Florida man faces trial for a catastrophic school shooting, but before he does, he must face jurors for a battery case. Prosecutors say that’s Parkland School Shooter, 23, on footage rushing a Broward County jail guard in November 2018. Jury selection is scheduled to start Tuesday, Oct. 5 at 9:30 a.m. ET. Opening statements are scheduled for Oct. 18.
The Shooter is the person facing 17 counts of first-degree murder, and 17 counts of attempted first-degree murder for opening fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Broward County, Florida on Valentine’s Day 2018. Then 19, he was a former student there. While awaiting trial at the Broward County Jail, he attacked one of the guards, say, prosecutors. In the Nov. 13, 2018 incident, the guard told him not to drag his sandals on the floor, prosecutors said. The Shooter flipped him off, and, as clear from the video, rushed him and struck him. He initially had the upper hand, but the guard regained control, and The Shooter eventually gave up.
17 people died in the high school shooting: 14-year-old student Alyssa Alhadeff, 35-year-old teacher Scott Beigel, 14-year-old student Martin Duque Anguiano, 17-year-old student Nicholas Dworet, 37-year-old assistant football coach Aaron Feis, 14-year-old student Jaime Guttenberg, 49-year-old athletic director Christopher Hixon, 15-year-old student Luke Hoyer, 14-year-old student Cara Loughran, 14-year-old student Gina Montalto, 17-year-old student Joaquin Oliver, 14-year-old student Alaina Petty, 18-year-old student Meadow Pollack, 17-year-old student Helena Ramsay, 14-year-old student Alexander Schachter, 16-year-old student Carmen Schentrup, and 15-year-old student Peter Wang.
Officials arrested The Shooter shortly after. Interview footage showed him insisting a voice in his head told him to carry out the shooting. He called it the “Demon.”
“Personally, I think you’re using the demon as an excuse,” said Broward County Sheriff’s Detective John Curcio.
The Shooter’s defense has not disputed that he is responsible. They have been trying to save him from the death penalty.

Broward Co. Officers reacted quickly to this situation. They did their job, instead of how Uvalde Law Enforcement responded. They did not know where the shooter was, but they risked their own lives to get the wounded out first and evacuate the other students. I used to live in Broward county and the police in Hallandale Beach got me out of a DV situation involving a knife. They used a taser on the perpetrator and got me to a hospital for care and safety. I will never forget Officer Hatch. He would check on me after I returned home from Hollywood Regional Memorial Hospital. Thanks you guys for rescuing me.

KINDNESS DOES NOT FIX THEM... in fact sociopaths, narcissists, etc. consider being nice to be A SIGN OF WEAKNESS and that makes you an easy to victim in their book. We need to teach eachother about THE SIGNS OF ANTISOCIAL and ABUSIVE PERSONALITY DISORDERED INDIVIDUALS... they are always dangerous to others' wellbeing. Doing harm to get what they want WORKS SO WELL.,.. they have no boundaries... they will do whatever it takes to WIN, get their way or punish other's for getting in their way. They will destroy people emotionally and physically... it is who they are and what they do. They have zero remorse, just more anger when they are challenged by being told NO. they suffer from frustration of not being feared enough and having to work too hard for something... they expect reverence and appeasement.

I also understand everyone is entitled to a fair trial - and therefore every defendant must have a defense team - but, since this defendant confessed to all the crimes he has been charged with - his defense teams objections to relatively minute details, sound ridiculous, unnecessarily argumentative and insulting to all those affected by this terrible crime.

@SponsoredByRitalin 2 года назад

Their objection in the beginning was actually a particularly strong argument. Since this is capital murder with the Death Penalty in play the Prosecution is attempting to establish aggravating factors and the Defense mitigating factors. The Jury will be deliberating on those and determining whether or not he gets the Death Penalty. Granted I have only seen the objection at 27:15 in this footage, but that was a reasonable objection to exclude the testimony. Immaterial evidence following the crime should be excluded. In that particular instance the prosecution is making quite a stretch with the attempt to say that everything following the criminal act was planned (which would be an aggravating factor and something the jury would be considering in their deliberation for the DP). I’m not defending Nikolas by any means, but legally, I do think that the judge should have sustained the objection to that particular objection.

Since 1970, around 650 have died from school shootings. Over 81 million Americans (40%) own guns. My theory is the death count isn’t significant enough for Americans to see the value going through the aggravation of checks. I think 650 kids/teachers just isn’t bad enough to them.

Because gun lovers don’t realize how wide open the laws are, and thus believe ANY law is too demanding because they’re brainwashed by their media. In fact, laws keep passing that make it even easier for anyone to get a gun across many states. Just brainwashed so they can keep making money for the manufacturers.

@nonyab5640 2 года назад

Marie: Maybe because the companies that sell weapons to the Americans don’t want their business to lose billions of dollars. They send people (lobbyists) to make friends with the people in government, who create laws. They spend LOTS of money on these government people to keep them as friends. They also spend time and money telling those 81 million Americans they should be VERY scared if their government outlaws even ONE assault weapon, not just scared but ANGRY that anyone should even SUGGEST they outlaw it. Those 81 million Americans vote for the government people who are friends with the companies that sell the weapons. You will not find a gun company that has any ideas for keeping THEIR weapons out of bad peoples hands. Them: 🤷‍♂️ This is my theory.

@kripsykirby1359 2 года назад

His family probably paid for a lot of protection on his side. So the state matched. Just my idea or opinion. Could be wrong Could just be how big of a case it is. How many witnesses and statements there are

@slaphappybullet 2 года назад

@@kripsykirby1359 wrong. They are public defenders who tried to force him to pay for his own attorneys but a judge ruled against it because Cruz never actually got his inheritance and is being contested in courts by friends of his mother. And by being public defenders, if they don’t do their jobs to the best of their ability, he could later have a case to sue them or call for a new trial.

idk why so many get obsessed with high school and don't realize it's just a stepping stone to your adult life. i remember not enjoying it much but at least I knew it was temporary and only last 4 years. i was rejected from every peer group I was around and was picked on for years just for showing respect to people yet I never got violent or even wanted to. i would bet his stunted mind has grown since then and he realizes the vastness of what he did, at least more than at the time. what is it that causes these kids to think high school is the meaning of life?

I agree DP IS only option. However, the very sad and frustrating fact is we WILL be feeding and housing him for years and years before the deed is done.

It was 9 years before Ted Bundy was executed. Very frustrating.
