Attorneys for Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz abruptly rested their case, which lead to a heated exchange between lead attorney Melissa McNeill and Judge Elizabeth Scherer, who called the decision, “the most uncalled for, unprofessional way to try a case.” WTVJ’s Tony Pipitone reports.

When you are defending a monster that CLEARLY is guilty, you best strategy is to go after the Judge?
If this guy walks free, then all the family’s victims should claim a lawsuit against the state of Florida. Really have a feeling that this case will get appealed and Cruz will have a free life.
strange how secret disorders only manifest as violence and negative vs kindness and goodness
This is why abortions should always remain legal.
Im not defending the killer but veer towards the defense, cause kinda hate the judge's tone. How they wish to proceed proceed' u just focus on getting thru the days duty's even if it's a parade (out right carnival) verdict is gonna end in one form or another 🤷 with him barrowed away (or am I the only one expecting it)
This judge sounds like a petulant airhead.
Woah. Mistrial. That judge is on her period.
Mass murderers have too many rights in this country.
Bad judge…no cookie.
It got worse as it went on.
😂😂😂 Judge is so mad she got played by a proper lawyer.. Maybe she should stop worrying about covering her face with makeup and worry more about the trial.
Nobody has got the obvious here? Nik realised he could stop it all. He either had a meltdown or just a moment of clarity where he said enough with this I'm tired. It probably came after he heard that last doctor give him the diagnosis he'd been waiting for all his life. That's all anybody needs to know about me. Done. The lawyers decide to take the flak from judge for his decision – for reasons unknown they don't say it's Nik's decision. And then the money he's paying them. Would he rather do something else with it? I think so.
Lawyers make their living, off other people's hardships.
Its a disgusting practice.
Will sentence to death in China.
The balance of truth that the wicked and vile in power don't want you to hear…
Let me break down the balance in the wild that been disrupted. In the wild you have 3 categories of animals. You have the Lions that build and protect. Then you have the wolves that will eat it's own young just to survive. Then you have the sheep which is completely helpless if not protected.
Now at one point the Lions and wolves had about the same numbers and since the Lions was the more dominate species, they controlled the wolves and kept everything balance in the wild. But in the 80's a shift came. Only the wolves were procreating while less and less Lions were being born. With the Lions numbers dwindling and the wolf's population growing the balance in the wild was changing.
By sheer numbers the wolves begin to eliminate the Lions till today there are very few Lions left.
Now what you are seeing is a population explosion of wolves and sheep and wolves in sheep clothing. The warning was put out a long time ago about the destruction of the male Lion, but nobody listens or cared…. now it's too late.
Don't reply without sub. ………………GRIM
I got love for the judge but ain't there f**** video you don't know f**** witnesses case closed videos
Trump's words are that of a God and not of a man – Ecclesiastes 12-13
People don't want to suffer anymore.
The world has come to a point where there are only victims left.
Martyrs are rare.
A martyr, that's something else…
A martyr is an exceptional being.
He survives suffering.
He survives lacking everything.
We burden him with all the evil of the world,
and he transcends himself.
Do you understand that?
He changes form.
We've tried everything.
Even children.
It's proven that women
are more sensitive for
a transfiguration.
Young women.
That's just the way it is.
Acts 12:21,22
Longsheng, 1912.
That women doesn't believe in God.
She tried to steal a chicken.
And she pays a high price.
On the moment the picture was taken,
she's still alive. Look at her eyes.
Jouans-Lussac, 1945.
That woman is a grocer.
She slept with a German.
Back then the French were sensitive.
She had to pay.
She's still alive. Look at her eyes.
Central Hospital of Birmingham, 1960.
The atheistic housekeeper
without a story
was terminally ill
and the morphine had no effect anymore.
Look at her eyes.
This one was beaten up by her husband.
Jealousy…
This one just spent nine hours
in the wreckage of her car.
This young leukemia patient
is dying. The pains gnawing.
This woman has a rare disease.
She suffered for nine hours.
Look at their eyes. Look.
All of them. Do you hear me?
They were all alive when these pictures were taken.
So tell me again
that the idea of a martyr
is an invention of
the religious world!
Daniel 6:24
Revelations 14:9-11
We all know that hurt people, hurt people. That's why you don't see Buddhist monks going on killing sprees, bcs they're full of love and compassion. So, them trying to portray him as the "victim" is futile, bcs we already know hurt people, hurt people.
The same school shooting that right-wingers have called a hoax.
He contributes nothing to society. Put a needle in his arm.
I don't care. Electric chair.
Oh no a feminist lesbian Latino !
This is why America is falling and crashing
Abortion can have a good effect on society in some cases.
DEATH PENALTY
Bro. He killed multiple people. On video. Give him the death sentence. Smh
Why are any of the parents even there?
They have relevance in the trial
The public defender is nuts, the judge is crazy………..man, we're sooooo screwed.
He shouldn't be held accountable for killing democrats.
Interesting defense. I do not believe it will go over with the jurors tho
I'd take a lifetime sentence with that judge.
POLICE (People Traitors) have NO LAWFUL DUTY to PROTECT our "CHILDREN" or "HUMAN LIFE": (Police are Income producing agents for "State Profit"!)
The U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled in (Castlerock vs Gonzales): Police serve and protect the corporate "States for Profit", police do not serve honorable taxpayers!
Qualified Immunity (Untouchable) must be abolished (Removed) from "profit-producing people traitors", "the police", for equal and fair accountability!
– Turtle-Truth (Share the Turtle-Truth!)
Ah yes the theatrics when having cameras in the courtroom.
The downside of the mass murderer not having a good lawyer is…
That victim card ain't gonna work here. No amount of mental issues is going to convince me that you are somehow not to blame for killing a bunch of people.
everyone is a victim now days
They should have called the witnesses that saw Nick walking around the school unarmed while the shooting was happening. Surprised David Hogg didn't ride his bike from Harvard to attend the trial.
despicable killer with a despicable Republican lawyer
That's terrible because he can get it reversed for IAC this is not the way it's supposed to go he can stay alive longer as they appeal to death penalty forever if he wins here he wins life without parole but if he gets the death penalty now that this lawyer has been called out on the record he can appeal this forever and get another trial on this! It could be that she's doing that on purpose-because she really believes he has a mental problem and maybe he does in this way she's giving him that safeguard of an extra decade of appeals because she's that crazy and incompetent and decided not to call witnesses-50 something witnesses
GTFOHWTB!!!……He still knew right from wrong.
Does anyone have the Judge's onlyfans?
Too bad such a cutiepie as a kid turned to a monster. Just sad and TRAGIC
I still don't fully understand 🙃
Violent criminals should be surgically castrated and sent to do forced manual labor for the rest of their lives…
