Parkland school shooter avoids the death penalty after jury recommends life in prison

cnn.com/2022/10/13/us/nikolas-cruz-jury-deliberation-thursday/

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.

Cruz pled guilty to premeditated murder last year at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, roughly 30 miles (50 kilometers) north of Fort Lauderdale.

According to jury foreperson Benjamin Thomas, one juror insisted on Cruz not receiving the death punishment because to his mental instability.

Some family members were disappointed when the jury did not recommend the death penalty.

Hate crime charges filed against Buffalo shooting suspect who allegedly killed 10 at supermarket

nbcnews.com/news/us-news/hate-crime-charges-filed-buffalo-shooter-killed-10-supermarket-rcna33709

Quick Glance: A Buffalo supermarket gunman has been charged with federal hate crimes.

Payton S. Gendron, a Buffalo shooting defendant, stands in court on May 19, 2022, accused of killing ten people in a live-streamed grocery shooting in a Black neighborhood of Buffalo, N.Y.

The criminal complaint filed against Payton Gendron on Wednesday coincided with Attorney General Merrick Garland's visit to Buffalo.

Three children of 86-year-old victim Ruth Whitfield claimed they informed Garland during their private conversation that they didn't want him to see the Buffalo massacre "as a singular case."

Three people were injured, one black and two white.

On Monday, a prosecution urged jurors to execute the gunman who killed 17 people in a mass shooting at a Florida high school in 2018.

Satz told the Broward County jury on Monday afternoon that Cruz committed "goal-directed, planned, systematic murder – mass murder – of 14 students, an athletic director, a teacher and a coach"

Satz said Cruz had planned to be a school shooter long before the incident, referring to him as "the defendant" rather than by name.

Satz stated that jurors will be shown video of the crime captured by school cameras.

Quick Glance: US prosecutors will not seek the death penalty for the alleged El Paso Walmart shooter

The reason for the decision was not explained by federal prosecutors in their court filing, but Crusius could still face the death penalty if convicted in state court.

When he was district attorney, Esparza stated that he would seek the death penalty in Crusius' case.

His case will be heard in federal court in January 2024.

Attorney General Merrick Garland announced a moratorium on federal executions in 2021, but he allowed US prosecutors to pursue the death penalty against Saipov while the department reviews Trump administration death penalty procedures.
