After rejecting prosecutors' calls for the death penalty, a Florida jury has agreed upon a sentencing of life in prison with no possibility for parole for Parkland shooter, Nikolas Cruz.
The official sentencing, handed down by Broward Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer on Wednesday, reflects each of the 17 counts of murder which Cruz has pleaded guilty to in light of the February 14, 2018 shooting which took place at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. In addition, Scherer "imposed a sentence of life in prison with a minimum of 20 years to serve on 14 of the 17 counts of attempted murder, and life without the possibility of parole for the remaining three counts of attempted murder. All counts are to run consecutively," according to CNN.
