- Victims’ families get their final say in court prior to the sentencing of the Parkland school shooter. The statements follow a nearly three-month trial, after which a jury of seven men and five women could not unanimously agree on the death penalty for the convicted killer, resulting in a life sentence.
Her fathers anger is strong. I’m so sorry for all the families that suffered and still suffer the pain that will never be extinguished.
Not just strong but palpable.
the judge did just what he asked of her. she made it where he can not profit from his crime in the media, she also ruled that his defense fees come out of his commissary. He will not ever see a pack of ramen noodles. She also barred any crazed fans of his out there from being able to put money on his books or write him. she couldn’t hand the death penalty herself but she did everything she could to make his sentence worse . I love her
If she could have overridden the jury’s verdict I’m most certain she would have
I hope all the inmates watch this and carry out the parent's wishes.
If I was in the prison I’d kill him and write a book about how I tortured him. These public defenders should never get another job again.
That kid is toast. I wonder if he realizes that. He seems devoid of any consciousness but who knows. Obviously he's out if it completely.
Oh they will all be jumping at the chance to be the hero. They know their commissary will be flooded
If the prison doesn't protect his junies
He gets his own cell
I cannot imagine seeing your dead child and wounds on her body… I dont think I could do that.
i agree, i don’t have kids but i couldn’t imagine how gut wrenching, heartbreaking and intense that would be to see that type of violence against ur dead kid :(
Bea - me either. I pray to God the families find peace in all this.
@@brianstormthomass when you have children it’s like a mirror of yourself. I can’t explain it. You put them ahead of everything else…..These parents have gone through something I can’t imagine as a father.
This is a case where I am for the death penalty. I don't say that lightly. If the death penalty doesn't apply in this case, it doesn't apply to any other case.
Look up fiery Island in Russia.
Life can be worse than death.
@@bloodlove93 it can definitely be but this pos will get fan mail, 3 square meals, commissary, a place to sleep and healthcare.
@@bloodlove93 Not in America.
@@bloodlove93 well he ain't going there. If he were going there then we would be having a different conversation about what should happen to him.
The death penalty shouldn't apply to any case. You are just as evil for advocating murder.
Oh my God, when mom was talking about how she was touching her daughter’s body and wanted to just bring her back to life💔 RIP, beautiful girl. Number 8 was my number too when I played soccer. My thoughts and prayers are with the families.
Their's was probably the most impactful statement I've heard so far. By the end, I was in tears. And as her father asked, her father asked the judge to put this creature in general population so street justice could fulfill the justice that wasn't fulfilled here. God Bless these families.
These people wanted revenge, not justice.
He’s not walking free like OJ or Emmitt Till’s killers, yet these people seem to equate that.
And I love how Florida claims to be pro life yet is all for the death penalty
I'm weeping. I don't know these people but am so sad!!! I just can't believe this happened.
I am sad too Sarah! I didn't know them either but anytime a life is lost to violence --especially so many young ones; how can it not make us both sad and angry!! I will keep all of the families of the victims in my thoughts and prayers. Deepest condolences for your loss.
@@LeafsAndCars yes, for sure. I keep thinking about my own kids and how I would feel.. my god. Btw there was a school shooting recently in my city (Seattle), not a mass one but it's scary.
@@sarahpinho1114 I will keep you and your wonderful family in my thoughts and prayers. Take care.
Even the judge wanted to cry.
I have tears for every one of these victims and their families. I cannot imagine the pain and sorrow they are enduring. May God bless them all
It’s sickening because even under his mask he seems to not care not a single ounce. He is disgusting. I pray for the families of the victims and I hope so much that they find some closure if that’s even possible. This is the most unfair pain.. losing a child has to be unbearable. I lost a parent and I just cannot imagine losing my child. I would not be able to exist... I hope that his karma takes him.
Thank you parents.
You all have made me hug my child closer and tell her 'i love you' much more often. Thank you for your hard work and continuing efforts to protect our kids!!
I couldn't imagine giving life to a child, and having some POS decide he can just take it away from them.
Especially if your child did nothing to that POS. It's scary how random people get killed for no reason
Well if there’s a God he is definitely no better he does it all the time
@@alifakhrzadeh1544 I understand.
I’m not religious, but it’s certainly sad when you hear about kids getting diagnosed with cancer and other terrible illnesses. They never even got to give life a chance.
Mom trying to warm her cold daughter and touch the holes left behind is about as heavy as it gets. 😔
I lost it.
I remember seeing this on the news when it happened in 2018. I was not yet a mother, but I now have an almost 2 year old son, and watching these clips breaks my heart for these families grieving the losses. My sons father took his life 2/11/21 just a mere four days after giving birth to our son. I pray these families find some kind of peace and healing in their grief journey. Walking into grief is a dark place to be, that you never see coming. It comes in waves and is never ending.
Truly heartbreaking to see these families faces contorted in bewilderment. And yes I do hope that the inmates give him the justice that the system didn’t.
Lovely child, I can't imagine your grief. We are there with you all.
Shame on those jurors who served on this jury and lied when they were asked if they were willing to give the death penalty. These poor parents and loved ones.
I wish their non profit was called Make ALL Schools Safe so the acronym is MASS so that no mass shootings will occur again.
The complete lack of emotion in his stare, like he's watching a boring TV show, is infuriating. He won. He knows he won. He could be smiling under that mask and nobody in the court would even be surprised. What a massive injustice.
I totally agree! I just keep looking at him saying to myself, I wonder what kind of drugs they gave him to sit there with absolutely no emotion or is he a real life Michael Myers, someone Dr. Loomis always described as “not human” because these witness impact statements are gut wrenching to listen to but yet he appears to be completely numb to it all.
MKUltra
@@sweetladyt9862 they didn’t drug him. He is a sociopath with NO FEELINGS for anyone but himself!
@@shannonhawkins3296 I agree!
I think it was mentioned during one of the trials that the reason he wore a mask was to literally hide his smiles while they show evidence / give testimonies. Its sickening.
This is why 12 random joe schmoes with ZERO legal training should NOT decide trial outcomes.
Agree
I'm so sorry for your loss. I cant imagine. I'm praying for your family
He will get his deserved PUNISHMENT in PRISON !!!! 🤬
I hope you’re right.
He gets his own cell
Well a serial killer named Billy Chemirmir was murdered in prison so there’s definitely an opportunity for Nik Cruz to die in prison from an inmate
An event of such all encompassing sadness. Seeing the faces of the courtroom guards, all normal people having to listen to such painful statements provided by the families of the victims, it says it all. The depth of depravity of such a horrific act defies comprehension.
I’ve seen black men handed death penalty sentences for far less than what Cruz did
had to make it about race.. plenty of people have received the death penalty regardless of race.. this kid should have been one of them for sure.
@@markymark637 Julius Jones was sentenced to death and was only given clemency because people found out about his case and knew he was wrongly convicted. He was wrongly convicted and still was sentenced the death penalty. It’s only by the stroke of god he’s still alive
Irrelevant, as the legal factors that determine whether somebody is sentenced to death are many and vary greatly from State to State, Judge to Judge, Jury to Jury. While on trial for Rape, Brian Nichols (black) overpowered a guard and murdered the Judge presiding over his case, the court reporter, and a Sherrif before escaping. Despite the system's best efforts he managed to dodge a death sentence and the jury gave him LWOP. Death Sentences are not weighed against one another to determine if the punishment fits the crime.
A lot of people get the death penalty for less than Cruz did.
Race has nothing to do with it.
The misguided ideology of a few jurors is responsible for this.
That’s how US is
This is heart wrenching.
Respect from Bulgaria !
That’s a real hero !!! 🇧🇬🇩🇪🙋🏻♂️
May every parents and love ones of the victims fine peace and freedom once again.
Psychopaths don't CARE about feelings and the devastation their murders cause relatives and friends. Impact statements to monsters are a waste of time, taxpayer money, effort and breath. Why bother? That punk is tuning everything out and thinks of these parents as nothing but tubs of guts with a lot of hot air to expell. End of story!
Amazing, hard working, upstanding parents and professionals.
We r with you parents. We won’t forget your children ever ❤ they r hero’s! We love you prosecution team and my personal hero the Judge! As far as the pathetic defense team they should b disbarred, resign whatever … I don’t think anyone should give them any work.
Imagine having a child go to school, and never seeing that child come out alive again. That's scary.
Well said Sir
My condolences to all the families. 💔
No-one should be going through this horrendous pain.. Specially when you bring someone into this world 🌎 and do all your best to protect them and to a monster take them away by killing them.
Why are so many people calling him an animal? Are animals evil mass murderers??
He’s talking about wild animals plus English is not his first language
My cat kinda is
To tell you the truth people call them animals because they have a desire to feel better about themselves. Society has plenty of psychopathic traits if two people are looking for a job and one spot is open the loser has to starve a little while longer. People deal with bullying constantly. People give unsolicited advice frequently but are hypocritical about it. The one thing murderers do is destroy lives physically unlike what I mentioned where it is mentally
Seeing the photo of their daughter Alyssa is powerful….
As part of the public watching this trial we didn’t get to know the kids or what they even look like. That girl Alyssa has a beautiful smile and looks young and healthy… as a mom of two my heart breaks for all of those mothers and fathers… As parents it is the worst nightmare we could ever imagine and these families don’t have to imagine because they are living it…
I do believe Mom’s dad’s will be reunited with their children… I have to believe…
I am so very very sorry for the death of your beautiful, young, healthy daughter. Truly I am…
When they get him, I hope they take it slow.
Then let him heal just enough to repeat the process.
@@GhetFabBoi Precisely. He shouldn’t ever live another of his life without agonizing pain. He should wish he received the death penalty over what he’s about to get.
There’s such tragedy that one person’s miserable existence no matter how it came to be, has ripped from so many people’s lives the light and love the victims created in THEIR lives. There is no way in my mind how, given that undeniable fact, the jurors could say their collective loss of light didn’t outweigh the void of any of what is right in this world in NC. If ever there was an utterly overwhelming and plainly obvious unbalance it absolutely was this. The jurors who disagreed with the death penalty for him were NOT basing it on the FACTS presented, or NC himself. They obviously were using their “moment” to show that they were so virtuous that they could never vote for death. Why do I think that? Because this was a case where one and one makes two and the jury said, one and one makes five. By their own statements in the verdict documents, to anyone listening, the outcome follows to recommend death. But it DIDN’T ADD UP. They felt their moral compass outweighed the needs of the forever suffering survivors and victims families. And they took a page from that coward NC’s playbook, and they made a self-righteous self-serving decision and re-victimized those families.
You're fat lol
I only hope the inmates give all of us the justice we want carried out.
Like I mentioned before an infamous serial killer Billy Chemirmir died from an inmate so there’s hope I guess
Why did that animal have to shoot that baby 8 times 😡😡😡
NO GOOD SOB!!!!!
He’s not an animal
@@lauragrace3270 he is to me and 17 other families!!!!!!
@@lauragrace3270 you're an animal
@@lauragrace3270 He’s a dark soul devoid of human emotions.
To call him an animal is a huge injustice to animals. Love and peace to the grieving family and friends.
This must have been so painful for the parents..their impact statements were so powerful..the evil killer will suffer in jail
As a parent, I cannot imagine what they are going through.
Heartbreaking
"Blessed are those that mourn, they shall be comforted."+❤️🙏🏼🌹🎆👑
My heart breaks for these families. NO parent or ANYONE should have to go through this HORROR!
These poor, devastated parents. Horrific pain, a lifetime ruined. God bless them.
If this happened here in the Philippines.. he's already dead long ago
Well yeah, you guys murder drug users for using drugs. Not Particularly Catholic.
He certainly should have gotten the death penalty!!! I’m ashamed of the juror that voted no!
God bless you mom and dad. I’m so sorry for your pain. I’m in tears . I have two small boys I’d die for them any day every day. So sorry
I really don't know how these poor parents cope..they are amazing...❤
The brother was not fit to have and operate a firearm. He should NEVER have been able to purchase a semi-automatic gun. But he lives in America and America gave him a GUN.
Correction- the justice system would have prohibited him had they actually used the laws that he had broken numerous times. There was a program called the promise program that had given financial incentives to keep kids out of jail. That program is horrific & believe me when I say they profited over keeping monsters like him on the streets.
The gun isn’t the issue & 2.5 million people protect their lives & save them yearly with defensive firearm use.
The father should have spoken directly to the jury. I think his speech would have made more impact towards those cowardly, pathetic people than towards the 'justice system' in general. The JURY is the entity that allowed his daughter not to get the real justice the killer deserved, not the vague, faceless 'system'.
I agree, unfortunately the jury wasn't present. It definitely would have dug deep to those who waived it.
What an ignorant statement . The jury was given specific rules to follow without emotion into the equation because that's how this country's laws work . We do not live in a mob society . You don't have to agree with it to know that they were given a tough task to follow . The only one to blame is the killer . In the meantime retake your government class
@@chonk2021 There is nothing tough about it. They used 'feelings' over logic. The jury chose the same penalty for him as a gangbanger who shoots and kills a rival in a drive-by. If family is allowed to speak how they feel, then all involved in getting a minor slap on the wrist sentence are fair game which includes the defense attorneys and the jury. I know if my kid was murdered, there would have been a few people in that room addressed besides the killer.
Bless you 2 ❤️
I AM SO UPSET THAT WE ARE ONLY JUST NOW HEARING FROM THE FAMILIES--AFTER THE SENTENCING. THIS IS BS.
We need to find a way to make sure kids like the murderer do not have any chance to hurt anyone !!! This should have never gotten to the point where others got hurt he should have never been able to get the gun! He should have never been allowed into society with his issues.... so many people failed him which failed everyone involved with the murders!
He would have been prohibited had they actually used the system and it infuriates me that he got away with A&B, domestic abuse and even death threats because of that stupid promise program
@@catshultz9045 I agree!
The Broward County Sheriff's office should have done their sworn duty that day. I hope some of them read my comment. I hope that you think every minute of everyday of your life why you stood by and did nothing to save the lives of those you swore an oath to protect. You are all cowards and a disgrace to the uniform and shield you wear.
God this is heartbreaking!
Why is it when something wrong happens in a person's life, they take their anger out on the rest of the world & kill innocent people??? What type of children are we raising in this society?
It’s just hilarious that somone can kill 17 people and America can’t kill the person who did the killing
Terry Nichols helped kill over 160+ in Oklahoma City yet he too got life without parole
3:03 that gave me chills
I have never seen such an angry disgusted face like this man's. It's like this emotion is frozen and that's how he looks every day. Poor man,I feel horrible for his depth of pain💔
God bless with the Alhadeff family
He showed no mercy while he destroyed many lives now its his turn to be shown no mercy
Amen!! Prison has a system of it’s own & this is where justice will prevail. As this mom said, “In God we trust”.
I do not know what faith you are, but no faith I know of would want a believer to wish death on someone, no matter who it is so you can take out "In God we trust" you hypocrite. I am not supporting nor condemning what he did but I am tired of self-righteous people like you.
@@garrettgrimes9656 First of all I didn’t wish death on him, so you need to learn how to read. I have a right to my opinion & so do you. In God I do trust & justice will be prevailed. If he accepts Jesus,repents and turns his life around God will forgive him, but we all reap what we sow. FYI, the real hypocrite is in your mirror.
They have alot of hate in their hearts and understandably so but it's never healthy... they need real therapy/help... sad... may God bless them
R u f****** kidding eight bullets in this 14 year old girl and you have the nerve to say that they have too much f****** hate you're the one that needs help buddy
@@chantellegattrell7073 My comment wasnt meant to attack them.. maybe i should've wrote it differently but nonetheless this is a real problem... its not healthy to harvest hate like this but i do understand it... they NEED therapy and the right kind of help as they should be seeking because I know I would.
@Eddvel They are expressing themselves and you will find a therapist would say it is a perfectly natural and expected to have a level of anger and they have the right to express it towards the murderer of their daughter after four and a half years. Hence the reason they have the right to by the legal system.
Please note the parents have created a foundation to create change. That is how they use their experience to try to change the world for the better.
That same hatred was felt by the shooter when he was mocked for being different, for being autistic and a mentally challenged kid that everyone shunned.
They won't have closure until real justice is served
I have to disconnect from my emotions completely not to spend days angry with that jury for sparing that guy's life. Our present reality for the last 2 years is being concerned with the criminal, the victimizer ,the murderer and what's good for them. Not only did they cheapen the value of those 17 people that were killed, by letting the perpetrator live, they spit in the faces of the families who suffered the loss of their loved one who is guilty of absolutely nothing but going to school. Furthermore, anyone that's convicted of killing any less than this guy did now has a legal precedent that will be the basis of an appeal and maybe a commuting of sentence on what ought to be a capital punishment crime. The defense team discussed me with the way they attempted to blame shift and flip things around. They were so pathetic by pretending that they were victims. I'm glad I wasn't in that courtroom.
Sadly he won’t be put in gen pop, so honestly I don’t know where the families get that he will “suffer” ! Defense made it clear he won’t for his “safety”! So to the victims..I know it’s painful and unjust but you have to come to terms that even in jail THERE WILL NOT BE ANY JUSTICE! Unless judge orders gen pop.
One day they will dahmer him
Life in prison sucks even if your life isn't threatened
The judges face 😮
UwU
That poor judge. She is on the verge of crying the whole time… I know she cried her eyes out after the hearing
God please surrounded and comfort these families with a peace of mind, mend the holes in their hearts. I don’t know any of the families my love is with all of them. I hope they all continue to advocate for their babies ❤
Prayers thoughts and condolences to her family.
Welcome to Broward County.
I don't wish ill will on anyone, I don't share in these hate fillled statements from the parent's.
🙏🙏🙏🙏💪💪 power messages
They could probably bribe some inmates to kill him with a pan of brownies or their gratitude.
But Nikolas Didnt Get Rid Of Any Of The Sophomores in the school on 2.14.2018
He is EVEN BELOW an animal, which does not carry out mass murders for some diabolical, sick reason.
I remember this now
These statements are having an impact on everyone…….except the murderer, it would seem. I’m no psychologist but his eyes betray no emotion. Rather, he appears to listen attentively to their stories of the pain he caused and to relish it.
I totally agree with him! The Legal system is totally broken, because you are afraid of hurting the guilty and don't care about the victims, because they aren't your children.
I agree with all of the 17 victims family's what they had to say
The Judge looks like she's in shock!
You can tell how deeply she feels for the victims’ families. I can’t imagine having to preside over a case like this. It does a number on your psyche.
God bless your family moving forward . We cannot stop crying to your loss ..8 bullets ?? Really ??? Give this family a bat for 8 free hits .
Bringing tears ., can’t stop but crying,,, why , why,??
The fact I have to share my world with you is disgusting! The fact I have to breath the same air you breath is reprehensible!
Carrying all that anger and hatred isn’t good. I’d be just as mad though
In jail...cruz is interchanging letters with fans. Maybe he is aiming them to be a shooters like him 🤔
Amen 🙏 this man is 100 percent correct!!! He’s right! I completely agree with him.
So sorry for your loss and pain . And yes may the killer live on in pain and loneliness for the rest of his miserable existence.
He murdered 19 people not 17. They need to redo the math.
Technically you're right because think of it. 2 people committed suicide because of him.
He will be protected because he is so.high profile. The movie theater Batman guy was moved to a place so he could have private and secure custody. I have a feeling NC will get something similar
Godbless all of these families. God!
This is so sad :) Why is this World so evil?
I dont wanna worry about the future
I still have no idea how the death penalty wasn't thrown down. it makes no sense
It actually costs more money to do, and doesn’t usually get carried out for many years.
Not to mention I think spending 20 hours in a cell for the rest of your life is far worse.
This criminal should not be called an animal. Animals are better than some humans. We should not disrespect animals by comparing them to these evil humans.
Alyssa was a v nice jovial harmless young lady looking at her photo, don’t know any of them but still feel bad for her…the shooter kept ensuring his victims are really dead he is a real monster..
I understand that they are angry however God said that we must forgive our debtors as He forgives our debts
mine is the revenge says jehovah I will pay. I just pray for all these families to look for Gods love n comforting words!!! I cried listening to all of them n my heart goes out to all of them. I cried seeing the pictures of so beautiful kids killed senseless n I understand how they feel bcz im a mother but then I remember what God said in his word n I pray fir each one of u for God to give you the strength to go through this n one day you can smile again knowing that your kids smile back to you. My prayers go also to the ones that got injured I can just imagine the pain they had to endured at such a young age. Life is so unfair but i hope all of you feel in your hearts that you are loved for so many people all around the world although we don’t know you. God bless you all. God blessed the judge n the lawyers that stood up for justice n let the lord blessed the defense lawyers. I admire them they had the guts to defend someone who committed such a horrible n senseless crime. God bless everyone expressing their feelings since cases like this affect all of us. Thank u
Irish love R.I.P Alicia.
God will have he
