Nikolas Cruz gets life
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • A juror wrote a note to Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer describing heated deliberations over the fate of Nikolas Cruz, the Parkland school shooter

  • The juror said they remained 'fair and unbiased' when sticking to their decision to vote for life in prison, allowing Cruz to escape the death penalty

  • Under Florida law, a death sentence can only be handed down if jurors unanimously recommended he be executed
    • Or with a shiv in the showers
  • The juror noted that their decision made the rest of the jury 'extremely unhappy,' with many of them visibly upset and crying in the courtroom

  • The families of the 17 victims also broke down over the decision, with one warning that it sends a message to the next school shooter

#1 
Let fate bring this juror to the recieving end of another such event. And let her/him introspect whilst bleeding all over the floor.

#2 I wonder how long Cruz’ life sentence will last- who will he find to protect him.

#3 When someone lies during voir dire saying they can consider the death penalty when they are absolutely against it, it destroys any 'fair and unbiased' process to the institution.

#5 He'll either spend the rest of his miserable life in solitary or he'll find inmates wanting to take care of him. He may prefer death.

#6 OK - jumping the shark here.

Assertion:The number of females who would consider imposing the death sentence is far, far less that the number of males.
Conclusion: Including females on a jury almost insures rejection of the death sentence.
