’t care about your feelings. Deal with it.
he’s certainly a prime example of what a true psychopath is. calm, callous, zero remorse or empathy. he treats the taking of lives like it’s just another daytime activity.
@Jessica V he killed 17 people, recorded a video on his cellphone beforehand saying what he was going to do and that we’d all “know his name”, then tried to pretend to be schizophrenic in his interrogation to garner sympathy points. he is not sad that he did it, he’s sad he has to face the consequences. there’s a big difference.
@@Omnihilo I was moreso referring to how he acted after the shooting when he talked to old friends/other students like nothing was wrong. what he’s pulling in this video is just a pathetic act of fake remorse.
She's still struggling with the trauma/ptsd!!! I just couldn't imagine!!! So heartbreaking. Kids should be worried about NOTHING but being a kid and living their best childhood lives. Unfortunately, living a worry free kid/teenager life option was abruptly snatched from them!!!!!
All these witnesses are so brave for coming foward and giving their testimony that aweful day. To have tried to move forward with your life from this tragic day and having to relive it again. Their courage to come and speak for those who are now not able to. ❤️
They are brave. Incredibly brave. I feel blessed but spoiled after listening to these young adults who at the time were teenagers what they went through. The fear, anxiety, & not knowing if it’s a drill or a real active shooter. Just an ocean of emotions all once hitting them. This is not something a child should have to put through. Which is why is say I feel spoiled that I’ve never had to go through that. I’m 37 yrs old and if I could trade places w one victim who lives this day over n’ over, I would.
Wow. She's a rockstar. Though she is obviously still grieving and healing from this traumatic event, but she's taking it into her own hands. God bless her.
5:13: Oh God...this is so...I can't believe this. This monster was so calm and collected after what he did...that he was discussing 'college' with a student he almost killed???
I could see her conviction when she stood up strong and tall, and pointed a mass murder of innocent children out in that courtroom. I have NEVER thought the death penalty was ok, but this dude doesn’t deserve to see the light of day or friendly faces ever again in my opinion.
I’m in JROTC and it disgusts me to hear that a JORTC/ROTC student or supporter shot up a school. I feel so bad to this girl, the teachers, staff, and all parents involved. They were put into a situation that could have led down a dark and terrible path. No human being deservedly be put in that situation. I hope all students and parents feel better knowing the criminal has been prosecuted.
i was the commander of my jrotc unit in high school and it’s disheartening hearing that someone in rotc could do something like this, especially when it is so much about family and caring for the community
@@urmom-wd1mt "they were put into a situation that could have led down a dark and terrible path" - people died, were injuried and people were traumatized. It did lead to a dark and terrible path.
Pretty sure he's on the spectrum. He also is being charged for committing a mass shooting. How exactly is he supposed to react? Would you perfer if he wasn't showing any reaction at all?
@@BigWheel. I would prefer he have to look at the people on the stand and listen tapes of the pain and suffering he inflicted on the people he Murdered
Omg!!! When she stood I busted out in tears but immediately felt a jolt of such pride for her to be able to stand up & point of the shooter! The conviction of this poor young woman & all the other victims & survivors I meant it truly just God Bless Them!
It’s absolutely impressive how brave the witnesses are for going up on the stand & reliving this horrible day. I’m the same age as some of them, some are even younger than me & I can’t imagine having to go through what they did & have the courage to do this. It’s also good to see them doing well for themselves in spite of that day
I agree! I was really shocked and proud for them, how well all the witnesses kept it together. As a mother, I can’t imagine how traumatizing this had to have been for these young ppl and their families. God be with this country, we cannot keep doing this.
some of them never saw anything & all they did was run. its amazingly odd what just that can do to your brain & heart. literally not knowing & then later finding out you had words with the very person who wreaked such havoc on many lives.
I was a senior when this happened I remember being scared to go to school after this. I’m beyond proud of these survivors, their courage is incredible. The determination in the way she stood up and pointed right at him 👏🏼I love my generation
I was a freshmen right after Columbine. A lot of schools then, well mine, took precautions as tucking your shirts or having clear backpacks, and putting them in your lockers during school along w purses any girls carried. I agree, the generation coming up y’all have to be a lot stronger bc this is happening more and more. It could happen in the most rural little country town, like where I went. It’s happening all too much. When schools have drills in case of active shooters on campus, does this not say anything to the politicians? I am proud of this coming up generation, they come together after tragedy, they’re there for one another, and will be for years to come. They face this head on and will not let this beat them. God bless to all the students, to anyone who has been through a mass shooting or has had a family member/friend stolen from your life bc of one coward.
@@cudagrl716 I was in high school when columbine happened and it was scary at the time. I grew up in a small rural country town where everyone had a hunting rifle and gun rack in their truck. After columbine you couldn't even have nail clippers on your person.
I think I was maybe in 7th grade when this happened, and I also didn’t want to attend school because people usually see things like this and in the same way get encouraged to repeat the same thing. I also think after that another shooting had occurred and now in this year or maybe last the whole situation with the kids getting killed really just made me not trust going to school or not feel safe at all. I just can’t even imagine how angry I would’ve been if I were one of the parents who lost their children after sending them to school only to see them grow and gain an education. All these lost lives taken for no reason I just really want to see this world better itself and it’s people.
State of mind is key. He had a state of mind that day to kill and to hear all of that and to continue over and over. So the sounds did not deter him. Anger. Hate. Revenge. These powerful emotions block out our ability to care, empathize, feel for, love other people. So when those bad emotions fade away and we regain out ability to care, hearing the same sounds cause us emotional pain. This is why a murderer can feel remorse soon after the act. The bad emotion leaves and the mind returns. However, hate can burn away the emotion and harden the minor into a psychopathy, or a numb indifference to the life of others. Parents need to pay attention and get help when their teen boy shows anger and hate before he acts. Parents will be held accountable for their minor's criminal behavior. It needs to be talked out.
The parents of the Columbine shooters saw the anger in their sons and got them professional help, and it still happened. Youth violence is a lot more complicated than parents just paying attention.
You sound like a killer. No evidence he shot anyone,though. You say he had the mindset to kill, but didn’t really kill and If he did kill he didn’t act like he was out to kill based on how many kids in the school and how many he “shot”. I’m sure you helped him.
I ABSOLUTELY AGREE 💯with you!!!! WE NEED TO START HOLDING THESE PARENTS/GUARDIANS ACCOUNTABLE ALSO!! SO MANY, ARE NOT DOING THEIR JOB NOWADAYS!! It’s PATHETIC..😤
His parents are dead and were dead before he could get help. Not one member of his extended family reached out to take care of him. Let that sink in. No one in the large school noticed him. Looks like he has some issues if he cannot stand the replay of a cell phone video. Not one of the lawyers reached out to him. How will he survive in a maximum security prison? Most defendants just sit there and don’t flinch. Hmm - Also, no reason to point him out he’s pled guilty. Such a sad world at times. Prayers for those in court during this time.
This young woman has been physically traumatized by this event. She can't even speak about it without choking the whole time. It's like reliving the worst disaster of your life.
What a tremendous young woman, pushing herself through the grief through college and pursuing grad school with such passion and dedication. May she carry on and have a beautiful life. She should be very proud of herself for testifying.
@@Aigentcy you have got to be kidding me. Do you honestly think that his behavior in court is respectful? What’s the matter with you? What do I want him to do? Hmmm…let’s think…he could 1. Stop drawing 2. Face the victims 3. Watch the testimonies 4. Take his hands off his ears 5. Cry or show remorse somehow 6. Ask for forgiveness/apologize 7. Stop being a brat and man up I have seen many other trials where the criminals showed no remorse. This is one of them, but they had not killed 17 children cold blooded and then went to subway and then McDonald’s to grab bite like he did.
The fact she stood up and pointed with such confidence and her head held high was so powerful. She and all the other witnesses who got up and testified are incredible. I don't know if I could do that if put in the circumstances.
She spoke so well and clearly and relayed her experience with such bravery. I assume it was her parents sitting there nodding and being so supportive. What an impressive young woman. I hope she is so proud of her testimony. I hope she has a good life going forward.
Straight selfish he had the nerve to say Hi to her like a normal friendly conversation. That day he didn’t care that his innocent middle school pals would get caught up in the shooting. Only thought about himself
Not a man. Just a scrawny looking thing. Even now sitting behind the defense table. He’s hunched over like a baby bat. Less manly looking than the kids he killed so it was a perfect costume for a high school killer to go unnoticed.
You can see the dark bags under her eyes, the quiver in her voice, this has really damaged her. I hope she gets the help she needs and can heal from this tragedy. 🙏
I mentioned in a previous comment, she is of Italian descent, and has naturally inherited dark circles. I'm half Italian, my mother is from Italy. And it occurs often in several other ethnicities.
Jesus Christ, just to see someone who you went to school with, possibly was a friend, and check on them and see if they are ok, ask them about their future plans, only to hear that he was the one to cause such distraught and sorrow in other people you went to school with or knew....I feel so sorry for this girl for giving even a ounce of compassion for this snake
This poor girl, and her mother doing her best to stay strong for her baby girl. They are both so brave. They should have never had to go through any of this.
Just watched two videos of testimonies and I admire this girl and the other girl for pursuing college and going back into a school environment after an event like this and the others that have happened and unfortunately will happen again. It would be easy to quit and give up in their position but they are still living and fighting. Admire that and I hope they know that their bravery admist this adversity is being used to fuel others that may be lost. Keep going students of Stonemen Douglas High✊🏽
@@tgs5725 some ppl just have a natural curvature at their last finger bone (idk wats the formal term for it) that makes their finger tips point slightly upwards, it's not her entire finger pointing up but just that last segment connected to the tip
This young gal is an inspiration and brought tears to my eyes. She is so strong. May God bless her and her family. 🙏💜 And everyone who has been affected by the horrible tragedy…
This is completely different from social anxiety (I hope you're not using the term SA to refer to nerves when speaking in public and the like, that's normal - SA is a mental disorder). This is a scarred woman reliving her trauma.
@@leminjapan No, I'm discussing SA as someone who has it. SA is not a mental disorder either unless it is accompanied by something else and/or is very severe. Sorry, you do not know what you're writing and this is definitely not COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Do better, democrat! People are really REALLY TIRED of you know-it-all - KNOW NOTHINGS. Thanks! Try learning about something before running your fingertips.
@@leminjapan This is NOT COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM SOCIAL ANXIETY. What do you think social anxiety is??? 😂 And there are different degrees of social anxiety which would MAJORLY EFFECT YOU SPEAKING IN PUBLIC. HELLO??? 🤣😂🤣😂 Did you just feel the need to argue so wrote the goofiest comment not even knowing what you're writing about? Look up social anxiety!
@@darkknights4703 social anxiety is a condition that affects a person's daily life in many situations. This is a normal reaction from a normal person with trauma and possibly ptsd talking about a traumatic memory. Not even close to the same thing. This is coming from someone with social anxiety.
I kind of doubt he thought he would go free. Probably just didn't feel like saying he was the shooter and would spend his life in prison. He did say "somewhere in Florida". If he does take classes, that might just be where he will take them too. (Prisoners do study in prison.)
@@eveh6708 can’t show you the videos, since those are hidden away and locked up by the government.... you can find small clips they want you to see and believe what they tell you to believe. Fire Alarm started 1min after he he got there, 911 calls don’t have any fire alarm sirens🧐. While he was shooting people behind locked classroom doors people where evacuating the building🤔 but somehow he continued and was found an hour later face down unconscious a few blocks from the school.
@@lastlime3792 ok , I'll have a search to see what I can find . Also you know there was a student that bumped into him before he started the shooting and told the guy to get out of here because he knew him . Would he be making up that it was him ect ? Just curious to what you think
This girl 💔 so strong to do this I’ve been in a witness stand b4 after an abduction as a 13yr old I know her exact reaction may she lead from now a beautiful happy healing life xx with love from Australia 🇦🇺
This girl is such a brave and strong young lady. The fact that she went up there and told her story despite how terrified she looks and sounds is honourable. She and the other students should get medals for their courage and bravery!
This poor girl is traumatized just being in the same room with that monster. I feel so bad for every single one of them that has to face this awful devil in court
Post traumatic stress is all too real, folks. It’s all too familiar in my life, 9 years ago I was robbed at gunpoint and had my house shot up… I’ve changed for the worst a lot, almost 27 and haven’t entered school yet. It can definitely take its toll.
When I saw her mom, I want to reach out and give her a big hug. It's so messed up how he can just sit there with no emotions at all. I feel bad for all of the victims and their families.
These poor kids man... its so sad having to see them relive it all. Super proud of her and all the others brave enough to be face to face with such evil and speak about that day. I pray they all can find peace and healing.
Oh, sweetheart, you're so brave. The strength with which she pointed to Cruz made me tear up. Even the tension in her finger showed the grit and determination she had a at that moment. She wanted to leave no doubt. Good job, girl.
You can hear the absolute terror in her voice... the tremble when she speaks is gut wrenching... My heart cries for all of the victims and their families that have to go through such tragedy.. If anyone deserves to die...it's this p.o.s
May all those who are not here with us today due to these school shootings rest in peace. Sending all the love and healing and all the justice in the world. May they find the strength to heal. Stay strong brave fighters 🥺❤️
Right. And he's already pleaded guilty so why put all these people through this bullcrap again. Judge should just sentence him to death and be done meanwhile all these other people it will take a lifetime to live a normal life, if ever.
@@АннаЧубаръ I mean he literally pleaded guilty so idk why he even needs to go through a trial. He admitted that he did it why do tax payers need to pay for such useless trial who knows.
@@danielperezii8562 by the way this looks it doesn’t really seem like he has a very competent counsel. The judge got annoyed with them on how much they were objecting to evidence. So I wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to pull that later on even if that door is closed.
Bless her heart ❤ You can tell she was fighting the urge to cry before she even walked in that courtroom. Proud of her for doing this. These kids are reliving a horrific trauma to make sure that justice gets served. I hope some of them find it cathartic and healing. I hope they've all found peace.
