The judge overseeing the penalty trial of Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz has overturned her earlier decision to start jury selection anew because of a possible mistake she made.
In the latest confusing turn since jury selection began three weeks ago, Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer overturned her Monday decision to start jury selection anew because of a possible mistake she made. She had said then that she would throw out 243 potential jurors who said they could serve from June to September, the expected length of the trial.
The issue at the core of the dispute arose April 5, the second day of jury selection, over Scherer’s handling of a group of 60 potential jurors. It was the fifth such panel to appear in court. Scherer dismissed them without further questioning, drawing an objection from both prosecutors and Cruz’s attorneys. They wanted to make sure they were not simply trying to avoid jury service. Florida jury candidates are always questioned before dismissal.Scherer tried to have the jurors returned, but all except one had left the courthouse.
Scherer called the defense’s motion “a stretch” and dismissed it, but that’s when she reversed herself.
