Fort Lauderdale (United States) (AFP) - A guard who allegedly hid while a mass shooter killed 17 at a Florida high school in 2018 was found not guilty Thursday of charges of neglect and negligence.

On February 14, 2018, then-19-year-old former student Nikolas Cruz walked into the school carrying a semiautomatic rifle and shot dead 14 students and three staff members. Cruz, who was able to buy his powerful weapo...

Miami (AFP) - The gunman who murdered 17 people in a 2018 high school rampage was formally sentenced to life in prison Wednesday in a Florida court, where he was verbally confronted by furious parents. Nikolas Cruz, now 24, avoided the death penalty last month when a jury could not unanimously agree that he deserved capital punishment for his shooting spree at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland. Family members wept and held hands as Broward Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer read out the 17 sentences of first-degree murder, saying after each victim's name that "the court imposes a m...

Fort Lauderdale (United States) (AFP) - A US jury on Thursday rejected the death penalty and backed life imprisonment for Nikolas Cruz, who shot and killed 17 people at a Florida high school, in a sentence that shocked and angered some relatives of the victims. Cruz, 24, wearing a striped sweater and large glasses, stared down expressionless at the defense table as the verdict was read while the parents of several slain children shook their heads in disbelief. The jury deliberated for a full day on Wednesday and briefly on Thursday before deciding that Cruz should receive life in prison with n...

Fort Lauderdale (United States) (AFP) - A US jury on Thursday rejected the death penalty for Nikolas Cruz, who shot and killed 17 people at his former Florida high school, opting instead for life imprisonment without the chance of parole.

Fort Lauderdale (United States) (AFP) - A jury began deliberations on Wednesday over the fate of Nikolas Cruz, who shot and killed 17 people at a Florida high school in 2018, with prosecutors seeking the death penalty. Cruz, now 24, pleaded guilty last year to the Valentine's Day murder of 14 students and three staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, a small city north of Miami. The 12 person jury -- seven men and five women -- must decide between the death penalty, which would require a unanimous vote, and life in prison with no possibility of parole. On Tuesday, prosecutor...

Fort Lauderdale (United States) (AFP) - Nikolas Cruz, who shot and killed 17 people at a Florida high school on Valentine's Day in 2018, planned and carried out a "systematic massacre," a prosecutor arguing for the death penalty said Tuesday. "What he wanted to do, what his plan was, and what he did, was to murder children at school and their caretakers," assistant state attorney Michael Satz said in closing arguments at the sentencing trial of the 24-year-old Cruz. "It was calculated. It was purposeful. And it was a systematic massacre," Satz said. "And he picked Valentine's Day to do it," he...

Washington (AFP) - The defense attorney for Nikolas Cruz, who shot 17 people dead at a Florida school in 2018, told a jury Monday that as the child of an alcoholic birth mother his brain was "broken" and urged them not to sentence him to death. Cruz has pleaded guilty to the mass shooting at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school in Parkland, Florida in 2018, and the jury is deciding only whether he should be executed or receive life in prison. Melisa McNeill, a public defender representing Cruz in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, told jurors that the 23-year-old was born to a "homeless, mentally ...
