Parkland mass shooter Nikolas Cruz 'will plead guilty to all 17 counts of premeditated murder and 17 counts of attempted murder' rather than going through full trial
2021-10-15
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • Nikolas Cruz
    ...diagnoses of autism, depression and significant psychological problems, described as a troubled kid obsessed with guns — the police came to the family home frequently to deal with him — Mr. Cruz was adopted at birth. His adoptive father died when he was young, then his adoptive mother died a few months before he ran amok, so really he was a classic school shooter...
    will plead guilty to 17 counts of premeditated murder and 17 counts of attempted murder rather than going to a full trial, according to reports

  • On 14 February 2018, then-19-year-old opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, killing 17 and wounding 17 more

  • He will be sentenced either to death or life without parole

  • Previously, Cruz´s attorneys said he would plead guilty in exchange for a life sentence, but prosecutors had previously rejected that offer

  • Cruz will also plead guilty to battering a Broward County Jail guard back in November 2018

  • Prosecutors could argue that the attack is an aggravating factor when they seek his execution during the upcoming penalty phase

  • The Public Defender's Office told 7News that they would 'neither confirm nor deny' that Cruz would plead guilty

  • Cruz's defense team will officially announce their clients' pleas on Friday
