      That's not what they were insinuating. The victims families were putting guilt on the defenses team for even representing a murder who took lives of children. The defendants families even proposed a rhetorical question of "what would you do if this happened to your children" or something along those lines. The defense team waited until the proper time, and rightfully asked that the statements from the families don't include the lawyers personal lives A.K.A their family members, but more specifically their children.
      When the judge dismissed the notion, that was the first line of attack. She insinuated the comment wasn't made, and how her observation skills are more elite than the lawyers and how she "would of heard it", giving the impression the lawyers were making it up or being over-dramatic. But here's the kicker that the unprofessional Judge knew, It's all transcribed and documented. They could of took the extra 5 minutes, looked back and saw that those comments were indeed made, and respectfully asked for innocent peoples family to not be included. When the Defendant who was rightfully offended by the judges dismissal, simply re-iterated what was said to them, the Judge lost her mind and said "DONT MENTION MY CHILDREN!"...... but that's what the Lawyers were requesting too.....
      This was one of the most emotional decisions I have seen from an alleged professional Judge. She looked like a goofy, she was 100% in the wrong, and I bet she regrets how she handled the situation, deep down or on surface.

I would love to research that and find out the reason why that state chose that as all the cases I know it was allowed as the U.S. doesn't look at criminals too fondly and thinks they deserve to have whatever angry emotions the victims families are feeling yelled in their face as long as they don't physically attack them. The families didn't always do it of course, but I don't personally know a case where they haven't allowed a family member to make an emotional victim impact statement to address the killer so I'd love to have reference for cases where it wasn't allowed for research if you know where this is the case if you please!

She could have talked to them in chambers about the fact she though they were passively being disrespectful. The biggest thing was she literally let people dog whistle, what some would consider threats, at the defense, (what does Karma mean?), bringing up their children etc and then berated them for complaining. They asked for a side bar, and she instead forced them to say things out loud which only infuriated the families more. When you combine this with the fact jurors felt threatened with her ignoring them several times, its' pretty clear she deserves sanctions

He is going to get three squares, be able to watch day time TV, be able to exercise, get some of the best health care. I think which ever jurors decide on life should really think long and hard on how much pain and suffering they cause not only to these 34 families but to the tax payer of Florida and there future children. They obviously was thinking about how it made them feel instead of the community. Very self absorbed people. Bleeding harts of America is what is driving us to the ground. It will be the end of us. This was a shut and closed case for the death penalty. How many people do you need to murder before it is enough.

    Oh my goodness I watched parts of this case and it's completely heartbreaking for these beautiful families. The defense was a total disgrace to the justice system in this case just apoorling what they acted like. May you all find some peace. God bless you all. Also the judge in this was just graceful and so professional in everything she did. 🇬🇧

      The POS Public Defnders saw this as a selfish opportunity to enhance their own careers and totally ginored that these families are devastated by being murdered at school.
      Gunned down at school!!! And these lawyers accepted the case & actually tried to defend him beyond just the basic....
      Disgusting!

      Apparently the lawyer that was laughing and tried to be sly flipping the bird is being investigated by the bar and could lose her license. So that’s one karma ball rolling. The rest were trying to get the judge to stop the parents from giving impact statements towards the team probably because their guilt was starting to grow w how they treated the parents and the pain THEY endured. Their statements were impacting them now.

    And he is. He can't stay on protection forever.
    He'll soon get bored of that.
    As soon as he reaches Gen Pop, that's him done.
    The number of people hurt, there has to be a family friend in there or something.
    When I was inside, the prison officers used to tell a few of us why the new person was in.
    Then they'd open up the doors in the morning and 5 people will be waiting to storm his cell and either beat tf out of him, or worse.

      Depending on where vmhe ends up - and I'll admit I don't know much about the US system, I'm UK - but eventually, after he'd served 30 odd years, i expect he'd be downgraded to a lower category.

      I was just thinking because of his attitude, he might (after 20 years!) Want some of the freedoms offered by not being on protection.
      A wider range of jobs available.
      A wider range of potential friends.
      A wider range of potential life enders!
      I'm not ever sure they get TV in US cells?
      It might be different on protection.
      Protection in the UK was the Block which was also the place people were put as a punishment.
      No TV, no table, seat, bed etc during the day.
      In the UK, every cell has a TV, a kettle, a toilet, somewhere to sit, somewhere to write or eat.
      I'm just wondering if they have a separate prison or regime for NONCES?
      And don't forget. People go on protection for all sorts.
      Debtors go on protection.
      So there are many different people on the protection wing, I don't think he'll be safe there either. 🤷🏻‍♂️
