  1. What kind of justice is this? So now this is going to cost taxpayers around $100,000/year to keep this filth housed and fed in jail.

  2. Always playing mental health card. Now tax money pays to keep him in prison.

  3. This jury is absolutely disgusting and should be ashamed of themselves, They clearly don’t understand the amount of suffering these families are going through, you’re gonna let a monster live in a cell with free meals and what not and waste our tax dollars for the rest of his life, what a disgrace our country has become!!!

  4. as a Mom and Grandma..I CANT EXPRESS MY HEARTBREAK FOR ALL WHO LOVE THE ONES KILLED AND THOSE SHOT
    WHO SURVIVED…💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔😢😢😢😢

  5. 17. Times death penalty

  6. Nicholas cruz you did it buddy! all you need is a “restorative justice” judge to overturn your life sentence. CONGRATULATIONS!

  7. Sue the justice system for over 10 billion dollars to people that their family members got injured because what that would have just done Sue these devil workers in our justice system

  8. He had more rights than your local pot head during that trial… Frustrating.

  9. The justice system is Illuminati and a Freeman to keep killing people of God's given rights

  10. Ironic that prison justice is our only hope…

    However they will probably protect him there too.

  11. Yes bleeding heart Christians, it's much better this man receive free food, free drinks, free clothes, a free bed, free medical and dental attention when needed, free entertainment, and a free education rather than stooping to his level. Meanwhile his victims get free dirt and free worms. Seems like a fair trade right Bible thumpers?

  12. God does not punish for mercy.

  13. Release the jurors name I guarantee you it will be leaked you got a lot of white people mad they going to tell your name

  14. It takes conviction to stand alone against 11 other jurors, and really, the whole country.

  15. I rather have him get death penalty so he doesn’t take up space and our tax money invested to the state/government.

  16. Definitely a lone Christian juror.

  17. Families wanted vengeance not justice.

  18. You're not sending the proper message. Why do you want this to happen again?

  19. It's almost like the Jury had sympathy for this human trash. Now FL can pay for him to rot in prison lol

  20. The guy looks like a teenager. I guarantee you one of the jurors saw him and couldnt send a kid to death row.

  21. Hopefully someone else will give him a proper sentence and we will kick Florida and Texas out of our great country.
