FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Prosecutors want access to medical and possible mental health records of the former student charged with last year's Florida school massacre, telling a judge Tuesday they are legally entitled to review them as they could be tied to other evidence.
1 / 7School shooting suspect Nikolas Cruz, center, speaks with attorney Gabe Ermine as members of his defense team, from left; David Frankel, Joseph Burke and Diane Cuddihy, confer behind him before a hearing at the Broward Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Tuesday, May 28, 2019.
Assistant State Attorney Justin Griffis told Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer that in social media video posts made almost two weeks before the shooting, a person believed to be Cruz is seen wearing a cast and in one it appears the person had tried to cut it off. In the videos, which were played for Scherer, the person talks about his plans to carry out a massacre at Stoneman Douglas with hopes of killing at least 20 people.
Also, in a social media exchange, a person identifying himself as Cruz told someone he planned to kill an African American as soon as his hand healed, using a racial slur.
