LIVE: Parkland Jury Reaches Decision In Nikolas Cruz Death Penalty Trial | NBC News
source
I knew he wouldn't get executed because florida carries out executions and The acting contract waa clear that after the trial and conviction he would be lost in the system and no one would be interested in him so keeping his whereabouts would be easy to cover.
Shaky need to go to the ground..this is wrong.
This trial is giving mental illness a bad name. Mental illness doesn't make you want to carefully plan and execute a horrific mass murder like this. Most mentally ill are non violent by far.
I was shocked when the judge named this jurors full name while reading the verdicts what if this man wanted to stay anonymous wtf?
DEAR LORD PLEASE COMFORT THE BEREAVED AS ONLY YOU CAN! IN THE NAME OF JESUS!
"THEREFORE REJOICE, YE HEAVENS, AND YE THAT DWELL IN THEM. WOE TO THE INHABITERS OF THE EARTH AND OF THE SEA! FOR THE DEVIL IS COME DOWN UNTO YOU, HAVING GREAT WRATH, BECAUSE HE KNOWETH THAT HE HATH BUT A SHORT TIME."
REVELATION 12:12!
THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND!
"AND WHOSOEVER WAS NOT FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE."
REVELATION 20:15!
REPENT AND RECEIVE JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOUR TO HAVE YOUR NAME SECURED IN HIS BOOK OF LIFE!
REPENTANCE IS OUR ONLY HOPE!
TIME IS WINDING UP.
THERE IS NO VACCINE FOR SIN.
Didn’t he attack a correctional officer and try and take his taser gun to shoot him? How is this not taken into consideration?!
He will not be able to harm anyone else. That is the main thing. Nothing will bring their loved ones back. And I believe killing is wrong whoever does it, including the government.
Most criminals fear the death penalty. This jury just created another Parkland shooter!!
He should havechotvthe deathbpenalty
The people get to pay for his meals and meds now. Can I get an Owen Wilson wow?
He's going to wish he was dead when he enters the Florida prison system,
That jury's a bunch of Cowards.
One member of this jury made it possible for mass murders to have excuses for what they do. Heartbreaking.
Case closed
I hope that one jury is ashamed and disgusted of him or herself 🤮🤮
Wow taxpayer money to keep him alive in prison…. The jury really thought he had the right to breathe and be alive even though he massacred kids. People keep saying that he’ll have time to reflect in prison for what he did but do you really think so? Do you really believe he cares or else he wouldn’t of done it in the first place he’s filth and deserves to not be maintained by YOUR TAX MONEY. You are the one now responsible for paying and keeping him alive
1:30:30 Very true. This is not justice!
im glad that he did not get the death penalty beacous it would not be right for killing a young man off like that and killing a man or boy off with mental heath problem it would not be right i rather have him safe and alive jail then killing him i would feel guilty for that,he did not want to do what he had done he pleaded not guity for what he has done what else could of wanted life or death and he was lucky for getting life it be worse i think its not nice getting set to death i know he did something bad but it really would make me feel gulity inside if he did get the death penalty so thank you jury and judge for doing that 🙂 my throughts are with the familes of the victimes and nikolas brother and half sister,i feel sorry for the familes for nt getting what they want but im currlety not a huge fan of death so im sorry for them of be not being on there side but well done for niklolas for staying alive and his brother and sister can vist him in prison if they want to so thats my opion
Amazing video and thank you for breaking it down!! Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy 😊I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $9,000 investment every 21days.
Biblically he would have been stoned to death by victims relatives.
having a death Penalty is about people who die in police in court
If they start executing these school shooters within weeks or months after the shootings instead of delaying it for years and adding more pain to victim’s families, there will be no more school shootings because the shooters will know that their existence will be removed from this world instead of staying alive and coming on the TV years after the incident.
He is enjoying the fame and the parents of the victims are reliving the pain they felt years back when their kids died.
What are they showing mercy for??? Think about your baby getting killed by a psychopath at 16/17/18 years of age. Will you want to see that killer’s face or his existence???
ELECTROCUTE THE SHOOTERS SO THEY WILL THINK MILLION TIMES BEFORE OPENING FIRE!!
many of my friends of down syndrome they do go to curt for all the people of the world Because most people don't know what they are doing
Thank you to that one brave jurer who held out and saved this young man's life. It was a terrible moment and a great loss of young lives and my heart cries with the fathers and mothers of the victims.
Yet I see this young man as also being a victm, a victim of a society that is running so fast towards chattles that it neglects the welfare of its children leaving them to their own misguided conclusions while struggling alone in a cbaotic and cold world filled with parents either struggling to survive or to compete with their neighbors
many names for Nicholas boys names or girls names like Nicky
just like my first name I am powers from Milwaukee Wisconsin Nikolas He's from Parkland is that make sense
Absolutely reprehensible decision by the jury. There is no justice for the victims or their families. This monster will get a lifetime of three meals a day, free health care, a TV, snacks, and what he wanted most: Attention. And one of the worst things of all….Florida taxpayers (including the victim's families) will be paying for his lifetime stay in prison. He deserved to be on death row in fear knowing what was coming. This jury should be ashamed of themselves.
Sounds like life in prison once again, was banking on Florida not being as soft on criminals as other states. Maybe he'll drop a soap bar in prison and wish he were dead.
It’s terrible that this happened, but the jury made the decision.
Fcking jury🤬🤬🤬🤬
I wonder if he's going to end up in Florence supermax next to the Unabomber and the Boston Marathon bomber? Certainly deserving so.
The moment you enter that prison the only thing you'll ever see again outside of that prison is the sky… and that's only for 1 hour a day.
Thank the Lord. Let us pray that this child receives the love and support he needs for rehabilitation. Punishment will only make him worse.
Here’s comes the pro life crowd mad about the decision 💀
If I could choose is going to death penalty and life in prison, I would pick death penalty.
Not surprised when Kim Kardashian is trying to get guilty murderers off death row and liberals and progressives simping for violent criminals if he was black they would of said he was oppressed and he needs to be in a mental institution and get not on death row. Any person who does horrible crimes like this deserves to be on death row no matter who it is and don't deserve any sympathy. It sad to see that society going down hill like this.
y’all forget that life in a max security prison isn’t a life, he will wish he got the death penalty
This Jury's decision is not a surprise! Broward County is full of Democrats and they don't believe in the death penalty. Soft on crime Democrats.. shame shame shame
