Parkland school shooting: Why the gunman was spared the death penalty:
bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-63237156
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.
