Quick Glance: Florida court reprimands judge for actions in Parkland school shooting trial
  • 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.

  • The decision by the Florida Supreme Court came after the Judicial Qualifications Commission concluded that Judge Elizabeth Scherer violated judicial conduct rules during last year's trial.

  • 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.

BREAKING: The jury has reached a decision in Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz's death penalty case. https://abcn.ws/3yEF8FP

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.
