FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The guilt of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooter was never really in question. His fate is.
Broward Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer will join prosecutors and defense lawyers Monday to start the process of picking jurors to decide that fate, answering the biggest remaining question about the tragedy: Will confessed murderer Nikolas Cruz be sentenced to life in prison or death?
Twelve jurors will be tasked with making that decision. Finding them could take two months or more.
