Describing the man who confessed to the mass shooting in Parkland as "cold, calculated, manipulative and deadly," a Broward County prosecutor laid out in horrifying detail the six minutes and 22 seconds it took the gunman to murder 17 people and injure 17 others at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

Jurors will decide whether Cruz, who pleaded guilty in October, will be executed or live the rest of his life in prison without a chance at parole.

    1. Everyone has it rough some more than others that doesn’t give you the right to go around shooting people.

  1. I’m torn between life in prison and the death penalty. We all know he’s terrified of getting sentenced to death. It would be nice to see him endure some of the fear that he caused for all those people he killed. At the same time, he can’t bear the thought of spending the rest of his life in a cage.

    I’m beginning to lean towards life imprisonment. Knowing that he’ll suffer in there every single moment of the rest of his pathetic life is a comforting thought.

    1. @Crispin Fornoff He’s desensitized and without remorse. Not nuts or insane. He was medically cleared and during his interrogations he attempted (badly) to feign insanity.

  2. Gonzales said she bullied him,, no reason to do what he did,, timothy simpkins did same thing because he was bullied,,, walks outta jail nxt day

  3. Matthew 10:28
    Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather be afraid of God, who can destroy both body and soul in hell.

  4. What’s the point even letting him breath any longer ,waste of time. Life in prison? Waste of time,money resources……..
