I’m not able to have a sorry feeling for this man. His mental abilities allowed him to carry out his plan. Knows right from wrong. Anticipated it! No excuses. I can’t hear them. He should have let the cops take care of business.
To me, all this talk of his problems is more of an argument FOR the death penalty. The witnesses are shaping the story that he was treated badly, bullied & made fun of to the point that it drove him to do this. This will certainly happen to him in prison & on a larger meaner scale. If it drove him to violence before, imagine how he'll react now. Of course he won't retaliate on the bullies but maybe elderly or disabled inmates cuz he only picks on people who can't fight back. He kept his head buried when it was about the victims but when they talked about his life & during the gun demonstration he was alert & all ears. He's likely not done killing.
@@lauracook8203 He's already shown signs by attacking the guard and going for his taser. Death row will be a blessing for him, he won't last a month in gen pop.
No, if he wasn’t diagnosed properly then it’s everyone he’s met along the way that failed to provide him supports and proper school placement. Everything that lead to the murders was a horrible set of circumstances. From his mother’s drug use during pregnancy, to his dysfunctional childhood, and the school district that failed to place him in a school that supports children with severe behaviors. This is happening to other people as you sit here and read the comments. Children who are not properly diagnosed, parent’s who are in denial, and school districts who fail to act and place and provide the proper supports for children like him. It will happen again. People reacting like you are, will do nothing to keep this from happening again. Sped law needs to change, and school districts and CPS need to do their part.
She's obviously not wearing it for protection, so she's just wearing it to be annoying and so no one can understand her while she chews on her mask while answering. Gross.
My heart breaks for the people who died in this shooting. Watching today's testimony is excruciating as we witness this child with disabilities treated from the womb by so many in his young life with unkindness. Nikolas was awkward and described as "wierd" by neighbors. Would things be different if everybody who encountered this boy treated him with love and kindness?
Nikolas Cruz was clearly troubled and appeared to cry out for help with his actions over the years. I don't think he ever got the help, support or understanding he needed as a child with disabilities. I don't excuse at all what he did, the horror of it is incomprehensible but our system will once again fail this young man if he is put to death.
Wow day 16, I don't understand why this is dragging out so long people having to put their lives on hold to deal with this penalty phase ,how much longer is this going to go on. Kind of ironic how it took him what all five minutes if that to kill n injure the students and teachers at this school but everyone is having to take such care and time when deciding what to do with this pos. Smh
I remember going to a farmers market and my partners mask had fallen down his nose because his mask was slightly to big and this lady who had something to do with the market hauled ass past people to get to us practically running folks down, stepping on necks to get to us. and looked like she was about to have a massive nervous break-down and said with her hands together 👏 in front of our faces “could you wear your mask correctly and pull it up over your nose? K, thanks” and then mowed people down to get back to the other side of the very packed market pavilion. We were astonished and shocked and slightly scared at her sudden and unhinged reaction to his mask slipping.
Has anyone noticed when the families spoke he kept his head buried but when it was time to offer up mitigating factors about how terrible his childhood was he was alert, listening and looking up at his witnesses. Also when he gave that apology speech the words he used most were I & me. He just does not get it. One of the things killers always say when begging for their life (Nikolas Cruz included) is they want to "help people". Cruz has been locked up for 3 years. I wish the judge would ask him how many people has he helped so far? With all his wisdom & life experience lol.
Being a witness in a tragic, high-profile, televised case likely produces anxiety, which can affect the way someone communicates. Stop btching and go watch scripted shows if you're that impatient.
@@mbb-- A lot of people watching these live cases appear to be very immature. They decide on their version of who's innocent/guilty from the start. They become impatient when anybody goes off their imagined script or has to cover "unexciting" matters. I dread the thought of any of them serving on a jury.
I agree with you!!! I watched her testimony live and she was winding me right up! She wouldn’t answer the bloody questions that were being asked!!! I lost count how many times she said that she had kids!!!! She aggravated me so much!!
The more I listen to his story, it is clear to me that his mother's addictions, basically she had an alcohol and drugs daily diet, had to do something to him as a foetus. There is so much we still don't know about our human body and brain yet. He was in a loving family, privileged home and yet something happened to him that clicked in his brain and turned into a monster. The same way we cannot explain how people suffering mental health problems can commit suicide leaving beautiful babies and a loving wife behind, there has to be an explanation for a kid to turn into a monster. Was he born a monster or was he turned into one? The more I hear about his loving family I tend to think he was born like this from the womb.
I've been following this trial. I understand that the shooter's birthmom was addicted to drugs and alcohol. I'm an adoptive parent. We adopted our daughter from birth through open adoption. The more I follow this case, the more I feel they focus on the fact he was adopted. I understand he obviously has FACD. But this makes it sound like kids who were adopted are damaged. Not true. Our daughter's birthmom was like any of us. I feel like both the defense and prosecution focus on the fact he was adopted. It actually makes me sick. They raised him from birth. I don't know. Please don't judge my reaction, but I feel like they spend too much time on "he was adopted" our daughter, who we adopted from birth, is an A student, has many friends, is loving and loved.
I don't think they're portraying that his adoptive parents failed him. What they're trying to do is spare him the death penalty by deeming his birth mother the cause of his mental ailments. He was given a golden opportunity to live a (more than) normal, privileged life. They keep bringing it up because he was saved from the horrible hand at life he was dealt. They keep bringing it up because it wasn't enough to save him. That is what they're trying to get across to spare his pathetic existence... Even adoption couldn't save him because he was so damaged from what his birth mother did to him while he was in the womb. That's why they keep bringing it up. He made his bed, and he can sleep in it for eternity for all I care.
Nobody is saying that kids who were adopted are damaged. The point is that his birth mother was drug addict while she was pregnant (that´s the main issue). Genes and upbringing both matter.
I get that. I'm not saying his birthmom had no effect on him. If I were on the jury, I don't know if I could sentence someone to death. The thing is, over and over again in the media, if someone was adopted, that's what they flock to. I'm tired of hearing "adoptive parents " adoption is permanent. If you adopt a baby, the baby WAS adopted, not IS adopted. I'm just trying to convey the stigma of adoptees.
@@annashafto8823 I totally understand. My mom was adopted at birth. My (adoptive which is really weird saying) grandparents have been more REAL grandparents to me than my biological ones. Practically non-existent to say the least. I wouldn't be who, what or where I am today if it weren't for them. They are my true family.
Nikolas Cruz is everything that was predicted the crack babies from 1980’s-1990’s crack epidemic would be. Lots of resources were in place. He was even adopted into a nice home but his sickness prevailed uncontrollably. FAS is reasoning for his improper communication skills. I still feel like the school system could’ve done better bc they were really proactive by escorting Nikolas after bringing a weapon to school. Special needs should’ve meant special implementations. Other than the academic plan that met his IEP.
Agreed - I hear lots of entitlements - but no consequences. Just because someone has behavioral problems doesn't mean they should be handled with kid gloves. He needed a strong person to break this will-fullness and massive behavioral problems. He just ran over everyone.
Yep everything is sad about every part of this story starting with Nicholas being poisoned in the womb all the way to his own horrific decision to kill so many people. None of it is right and none of it is ok. ☹️
Nikolas Cruz was dealt the worst hand in life. He did not choose to have a drug addicted mother. He was not born with the same faculties the rest of us (most of us anyway) were born with so he was incapable of dealing with the complexities of life the way society expects us too. Nikoals did not choose to have his father die when he was five. Nikolas did not choose to have a psychopathic younger brother who made his life miserable. Mrs. Cruz, God bless her heart did the best she could with an impossible situation. As a mother, I put myself in her shoes and I just cannot imagine what she went through, and if she was alive to see this, my heart breaks for her and Nikolas. Nikolas had nature and nurture going against him. All of these are mitigating circumstances, whether you like it or not. I am not making excuses for Nikolas. Nikolas Cruz should have been in a locked down in-patient facility. But these do not exist for patients like Nikolas Cruz. It is tragic how all the teachers and therapists and doctors each had their own experience and knowledge of Nikolas, but there was no communication or coordination to adequately address the condemned soul that is Nikolas Cruz. No one had a complete picture of Nikolas, just pieces to a puzzle. If they had the whole picture, they should have Bakered him. Then he could not have purchased the guns. The victims and their families deserve justice, but what is justice? I had to look it up: Justice is a concept of moral rightness based on ethics, rationality, law, natural law, religion, or equity. It is also the act of being just and/or fair. Certainly the victims did not deserve what they got, nor do the families deserve the pain they are suffering, but is Nikolas’s death is just retribution. It is not justice. It will not bring them back or make them whole. Nikolas’s death will not make anything better for them. Nickolas is guilty and he should be punished, but is death a reasonable and just punishment? If you have no compassion for Nikolas, you are not a parent.
That's a completely ridiculous assumption. I hope that you wouldn't say that mess to the parents of these victims. Plenty of people are dealt bad hands ( Me included) but plenty of us also don't because cold and psychotic individuals. He was simply an awful individual.
I've been following the trial. I read here that this witness winked at NC when she walked out. I never saw that. I can't believe she'd do that. How could she? And esp. in front of everyone in Court & on TV! She said she took his calls from jail & when they asked if the conversations were inappropriate at all, she hesitated & said yes, some of it was, but that he was "just joking." JUST JOKING?? With his past behavior & history, why she would EVER put up with that, listen to him, & not hang up immediately is beyond me.
she admitted to having inappropriate phone calls with him whilst he has been in jail. To me, that only means one thing. and then she winked at him when she left the court. they are most definitely having phone sex.
They're just dragging this thing out they just need to sentence the boy and get it over with. This is the first mass shooting trial that they have done this way
I don't know if this guy must get life behind bars or death penalty. Cause death means he has an easy way out and life means he will still live and survive on tax payers money. Gosh I pray for his as well. What he did is u forgiveable.
It's a tough choice,but 17 families ruined. Free room and board 3 meals a day No job to hustle to. No clothes to buy No creditors to worry about. No child support. He's a winner. 17 families ruined.
We have to pay regardless of what the verdict is. Death penalty has mandatory appeals and they don’t execute them for years. That’s a lot of money. Life no parole is supporting him the rest of his life and he is young. I’m glad I am not on the jury. I can’t decide which is the worse punishment. I hope he gets whatever brings him the most suffering. It will never be enough or even come close to what these families are going through. God bless the families, including his.
Does it offend you? Even though it's not your business if she wears one or not, she is wearing it for a reason that she doesn't need to explain to anyone.
I realize this sounds shallow nevertheless defense counsel’s hairdo is so bad I can barely concentrate on the testimony. That’s a problem. Get a hairdresser. I guarantee it will help.
She doesn't even answer some of the questions the way they're asked, she just says whatever she wants. Aren't the lawyers supposed to do a mock-type trial with their witnesses; go over what they're going to say when they testify? And btw, this witness is saying that NC's Mom was such a loving Mother .. so how does that help him? Aren't his lawyers saying he had a terrible upbringing by his Mother and that's why he did what he did?

What is the point of these questions. This is NC trial
What's with the stupid mask?!
She might have covid, she’s sounds sick
@@brendahiggins355 then she shouldn't be there.
Does it offend you? Even though it's not your business if she wears one or not, she is wearing it for a reason that she doesn't need to explain to anyone.
@@dianamassimo haha
Why aren’t they saying some thing about her mask falling down to her chin?
Why wear a mask over just the mouth?
Why is she wearing a mask if it's not covering her nose?
sometimes i do that. Why are you picking on her with small things???????????????????????
You eill be safer if you k i l l yourself. 😊 DO IT.
She’s trying to hide her face, even though they already know who she is
I realize this sounds shallow nevertheless defense counsel’s hairdo is so bad I can barely concentrate on the testimony. That’s a problem. Get a hairdresser. I guarantee it will help.
I am so sick of finding your belaboring of this tragedy STILL on court tv, enough already!!!!!
Did his Brother testify yet?
Did I miss it?
No he's not testify yet..
@@kazx8712 Do you know if he's supposed to? Thanks for your answer
@@lorikrolikowski9905 yes he's to testify, the judge also ruled the other day he's to answer all questions. No problem x
I thought he wasn't allowed to see Nick
@@kazx8712 Did they say how his Biological died? I probably missed that one too
This defense lawyer’s competent.
That mask is annoying
She adds no relevant testimony
She is goof ball!
She doesn't even answer some of the questions the way they're asked, she just says whatever she wants. Aren't the lawyers supposed to do a mock-type trial with their witnesses; go over what they're going to say when they testify? And btw, this witness is saying that NC's Mom was such a loving Mother .. so how does that help him? Aren't his lawyers saying he had a terrible upbringing by his Mother and that's why he did what he did?
@@purpleandred7👍
She is his new girlfriend 😍
@@barbmurray8557 whos new girlfriend? Geez lock him up .....its over
@@elizabethgrassi9444 Nicolas Cruz. Sends her naughty stuff
This judge is a joke.
How so?
@@annashafto8823 I agree
CHILDRENS
Good lord.😳I know it’s necessary but man, sometimes questioning can be so monotonous!😑
Si vous aviez vécu exactement la même "vie" que Nikolas vous seriez devenus exactement comme lui.
Not true!
@@jogordon1530 Vous n'auriez pas été détruit ? Bien sûr que si, vous n'êtes pas plus fort que les autres. Un simple être humain avec son beau mécanisme fragile.
I know people that are my age who had it far worse than them and THEY didn't go out and kill ANYONE. So NO jes a POS and deserves to die
Ce n’est pas vrai. Même si on vivait exactement la même vie que lui, on ne penserait pas à tuer quelqu’un.
Every person has their own path, we have free will here. Obviously, this is revealing the many Menaces amongst us. It’s not looking good. Hide and watch…and for love of anything good …help when you can, any way you can.
