Poor lady having to be involved in this crap. She doesn’t deserve this =(
she didnt have to testify and had years to decide if not so she's fine. this is good for her closure.
yeah you're not forced to but she probably wanted to after hearing what this animal did.
@@RPGkanon especially good for her closure because now she can contribute to bringing this malefactor to justice.
@@flmcmil is there a reason you think that him being incarcerated on the tax payers dime since the day of the shooting isnt already "justice"?
@@krotchlickmeugh627 in fact I think it’s punishment to the taxpayer…and no, being locked up for less than 5 years for murdering multiple children is not justice
She looks like a kind soul, bless her.
Ahh the “bless her” comment lol
@@youngiso4839 she’s just some random lady lol
@@dragonflarefrog1424 your just a random commenter bury yourself
She's like a Disney character. Too cute to be real.
@@dragonflarefrog1424 🤨
And for the people that didn't think driving Ubers were dangerous enough. You never know who's getting into your vehicle, and you're with that person alone. Scary.
thats been the same for taxi's/cab's for years though.
but also vice versa, I'm always scared going into an uber
@@feeya1788 or any form of public transport, especially as a teenage girl. you never know whats gonna happen. i must always have one of my brothers, father, boyfriend, or guy friend with me. the people in this world are so evil and sneaky.
And for the thousands of taxi drivers
@@portia4101 🤡🐷🦫
Important testimony to show that he was of sound mind and not talking to so-called demons. He was alert to tell her to drive to the location in the way that he wanted. Premeditation is strengthened by her testimony.
Excellent point. Thank you!
Good point. Never thought of that.
So much of this footage is so good for showing how aware he was both before and after the shooting. No demons or voices to be seen
I think that this whole thing was preventable! Why when he was a child and had those problems? Like... Threatening to kill his brother, and doing the stuff that was mentioned, the FBI didn't take any measure to prevent this? Didn't investigate potential bullying, and harassment? But right now they are going backward and re-checking all those things again! Serious waste of tax-payers money!
@@CthRage8946 the FBI should have thrown this waste of space in prison long ago. Don't try to blame this on bullying
I feel so bad for this lady. She had nothing to do with the school shooting. She was just doing her job.
@ djevan 41598 What’s there to feel bad about? No one is accusing her of anything. She needs to take time out of her day to be there, but she’s simply testifying as a witness for the State.
@@slaws2279 he means its that feeling of leading a sheep back to the fields not realizing it's a wolf in sheep's skin.
@ Experimental Firearms That makes sense.
She could've stopped him if she just asked him to play guitar
Grammy came to court and got the job done tho amirite?
Such an adorable lady, it's unfortunate that she was put between such a horrific situation.
Adorable? She’s thick as mince! She can’t tell the difference between a rifle bag and musical instrument bag? Clue, one is the shape of a rifle ffs.
Imagine how the victims felt.
youre lazy
@@zombywoof1015 tf does that have anything to do with this woman? Even if this monster didn’t catch a uber, he still would’ve been there at the school.
@@zombywoof1015 she doesn't know who nikolas cruz is, if she did and know what he is up to, she will not going to drive him there and she will call police for it, she is just doing her job
She did really well despite the language barrier. I can tell her laughing was due to her struggle with language barrier , my mom does the same. Really wish they provided a translator.
I think so too
That was my first thought: where's the translator.
Exactly my grandma does the same thing English is her 2nd language and didn't learn until she was 20yo. Now she is 88yo and she still does the laugh for words she can't think of.
@@carlosvalentino1 I feel like it’s an anxiety reaction towards the fear of saying something wrong in another language and not wanting to get embarrassed so they just get shy and laugh or smile as a coping mechanism but not even realize they’re doing it. Bless their hearts.
agreeed!
To this beautiful little lady. Please don't let this burden you. It's not your fault. I'm sorry you went through this
"To this beautiful little lady."🤣
I second your statement.
@@internetcensure5849 boss we don’t even need to see your pic to know you’re balding
I’m pretty sure she knows it’s not her fault.
@@mattbehan417 I'm sure. But many people feel guilty for events that were not their fault
I think people do not understand the sentencing phase versus the initial trial. This is not to find him guilty. That has been established. To earn the maximum sentence, they need to thoroughly present everything so there is no doubt he deserves the maximum sentence which is death. That is why they are "dragging it out". This phase is going to be painfully in depth.
I mean he killed 17 kids and plead guilty. It should be a quick conversation for the jury and vote for the punishment you’d like.
Thank you for explaining this!!
@@alexd2555 there has to be a clear explanation of how to choose the penalty. this information is given to give a foundation for that decision
I say let it be. Whatever it takes to put him down. Im a firm believer in forgivness. If he repents to the Lord the Lord is faithful to forgive him. But as far as mankinds concern
To show other school shooters or gen pop as a whole this is and will be unacceptable. He needs to go by lethal injection. He knew what he was doing and he manifested satans will kill steal destroy. He chose his actions and needs to own up to them.
@Alex D
It's a good thing that trials are lengthy, since there's a person's liberty and, potentially, life at stake.
Guilty or not, they're still a person who deserves to be treated with every protection of the law.
Shes honestly really lucky the creep didnt kill her after she dropped him off to the school. There must be so much guilt on this womans heart for just trying to do her job and then hearing what happened smh
Yes. She has absolutely nothing to feel guilty about, but you can tell she is the type of person who will put some blame on herself.
@@jtstevenson81 yeah i used to do uber and lyft i hope she knows its not her fault and she was just doing her job i couldnt imagine having a gunman in my car tho being in her shoes she probably wishes alot of outcomes could of happened the “what ifs” probably plagues her mind at night. Like what if she crashed the car or what if she checked his bag. It always sucks when you have guilt for something that isn’t your fault
Jesus died for your sins and rose again put your faith in him to be saved,
His business was with the school, luckily not with her
@Jesse Stevenson
Good people tend to do that, even though it really sucks for them.
Only anti-social people don't think about how their actions affect others whatsoever.
This poor woman. Praise you lady for holding composure under such pressure.
Yeah she barely looked nervous!
Whut
I read some of the comments and a lot of people said that she could have also been a victim. I didn’t think about that but it’s true. I’m so happy she was spared. I’m glad she testifying. Her laughing is nervous laughter because of the situation she’s in. Testifying in court is hard and for some people laughter is a nervous tick. She had no idea of what he was planning. She seems like a sweet grandmother person who wouldn’t hurt anyone.
Poor, sweet lady just trying to make some extra money and ends up driving a mass murderer to the location of the crime. These horrors affect so many people. Not only the actual murder victims but many others. Very sad. None of this is her fault in any way.
I just think she drives because she enjoys it and likes to socialize. She is living off of her investments as she says. Many ppl do this after retirement to keep active.
Thanks for letting us know the Uber driver wasn’t at fault in any way. We were so confused about that 🙄
@@yomomsaho4071 if you think that you should be sitting right next to him you absolute sicko
@@yomomsaho4071what’s wrong with you
She is an accessory.
Can only imagine this has weighed on her conscious since that day
I hope she never blamed herself. She was just doing her job. She had no idea. I’m sure if she had any idea, she would’ve absolutely refused and let the authorities know
Why would she blame herself when so many are blaming it on Cruz instead of his handlers
It's only natural for people to feel guilt in such circumstances. However, she'll likely have plenty of friends and family telling her that she has no blame in the matter. Only the low-life of society would TROLL her about it.
I totally agree 👍
Why would she blame herself ? Does she look likes she’s blaming herself 🙄🙄🙄
@@simmiesim321 I think it's natural in such extreme situations to question one's part in the chain of events.
I was super annoyed when she was being asked how the app works when picking someone up. The process courts go through to get information required so much patience.
Fr
that’s the part I’m at and I agree. 🙄
Duh... To prove without doubt she is really an uber driver.. More like a test of credibility?
I get it, but the process an attorney has to go through just to establish credibility in a case like this seems completely beside the point. That combined with the language barrier makes this portion painfully cringy to watch.
It’s sounds archaic. Like we know how Uber and taxis work all you have to do is ask her when she was an Uber driver and if she picked him up and compare that the evidence they have.
Oh she’s so precious 😩 God bless this woman. So sweet. She doesn’t deserve this
Deserve what? She's fine. All she's doing is confirming that he was indeed of sound mind. That's important because he tried to pull the insanity route and his lawyers can't play off that now
@@TheMilkMan8008 ohhh relax you know what I meant 😂
The Uber lady sounds so sweet. God bless her and I’m glad she was safe.
She must be the best mom/grandma to ever having in life have I bet. :)
I wish they would have given her a translator. I'm sure she would have given a deeper explanation of what occurred. Like my mom she struggles to describe situation with out repeating herself
Translator? Where is she from?
Most likely they did but she declined. I have to ask Individuals if they want a translation and alot say no.
@@Chloe-sb5ww Just seems older and of some background as English doesn't seem primary.
Her English and replies were fine. I didn’t see any issue.
Or just learn English lol
The court should have given her a translator to help her explain better everything she clearly has some trouble especially in this case I can’t image how nervous she must feel to have to be involved in this when all she was doing was her job my grandmother is Mexican and she always needs my help to explain and do some things so I feel for her. She did the best she could but I feel it would have been better and easier for her with a translator or someone to help her out a bit on things she didn’t understand. She is so brave my heart goes out to her.
She was an Uber driver, not an eye witness to the actual murder. You've ever taken an Uber ride? Describing it is like describing how what you did when taking a nap, which is hardly nothing.
They’re basically asking her to describe in detail how to make a peanut butter and jelly lol
I thought she spoke English fine. She just had an accent lol
It really angers me to see they did not provide her a translator to help her feel a little more comfortable you can tell how uncomfortable she feels in a courtroom knowing she’s going to be facing language issues
@@MsTMarie83 maybe she didn't want one? They prob did offer her one, maybe she declined?! She doesn't seem to have issues comprehending, she just has an accent!
Why didn’t they get this poor sweet woman a translator so she didn’t have to struggle to find words? They’d likely have gotten much more detailed explanations had they considered the language barrier.
I hope she doesn’t have any guilt. She seems very nice.
How much more relevant details did you think they needed to hear? The exact limitations of an Uber Pool ride compared to X? All she did was give a ride to a murderer. It's not like she made love with the guy.
@@GoLakers3900 ok the last part was unnecessary
@@GoLakers3900 * Your comment - It's not like she made love with the guy is a grotesque parallel, in my opinion. Obviously her testimony is relevant. It shows his state of mind to his destination to murder. You have to cover all your bases in a trial because you don't want any reason to come back on appeal. imho
@@yomomsaho4071 weirdo..
@@GoLakers3900 😂😂
It’s so sad seeing testimonies from all the workers he dragged into his crime I hope they know it is not their fault a single bit
Can you imagine if an Uber driver questioned every bag a passenger brought with them?
@Monroe Grady cemantics
I don’t think they saying she should’ve
@@Pointlessparodys that one girl and that lady and the guy surely looked like they where thinking it
I'm an uber driver... and this would be extremely impractical and it would upset a lot of passengers if the driver asked what was in their bags.
@Monroe Grady impractical.
She looks like such a sweet lady I feel so terrible that she was put through this
Wasnt a real shooting
She will make it
I feel bad that Cruz ruined his childhood and youth. An orphan and suffered from bullying, if they stood by him before, all this might not happen
@@satisfyinglife4751 it was a fake shooting
@@satisfyinglife4751 what about other people that were orphans, molested and rejected but chose to make something of their lives? I don't understand
Its crazy to me Nik suddenly is acting like a scared frightened child when he had no problem and even enjoyed murdering all of his peers.
He’s remorseful and unfortunately it’s too late. He deserves the death penalty
He put all his thoughts into that one day of glory (for him). Didn't think about the day after, or the rest of his life.
If it hadn’t been her Uber, it would’ve been someone else’s Uber
I hope she doesn’t feel guilty
or a bus, train, bicycle, by foot. The transport is irrelevant
@@diamonddog4708 transportation is not necessarily completely irrelevant because had it been someone more aware of differences they could have knew a guitar bag don’t look like a gun bag and stop something before it started. While this is by far not her fault in the slightest way the transportation a person like this takes could be key to stopping something if people say something when they see something..
@@diamonddog4708 The transport and the transporter is important! These small details prove he was sane prior to the crime.
@@UndefinedByBeauty Ok, the transportER is irrelevant. If it hadn't been her it would have been somebody else. I know why they're doing it, it shows probable premeditation and a sound organised mind.
No way should she feel an iota of guilt.
@@diamonddog4708 When I say the transporter is important, I mean, that the person (no matter who) can be an eyewitness.
I don’t mean it under the pretense that it’s their fault because they’re doing their job. lol
Poor lady, couldn't imagine the guilt she may carry - if by some miracle you're reading this... that animal is to blame, not you in any way. May your life be blessed from this day forth
I don't think so. I think she knows it wasn't her fault .

I am so, so sorry. They were mostly babies. No one should feel arrogant enough to believe they have the right to prevent another from living. F*ck Cruz.
Imagine just how many Uber drives unknowingly drive criminals to commit acts such as these
There's no way for Uber to know this. There is no way for a bus driver to know this, there's no way for a train driver to know this, there is now way for a Public transportation worker to know this. They're everywhere and so are we
Made me think of the limo driver in the OJ Simpson case. Luckily his mother worked as prosecutor , and ensured he was prepared to be questioned
Thats why I believe they should be able to see if a weapon comes into their car. Especially a kid with a soft guitar case carrying a military weapon. He couldn’t get into a concert with that.
Now everyone knows how uber works thanks to this guy making her explain her job over and over.
So annoying omg
She is such a beautiful woman. God bless her having to be a part of this 😞
Gorgeous....has aged gracefully 😍
My college classmate and later coworker, was working at a hardware store in Austin and she checked out a guy who murdered a woman and him and his gf chopped her up with the tools he bought from her. So many ppl are affected in crimes that aren’t thought about, like this lady. Such a range of victims
Edit for autocorrect
Oh my
Wow…you just NEVER know…
Poor lady in the wrong place and the wrong time. The pain she must feel now knowing she drove the shooter to the school. God bless her for coming forward and testifying. 😢😢😢
I drove a taxi graveyard shift for three years and you never know who is sitting next to you in your vehicle. You will discover the dark side of the community that you reside in, guaranteed. This is an extreme example of that. Poor women.
Cant ever trust anyone
Very true.They come out after midnight.Another world,it’s crazy.
There’s clearly a slight language barrier here. However her testimony is key bc the jury needs to hear her opinion of his mind frame. Was he erratic, was he calm, was he seemingly responding to any demons??? “How did u know where to go?” REALLY?!? It was 2018, we all have GPS on our phones by 2018 especially someone like a driver, so that’s just redundant. U
Huh???
I agree with you. I don't think some of those questions were coming out the right way. Which was causing her to answer them in a way that was probably confusing the jury.
I know he asked her how she knew where to go like 10 times
I think the answer he was looking for was "The passenger types in the destination in the app when they request a ride" or something along those lines to show premeditation - he knew exactly where he was going and how to get there (as evidenced by him telling her not to follow GPS instructions). Unfortunately I think the intention didn't come through well which confused her.
Redundant means when it was established as in questioned before. These details are needed to establish them for the record. They are not redundant.
“My phone is in my bag.”
“It pops out.”
She’s sweet lol.

She seems like such a kind soul
Our judicial system has become a daycare center for the criminally insane.
Sickening and seems to be!
This is heartbreaking to see. This sweet lady reminds me a little bit of my mother or someone that would be related to me. She was just trying to make ends meat and had no idea. Echoing so many sentiments here, I really hope she doesn't blame herself or feel overwhelming guilt. If anything, we should praise her that she's testifying despite the language barrier.
She’s a beautiful seemingly pleasant little elderly lady and it’s a shame that she was unknowingly placed in the middle of this massacre by this senseless murderer.
@@tinkletink1403 Are you??? Go seek attention elsewhere troll .
At first this sounded pointless, but now I see it takes away any level of insanity to add to a mitigating factor.
this poor lady. it’s not like she knew, or could have stopped him. i don’t understand the point of putting her on the stand .
To try and prove he was in a sound state of mind prior to the event and not talking about demons as he claimed
Think a little harder
She drove him to the school and the last person to see him before lol why wouldn’t they? It’s about his state of mind. He was trying to act crazy. His only defense is insanity and it’s not going to work
You’re kidding right?
For all we know she probably thought he was a student or someone picking up their sibling or someone who volunteered there.
Lawyers are so annoying! Making this cute little grandma explain how Uber works when they should already know how it works. It's like they've been living under a rock for the past 10 years.
It’s for the record, nothing is assumed in the court of law they have to.
I hope she doesn’t harbor any guilt. It’s not her fault
I like how she clarified “that’s how I feel”.
I don't get how he can sit there hands free no cuffs. Cuff him up.17 people and 17 injured. He attacked a guard also.
hes a stick figure who doesnt have a military style assault rifle anymore, wheres the harm?
@@devinbroadhurst1534 So you're comfortable sitting next to crazy that might strangle you, bite you hard enough to rip off some flesh? Skinny guys can amaze you with strength. Never judge nor assume their physical appearance.
He's on medication. Besides so many officers there, they could grab him in 2 seconds if needed.
@@TheYizuman if he tried to bite me i’d just pick him up and throw him on the ground? he weighs 160 max and even if he was fighting for his life he isn’t going anywhere. also that’s assuming that he gets to that bath-salt state of mind somehow without drugs
17 people is death or life without parole. Anything under is a shame for any state.
Exactly what this trial is about, death penalty or life in prison
That’s what they’re determining… he has already plead guilty. This is a sentencing trial to determine if death or life in prison without parole is appropriate. That’s what the jurors are deciding.
We should bring back the electric chair specially for school shooters. This is getting out of hand.
I also think it should be illegal for the media to address his name when covering the case. We shouldn’t be giving him any recognition which is what he wants .
My heart breaks for this women and everyone involved. She must have so much internal guilt for this man's actions.
I’m not sure why they’re sometimes having trouble understanding her. I’m Australian, never travelled so I’m certainly not used to accents or different languages & I understand every word she’s saying perfectly… but everyone’s different I guess.
Americans are bullies.
Americans always pretend they do not understand whenever they hear an accent
People from the US always exaggerate to "not understand" when someone is talking with a foreign accent.
I'm from England and understood her perfectly
Because Americans hear a different accent and their brains shut down. They don't even try.
It is ridiculous how N Cruz is looking at documents and making notes - whatever for ? He is guilty end of story - he should not only sit there but have the courage and the balls to look at the people he made their life a misery instead of holding his head down. May he rot in jail.
He seem slow...I hope he gets life
Let him share a cell with Jodi Arias.
The video of him saying what he would do step by step is more then enough to establish that this was premeditated.
Clear and convincing testimony of premeditation, sound mind, and seeking attention for the act by choosing Uber pool
What is Uber Pool?
How’s that seeking attention? Was anyone else in the pool with him?
@@meredithyoung186 they played audio of him basically saying he wants to be the next famous school shooter. Everything he has done leading up to the murders were known because he was seeking attention so everyone would know it is him. He didn’t do anything discretely. He planned all of this to be “famous”
She's a jolly person! One of those persons you see being interviewed about a tragedy with a smile on their face and maybe even chuckling.
Really sad that this innocent old lady has to deal with the guilt of knowing she took the shooter to the school.
I'm continually impressed with this attorney, very well done sir.
Way better than Vasquez
Why is the court wasting this lady's time???...So pointless 😒
Poor lady bro
@Monroe Grady how is she careless, she was doing her job
@Monroe Grady you donkey shut up
Ridiculous level of questioning regarding the workings of Uber. Everyone is aware that everything is done through the driver's phone. No wonder this foregone conclusion of a Trial is going to take 4 months.
Every detail small or big has to be discussed. It's the way it's done.
it's not really a trial cause he plead guilty it is the sentencing hearing. The details are important because he is claiming insanity and the prosecutor is trying to prove that it was premeditated and he knew exactly what he was doing. This testimony proves he was of sound mind, not talking to the "voices" he claims he was, and was calculated and cold in what he did. Death penalty is deserved.
How do you know it’s 4 months?
The judge said 4 months and agree some of this questioning is ridiculous about how Uber works I know it’s the way it’s done but doesn’t make it nonsense nonetheless
It's a relevant detail that explains how they met. While it does seem trivial, because it is, they still need to say it so that it's on record. That way if someone is reviewing the case in 50 years after Uber has folded they can understand what's going on.
Ridiculous....she has nothing to do with it!! They are just dragging out now.
It's the witness's choice to testify. It's for their own closure not to drag it out.
I mean she was the ride there, so well she may not have anything to do with the murders themselves she was how he got there and the last person to have contact with him BEFORE the shooting occurred, they're trying to show how he was acting and thinking before he shot up the school.
Duhh
Jfc she chose to 1 and 2 they’re proving he was in sound mind not talking to demons and insane like he tried claiming. It’s extremely relevant
Wrong Regina Ross. 🙄
I am a driver, and she references the phone because things are dispatched through the phone, without much control on our end. It should actually not be true, though, that the ride will still appear in detail on her phone. It comes through the phone, but after 1-2 years the driver can no longer access the details. They waste so much time here asking this poor woman how a ride-share service works. It comes through the phone. End of story.
Right. I was thinking the same.
Maybe she took a screenshot of it?
@@skyefirenails I highly doubt. Why would she in that moment?
I don't like the way she is being spoken to. They are acting like she's speaking an entirely different language just because she has a bit of an accent.
The female lawyer who comes in the end and asks the Uber Driver if she thought the shooter was 'anxious & nervous'... is this an attempt to prove that he was, in fact, not in a sound state of mind at the time?
I don't know if the prosecution or the defense asked. If it was the prosecutor, she might have been trying to show he was cold blooded. If the defense, I'd think what you suggested,
If you pay attention, you’d know it’s his defense.
They took advantage of the lady by asking that question…
@@kylespencer1169 well obviously the defense is going to ask hard questions to a prosecution witness, that's how courts work genius
@@jimmybags6598 Well, duh… I meant the Defense took advantage by asking a tricky question when they clearly see there’s a language barrier. That’s a horrible thing to do. Genius.
I hope she can continue her life joyfully after this tragic event.
@BuildGUY yup, she seems fine. She answered everything with ease and seemed shocked by the questions because of hoe easy the answer was.
@BuildGUY mhmm

I'm sure this was very traumatic for her... knowing you dropped off a mass murderer right before the killings would give me nightmares for a long time.

How do young people get hold of weapons of war? These tragedies keep happening again & again. So sad!
He was 18 at the time which is legal age to purchase guns. His mother, Linda, actually went with him to the gun store on his first visit, then he went back on his own and made the purchase. His mother was aware of the purchase. Very sad. Some states are raising age to 21.

It’s when a person feels guilty for being a survivor in a deadly situation while others died. Does their guilt make them actually guilty of any crime or wrong doing? No. It’s a human response to traumatic situations. Even though this woman was not at fault for anything that went on on the day of the shooting, she could have felt guilt simply knowing the person she drove went on to shoot up
A school. Even though that was not her fault and she had no way of knowing that would happen.
@@brooke4608 Yeah I know what survivor's guilt is. That usually happens if you've been involved in a traumatic event, fatal accident or in combat. This women dropped the freak off and got on with her day oblivious to the horror that lay ahead. Where did I say she doesn't feel guilty btw? She certainly SHOULDN'T
Geez what a total waste of time these questions are ridiculous
Poor lady, she was just trying to make some money on the side and I’m sure she’ll always remember that she drove him there. I hope she doesn’t feel guilty because she drove him
I'm sure she felt sad but not guilt, she was dragged into this situation but was outside of it. The fault is solely NK's. She might feel relief to be alive, though.
Poor woman. Being a part of this must weigh heavy on her mind
Why is he asking her how Uber works?
Crazy how many psychopaths we walk by on the street everyday without ever knowing
The lady probably didn’t even know what was going on. She probably thought he was just a student and needed to go to school. In no way should she feel any guilt. May god be with her.
Lol i always expected the Uber driver to be a young guy in his mid 20s
Bless her innocent soul she hasn't a clue how to approach this whole horrific situation.
Can you imagine being that Uber diver finding out that your customer you just dropped off just committed a mass shooting at the place you dropped them off.
Lol so the gunman took a Uber and brought his guns? Wow never realized they said this
they killin this lady with uber questions
She has delightful eyes.
They should of had an interpreter for her.
I agree, it'd be easier for her to express how she feels. I'm sure it was hard for her to answer all those questions with limited expression. I hope she's doing well, hate to see someone doing their job dragged into such a disturbing case.
Order that freak to stop drawing and pay attention. This isn't supposed to be easy
I thought so too. But I dont think hes drawing. Writing to his lawyers
They did kinda judge took away the colored pencils
I heard kn another channel it’s a jury tactic for him to appear more childish to avoid the death penalty
That with his oversized glasses and sweater
Why are they wasting all this money having all these people testifying against him this guy is going to jail regardless he's going to do life regardless this whole case is a waste of time just throw him away and throw away the key already
they had years to decide if they want to testify for closure. they're all choosing to do this. this is to push the penalty higher so they're doing a good thing
This is the penalty phase to determine if he gets a death sentence or life in prison. That's the whole point of this part.
Everyone deserves a fair trail regardless of how much proof there is against them
also, let's make it clear, we want death in this case, not life.
He's already pled guilty. This is not a trial to find him guilty, it's because the prosecutor is asking for the death penalty. Defense is asking for life in prison.
The prosecutor doesn’t seem to understand Uber well. I drove Uber part-time for 8 years in Philly.
Initially, he’s asking her to read from documents produced by Uber which did not appear necessarily on her phone. For example, he’s showing her documents from the Uber records listing for “Nikolas Cruz.” For privacy reasons, the app doesn’t disclose last names. Her app screen would instruct her to pick up “Nikolas C.”
Her court subpoena summons obviously says “Florida v. Nikolas Cruz” now. At the time, she wouldn’t have known his last name.
Unrelated issue: I understand the presumption of innocence during the guilt phase to prohibit presumptively innocent defendants from wearing prison garb in front of the jury. However, Cruz already pleaded guilty and court is in the penalty phase. Jury already knows Cruz is staying in prison. Why dress him up in different preppy sweaters daily when we know he’s an admitted murderer now?
It’s interesting to see in all of these courtroom videos of this case how civil the prosecutors and the defense team are towards each other.
We must focus on what he did and put him away for good. That’s it.
This is exactly what this trial is about
We must put him away in a ground 6 feet under.
Put him DOWN and THAT'S IT!!
God bless this lady 💕
What happed to the “So help me God.” In the oath before testimony? This was such a sad event for everyone involved. I heart go out to them all.
If I had to guess they've probably removed it so it's inclusive for people who have different religions or beliefs
@@Khaatana I didn’t mean any offense to anyone. Maybe, So help your God? I guess that also explains no hand on a Bible. 🫤
@@kassandralevingston9874 Oh dw, I don't think it came across as offensive at all!
I noticed that too. They’ve taken our Heavenly Father out of everything. Courts, schools, heartbreaking 💔 😢🙏🙏🙏🙏
Our nation was founded on the principles of God and the Bible. That is this country’s true religion, belief.
Such a sweet lady. It's a pity she has to have this memory!
Why somebody letting their grandma drive total strangers around.. They need to get an extra income and help her out
You work your whole adult life and after everything is said and done, what ever payments you get in social security isn’t even enough to cover living expenses or medical bills. This is why more older people are working part time past their prime in this day and age.
@@NotLikeUs17 I guess everybody looks at it from their own point of view.. If my mom or grandma was driving uber and were up in age, i would hustle or work an extra part time job to help them.. Some people won't.. Some people don't and some people dont have time.. But i got time for my mom no matter what.. Just like my comment.. Thats from my point of view. Some may agree.. Some may have excuses.. And some may not agree.. It is what it is on mine
Good point actually
@@LifesLessons100 I’m not saying you’re wrong but there are a plethora of reasons why seniors are having to work past their primes, unfortunately. That said, I think you taking care of your mom is admirable and I’m sure she’s grateful for you. We all get old one day.
Out of my moms 4 kids, I’m the only who stepped up to plate when her health declined to care for her and thank heavens my circumstances have allowed me too. I worked years as charge nurse in skilled rehabs and the amount of seniors who didn’t have close family or kids that cared enough was really kind of disheartening but given the culture of America, isn’t surprising.
@@NotLikeUs17 i know you're not saying im wrong. Im just saying everyone has their own opinion on different situations and i realize that also.. But i was just letting you know how i am. You werent wrong either.. There's a lot of elderly people in situations like you said. Very True!
