A Broward judge will decide this week whether another jury will walk through the crime scene at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where 17 people were murdered on Valentine’s Day 2018.
Circuit Judge Martin Fein listened to arguments Monday morning from defense lawyer Mark Eiglarsh, who represents former Broward Sheriff’s Deputy Scot Peterson and wants a jury to tour the outside of the building. Arguing for the state, prosecutor Steven Klinger said if jurors tour the outside of the building, they should also see the inside.
Peterson is accused of taking cover instead of taking action when gunman Nikolas Cruz opened fire in the freshman building of the Stoneman Douglas campus in Parkland. He’s accused of seven counts of child neglect with great bodily harm, a second-degree felony.
