A judge rejected an attempt by Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz's attorneys to bar the parents and other relatives of his 17 victims from testifying before the jury about the trauma the murders have brought to their lives.
Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooter Nikolas Cruz is shown with defense attorney David Wheeler during a hearing at the Broward County Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. on Monday, Nov. 15, 2021. Attorneys for Cruz told a judge Monday that detectives made false statements to get the search warrants allowing them to seize evidence from his cellphone and bedroom, including an argument over whether burgundy and maroon are the same color. FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.
Attorney Tamara Curtis said allowing the parents and others to speak directly to the jury could result in “overly emotional displays” that would violate Cruz's constitutional right to a fair trial. Scherer had already ordered that the parents or others cannot call Cruz such phrases as “animal” or “that thing.”
