  • Florida's top court publicly reprimanded the judge who presided over the trial of Nikolas Cruz, who killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland in 2018, for appearing partial to the prosecution.

  • Her decision to hug members of the prosecution and the victims’ families in the courtroom after sentencing Cruz in November led to her removal from another death penalty case involving a different defendant, Randy Tundidor, in April.

Quick Glance: A Florida jury absolves the Parkland school shooter of the death penalty.
  • 13 October (Reuters) - A Florida jury opted on Thursday to spare Nikolas Cruz, the gunman who killed 17 people at a high school in the city of Parkland in 2018, the death sentence, instead recommending life in prison without the possibility of parole.
