Jurors recently handed down their decision in the sentencing trial of Nikolas Cruz, the man who murdered 17 people, mostly children, in the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in 2018 in Parkland, Florida. They opted against the death penalty, choosing instead to give Cruz life in prison without parole.
The three jurors who voted against the death penalty did so based on “mitigating circumstances” from Cruz’s life.
They made the wrong call.
