      @@sara31773 The juror Denise Cunha violated her oath, as early in the deliberation and even before considering the aggregators and mitigation she said she's a hard no. Two others followed her when her no would have been enough to ruin justice. It's the super liberal Broward County ruining their community. Any objective person looking at the scale would have said the aggregators outweighed the mitigation and death is the verdict.... ........ ......... ... The killer is 24. He's already imprisoned for 4 years. If we assume he lives until he's 80, that's basically 3.5 years per victim. ...Should have been death if it wasn't for the silly unanimous requirement (which FL Supreme Court said no longer required) in the super liberal county of Broward. I don't want to pay for his food, heating and the costly end of life care old people get in jails. Should have been a death sentence. A judgement of death (even if not administered until some 15 years later) would have been a value judgement on what he did, unlike what happened here, where his life was worth more than all 17 victims. This is a killer who searched on google "good songs to hear while killing people" before he went to that school. And the mitigation case was thoroughly debunked. 👉🏿 The problem is Broward county is a liberal county, and Before 2016, no unanimous decision was required for death sentences in Florida. The Florida Supreme Court initially erred by saying unanimity is required, before reversing it 2020. In between, the legislature amended the law to comply with the court ruling in 2016, but didn't restored the simple majority rule after 2020. I think the legislature will react quickly and restore the simple majority rule or 9-3 or anything. You know what you sign up for when you serve on death penalty jury. If you are weak or tumid, excuse yourself.

    Ordinarily, when you hear the same sentence over and over, it loses its meaning. But with every repeat, every new name... It just hurt so much more. I remember being on the bus on my way to school hearing that there was an active shooting on the radio. Immediately after the breaking news, it was local coverage of a cheerleading competition.
    I'll never get over that. There was no time to process it.. no time to grieve the massive loss of children my age.
    I can only hope this brought the families some amount of closure. :(

Even his own mother, before she died, said he would never be able to live on his own. I'm sure God WILL bless those souls...if they were GOOD kids. As for Nik, God has no wrath for the mentally ill. But I wonder what will happen, come their OWN judgement day, to all the people who failed Nik. Like that school who, instead of placing him in a special school suited or his needs and getting him therapy and medicine kept him there and then simply threw him out when he became too difficult.

Any objective person looking at the scale would have said the aggregators outweighed the mitigation and death is the verdict.... ........ ......... ... The killer is 24. He's already imprisoned for 4 years. If we assume he lives until he's 80, that's basically 3.5 years per victim. ...Should have been death if it wasn't for the silly unanimous requirement (which FL Supreme Court said no longer required) in the super liberal county of Broward. I don't want to pay for his food, heating and the costly end of life care old people get in jails. Should have been a death sentence. A judgement of death (even if not administered until some 15 years later) would have been a value judgement on what he did, unlike what happened here, where his life was worth more than all 17 victims. This is a killer who searched on google "good songs to hear while killing people" before he went to that school. And the mitigation case was thoroughly debunked. 👉🏿 The problem is Broward county is a liberal county, and Before 2016, no unanimous decision was required for death sentences in Florida. The Florida Supreme Court initially erred by saying unanimity is required, before reversing it 2020. In between, the legislature amended the law to comply with the court ruling in 2016, but didn't restored the simple majority rule after 2020. I think the legislature will react quickly and restore the simple majority rule or 9-3 or anything. You know what you sign up for when you serve on death penalty jury.
