The prosecutor seeking to sentence Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz to death let the facts speak for themselves as he presented his case over the last three weeks.
of the three-story building where it happened, bloodstains and Valentine’s Day cards still clinging to the floors.Lead prosecutor Mike Satz, the 80-year-old former Broward County state attorney, then rested his case against the defendant who murderedat Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. 14, 2018.
“He did a fantastic job,” said David S. Weinstein, a Miami criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor. “He has built a case that I think has given the jury more than enough to find these aggravating factors and was not over-the-top at all.” Cruz, 23, pleaded guilty in October to 17 counts of first-degree murder; the trial is only to decide whether the former Stoneman Douglas student is sentenced to death or life without parole. Once they begin deliberating, likely several weeks from now, the jury will take separate votes for each victim. For each death sentence, the jury must be unanimous or the sentence for that victim is life.
The defense will argue, “If you send him to death, you are ignoring all of that and that is just wrong,” Jarvis said.
