FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The victims of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School began coming to life Monday in the words, memories and anguish of those they left behind.
Jurors in the case have heard, in excruciating detail, about how they died. On Monday, they started hearing about how they lived, and about what the South Florida community lost when the confessed Parkland gunman took their lives on Feb. 14, 2018.
The gunman did not look up from the defense table while the witnesses testified about the victims. The witnesses, as has been their habit for more than four years, did not utter his name.
