FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The deepest wounds of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School don’t show up on surveillance video, crime scene photos or autopsy pictures of the 17 slain.
They are written on the faces of the family they left behind. Those family members continued to tell jurors their stories Tuesday as the penalty phase trial continued in a Broward County courtroom. The jury still has to consider the killer's sentence.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for gunman Nikolas Cruz who pleaded guilty to the murder or attempted murder of 34 people at the school.
