A former sheriff's deputy is seen weeping in the dock as he is acquitted for his alleged inaction during the 2018 Parkland school shooting in which 17 kids were slaughtered.

Scot Peterson wept upon hearing the verdict in a Florida court before he celebrated in a group hug with his family and friends.

Among other charges, he had been charged with felony child neglect charges related to failing to confront the evil shooter, Nikolas Cruz, during the attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, which resulted in the death of 17 pupils.
