- Parkland Judge Elizabeth Scherer gave encouraging words of support to one victim family member who gave an emotional speech during Nikolas Cruz's sentencing for the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting. Inez Hixon, who was stationed oversees during the shooting, referred to herself as a coward for not speaking before the sentencing. Judge Scherer said the court was moved by her speech and told her that she's a hero.

"As I stood and stared off the coast of Iran, and defended everyone through my service, I thought I was the one in danger, but it was my family being slain back home." My heart hurts.
😭😭😭dear God this is so horribly sad the pain this beautiful woman is living
God bless her dearly 🙏 ❤
Dear God, please help everyone deal with their personal pain,sorrow and grief.
That line hit me hard too.
"I hope you remember every breath you take is a breath you stole"
Wow 😭
Lady you are a Hero. No Coward. Standing up and Speaking is Perfect. God Bless You
When she dismissed the two defense attorneys. My heart was happy.
She’s not a hero. Judge Dorow is a hero and this Judge needs to take a few lessons from her. It’s not her job to become biased based on personal feelings about the case and her distain for the defense team.
@@joan-lisa-smith Do you have hearing problems? 0:54 min to 0:58 min might help you. It was one of the first things she said.
A Brooks she wasn’t biased. She told her she’s a hero because she is a soldier and fights for her country.
@@r1learner178 Thanks I somehow missed that and was focused on the end more
I'm a grown man and tears are streaming down my cheeks. I strongly agree with the judge. She's NOT a coward. She's a hero, not only for and to her family, but to the rest of us as well.
Me too. I have no idea how the judge, lawyers, and everyone else can sit through this all day and hold back their emotions. I could be the murderer's lawyer and would still be in tears listening to these victim statements.
I have no idea how everyone in the court isn't in tears. I would make a terrible judge, I would have to call recess after that victims impact statement because I would look like a racoon from smeared mascara 😭 🦝!
Same here. Tears streamed down my cheeks as well. She is truly a hero. The shooter is the coward
@@nilakshandissanayake1379 tru but dont act like people who get bullied are gonna move on in life
@@stackboostuploads so then you say it's ok let's go shoot up a school. Whatever !! If you get bullied yes move the f$@k on. He did also get numerous counselling sessions prior year s. This thing is not even human.
The judge made such an impact when she spoke for all of us whom this servicewoman represented. That service never ends. It continues on in infinity. Thank you.
The judge didn’t do anything extraordinary. Wish I could get praise next time I pick up a piece of trash off the floor. It’s laughable people nominate LEOs for sainthood after doing basic easy work
The judge did _not_ speak for all of us. As for myself, I wonder how the United States would feel if Iran had an aircraft carrier off our coast. We call these people heroes when what they are doing is going to other people's countries and kicking their a$$es for no reason. It's despicable.
@@a1mi551 You wouldn't last a day as a LEO! You're hilarious!🤣🤣😂😂 Keep on trolling!
@@a1mi551 it's cause she's drop dead gorgeous. The bar is low. I'm genuinely pissed that Cruz was allowed to have her as a judge. I would consider committing a crime just to be in her presence. It's not fair, he's a horrible human and shouldn't be allowed to lay eyes on her.
Hello 👋 Patricia, how are you doing. I really like reading your comment on here. Can we be friends if you don't mind.
“I wish the killer would have talked to my dad, he would have shown him the love he so desperately needed”
This speaks volumes to the amazing people Cruz stole from this world…
This comment should have way more likes
Yeppers dearly she spoke the truth dearly
Then as incredibly hard as it would be that is what they need to do if they truly want to honor his memory and the person that he was .
@@kimsyracuse4031 … Did you just Yuppers?
and yet, she didn't display that emotion. i think by being vindictive, she dishonered her dad's memory
“Every breath you take, remember that’s a breath you stole.”
Sorry but that was her trying too hard
@@lolitis01 What’s your problem?
@@phabulous1614 Ya'wanna fight about it?

@@phabulous1614 You and I will always be
Wow her husband supporting her and standing strong when it was his dad who passed away is heartbreaking. They are BOTH SO STRONG. RIP to those beautiful souls.
I feel for all the families that were destroyed by that animal's senseless act. The trial should never have taken this long.
It was cut way short when defense did the big announcement of ending witness statements there were still 40 more to go
I hope the prison where Nikolas Cruz is going, provides him with a "warm" welcome party in the shower room and give him all the true and sweetest "love" by every inmate in the joint! Nikolas Cruz deserves all the "loving" he should get!!
It would've been twice as long if he got the death penalty. At least 10 years of appeals processes
@@nikolaivista920 Hopefully their hospitality will make him wish he got a death sentence, and that the guards will ignore everything that happens to him.
How dare you call him an animal 😤 Most animals are better than people, he's monster like the rest of you so shove it!
OMG! She was amazing she stood there and honored her father in law. She is my hero and I appreciate her service ❤
Hello 👋 Vanessa, how are you doing. I really like reading your comment on here. Can we be friends, if you don't mind.
Judges are conditioned to be unbiased and to rule by the law but at the end of the day, they are human. And with that comes emotion, compassion, empathy ... cases like this must be VERY difficult for all of them.
It isn’t. At the end of the day they punch out. It’s a job.
It’s indeed very difficult but she is unprofessional. She still has a duty to run her courtroom without bias regardless of how she personally feels and her distain for the defense team. She needs to take a few lessons from Judge Dorow. (Darrell Brooks)
Hello 👋 Bonnie, how are you doing. I really enjoy reading your comment on here. Can we be friends if you don't mind.
@@ABrooksCupid What are you talking about there is no more jury so it doesn't matter about bias or not he is going to jail for life anyway. She was showing compassion and respect to the family's. Today was about the family's of the victims and the defence had to make it about themselves .
I agree I was kinda hard on the Judge Dorow in the parade killings, but you are absolutely right! It has to be difficult to not be bias when ruling due to the horrific crimes!
THIS WOMAN AND HER FATHER IN LAW AND HER HUSBAND ARE SOME OF THE BEST PEOPLE ON EARTH. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
Such love and emotion for her father-in-law. She brought me to tears.
Hello 👋 Sally, how are you doing. Thanks for being emotional, I can see you have a big heart. Hope you don't mind us been friends.
The jury failed these victims shame on them for not giving this guy the death penalty..
I have to say this, Judge Elizabeth Scherer and Judge Jennifer Dorow are a crediit to America. As an Irishman who was interested in the outcome of these cases; i will say this as an outsider looking in. Your country needs women like this.. They have been both calm, cool and collected as arbiter in both trials they have overseen. They are a credit to their profession and their nation.
No we need the old guys in the neighborhood like we use to have that would of mentored this kid when they seen him doing bad.
@@mitchrepperd3536 his neighborhood had that. Didn't you watch the defense witnesses? Dude said he was very disturbed
Yes! Both judges deserve to be honored, as truly "Your Honor."
Well said sir. I am an American and I totally agree with you. Thank you.
At this very moment, the Judge is being investigted. Her appearance of impropriety at the end, embracing the prosecution, shockingly inappropriate according to the BAR ASSOCIATION. Judges ARE to be impartial.
Very moving! What shocks me is how can the defense not be tearing up or having the snot run down their nose like I have right now? How do they learn such callousness?
The defense laughed and gave the camera the middle finger after the life verdict.
That is who and what they are.
They are not a normal defense team.
These parents saw that and refuse to be silent any longer.
Se transformaron en cómplices
@@mischaraine1645 it’s a release. They can walk away knowing they said their peace.
It’s all they have left.
This defense team should be sanctioned in the state of florida for their behavior.
@@mischaraine1645 I have to stop reading after duh. Sorry.
Everyone handles emotions differently. I'm sure everyone felt something from this speech.
This is an amazing judge. I love her.
Lol okay
@@icepick859 you gonna cry
She's the kind of authority we need in our country - where trolls like Defense's members think they own the country.
@@mr.nguyen3222 i agree 💯. Definitely need more like her and the judge in the brooks case.
Both of them are amazing
@@stephaniejones275 I disagree. This Judge allowed her personal feelings to come into play. Very unprofessional.
"I wish you remember that every breath you take is a breath you stole." That...just broke my heart into a million pieces.
I agree with the judge and everyone else who said that this lady, this American, is a hero & is so brave!! The word coward only belongs to the individual who walked into that school with a gun & open fired on innocent people. I thank you, Ma'am, from the bottom of my heart for your service and I'm heart broken & so sorry for your loss. 🙏💔🇺🇸
This made me sob 😭 she is truely brave ! Definitely not a coward, the only coward is that piece of crap ! She spoke so well and with so much class ! She is a beautiful soul, I’m not American but you are such a beautiful person a brave woman to be able to protect your country ! You should feel proud ❤️❤️❤️❤️
"I wish no peace for you." God bless this woman for those words.
You are a hero with integrity and courage. Thank you.
Such a heartwarming message from the judge on behalf of a victim’s emotional address. She’s not a coward like Judge Scherer said.
She's unbelievably brave. Shame on the jury.
Really happy this judge shut down the defense’s whining and complaining about being shot “hurtful” comments by the victims of this horrific incident.
I wish I had met their Dad and their entire Family including these two Heroes! The Judge is also a Hero for how she is trying to protect the Families of the victims and their memories.
I really think they should change the verdict and put this guy to sleep. The families here deserve some justice. The guy will be better off as well.
This guy needs a date with Old Sparky ⚡️
It’s the just thing to do!
most people don't agree with the death penalty cause juries get it wrong all the time
juries are made up of people too dumb to get out of jury duty
we all know who did this one
I too, wish this would happen. BUT however I also understand why it's best for it not to happen lol. Our best bet now is for the law to revert back to majority vote on death penalty phase.
@Padraig Warren Then we will have to see! But something needs to be done now!
There is every chance his attitude and behavior will get him the Dahmer treatment in jail.
The day will come.
No service personnel, should ever think they’re a coward. Well said judge
What's a service personnell?
@@lolitis01 people in the army navy Air Force, front line. People who defend your countrymen and country
This hits the bottom of my heart much love to this Women for speaking the truth
Ma'am, I so agree with you! God bless you for your service to our country! 🙏
Amen 🙏 and bless you too. How are you doing Linda. I really like your comment, can we be friends.
Powerful stuff from her. Cruz should never see the light of day again.
Doesn’t matter, as long as there are guns everywhere in America, people will die to mass shooters.
He should be flaied at the town square so all the other degenerates know what happens if you do these things
May these families heal and find peace🥺
Amen ❣️
Hello 👋 beautiful 🌹How are you doing. Would love to be your friend, and hope you don't mind.
@@danieldavis1258 yes its okay,I don't mind😊😊
@@simplyivy7458 Thank you for accepting me as your friend. Nice to meet on here. Where are you from?
“I hope that every breath you take- you remember- that’s every breath you stole.” Said so beautifully.
Wow, powerful speech. Definitely hits home. 😢
We need more good people like this brave lady, her husband, and father-in-law.
You can tell she takes her oath to the Constitution seriously. She is definitely a hero!!
No words, just tears.
The fact that she's still here solely means she not a coward. It takes a strong person to go through a loss and still be fighting the good fight.
She spoke so eloquently, you can feel her pain. My heart goes out to all of us who’ve lost a loved one before their time. Our time here is so short, if you have a desire to become violent know that’s there are people out there who want to help and support you.
Our pain isn’t a reason to cause pain to others❤
I’ve never seen a judge express such empathy and love to a victim. I’m crying so hard.
The biggest takeaway I have gotten from following this trial, the Amber Heard proceedings, the Darrell Brooks trial and a few others is the incredible level of disrespect that is shown on the part of lawyers, especially male lawyers (or Brooks, since he represented himself) toward female judges. That whole defense team, plus Gordon Weeks should have been cited for contempt of court long ago. This judge has done a remarkable job of not allowing the defense the slightest grounds for a mistrial.
I served in the Navy for 8 years as well, from 1997 to 2005. Four different ships, 2 ship decommissionings, three deployments-two of which were in a combat zone in the Red Sea. I salute you darling and your dad, I hope our Lord brings you the most blessed peace and blessings.
I am going to serve in navy soon
Anyways thanks for your service
@@60tpbrrrrtgaming what job are they going to put you in the Navy as?
Thank you for your service🙏🙏🇺🇸
Thank you judge for giving these victims families the words they deserve to hear and kindness
“I hope that every breath you take you remember that that’s a breath you stole” 💔
It takes courage to stand up and relive the pain
I’m sorry the one that got me with chills and tear instantly is the boy who yelled “I miss him” breaks me every time
You could feel her pain, almost as if you were impacted as well. You could hear her emotions and grief. That's what brought me to tears.
I adore her courage, as a service member myself I 🙏 when its my time to deploy I don’t receive bad news. I 🙏 these families find the peace they deserve .
That's true my dear 😘 . Can we be friends if you don't mind.
Staying away from it, is not cowardly.
I saw only one coward there, and he will forever burn in the depths of hell.
I am so glad the Judge corrected her after she called herself a coward. As she was saying she was a coward I was mentally arguing with her saying she's not a coward, everyone handles grief differently. Speaking up in the courtroom like she did PROVES that she's not a coward.
The defendant shows zero emotion; zero remorse.
I LOVE this woman, as well as many of the others that spoke!!! Blessings on them, and I pray they are able to find some sense of peace. I am thankful the judge spoke to her at the end of her statement!!! She spoke for many of us.
The judge heard her call herself a coward and she wanted to jump in and interrupt her right then and tell her NO YOU ARE NOT.
This judge has been aces this whole trial very class act.
This was so touching. Thank you for your service and thank you for the wonderful words you've shared with us about Mr. Hixon. He will always be remembered for the hero and incredible man he was.
Oh my sweet dear. I cant even imagine!!!!! No prayers can even ease your pain. But my family will try.. as we pray over your family!!!! You are a strong woman and such a hero!!!
Hello Nina, how are you. Prayer 🙏 is the key and God answers all prayer's and God will surely answer her.
Salute to this brave woman. Strong. A treasure to our great nation. I am sorry for your tragic loss. May you think of your family and father in law and smile and be joyful for his place in your heart, one day, soon.
He is just sitting there with no emotions in his face I don't know this lady and I have said tears and very emotional why in the hell did the jury that him live he doesn't deserve a life maybe when he gets to prison they'll take care of that for everyone
I dunno why so many are so hung up on the death penalty but even if he got that he'd still be sitting in prison for at least 30+ years.
@@someoneout-there2165 ur probs the 1 juror that held out
@@someoneout-there2165 the legal system should have done their job and not relied on someone else to do their job and then forfeit their life for this piece of garbage. It was the one job of the jury the families begged for. Not everytime do families want the DP but these families still do. They feel cheated out of a life with their family member and now cheated out of justice for their losses. And don’t think Cruz can’t ever be released because there’s criminals all over the US who’ve been. Released for multiple unaliving incidents.
Warren
You again lol. No, originally it was ONE juror. Then the two other morons switched sides like memtally challenge disortor kids who have zero personality of their own. Our society has truly took a deep dive. People are far too weak and unintelligent to make the right decisions anymore.
I felt every single word R.I.P. to the victims
Oh sweetheart (Miss Hixon)
You touched my heart
I cannot find the right words
I feel all that you are saying in my body
I hate this pain sweet young lady
Thank you for sharing such lovely words and descriptions of your dad!!!!
May your heart heal❤
So sad for these families! God bless these wonderful people!
wow Im crying. Jesus that was power ful. The judge is correct.
Wow, brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for your service and may God be with your family!

Sorry for your losses.
Can’t imagine the weight they are left with.
May peace be within all of you ,God bless ....

Bless you, young woman! Prayers for every family member involved.
This woman outclassed the Defense COUNSEL, HANDS DOWN. I for one hope that those jurors who did not vote for the death sentence hear every word that these families are saying. And I do hold them accountable for not upholding the law. The defense counsel was like watching a horror movie where the bad guy wins. Those jurors that did not vote for the death sentence were led astray through dramatics and lies fed to them by the lead counsel on the defense team. I better never ever see defense counsel appear on any news interviews or have the audacity to write any type of books! If that were to happen, I hope that their law firm would fire their sorry asses.
Good for this judge for her compassion and discernment in this case.
He's stone cold. not a single tear
If he were capable of having appropriate emotion he wouldn’t have committed this heinous crime.
If he were capable of having appropriate emotions AT ALL, he could possibly show some.
This is an individual damaged past the point of no return .
Thank god he will be locked away from society forever . Eventually , when he wants something , he will start showing some emotion- they all do- but it will be a learned imitation of emotion - to benefit himself.
Narcissistic psychopath .
@@bigred4379 You got that right!
This entire family is so impressive.
What a strong woman, thank you for your service. Much love ❤️
What I love about this Judge... When the families have their impact statement... This Judge ALLOWED each person who spoke to say exactly what they wanted to say... The words they wanted to use. Most I've seen Judges won't allow people to use the language they used. Thank you Judge. This piece of crap needed to hear what these parents have to endure for life.
An absolute hero. Thank you for your service. My heart goes to you and every single victim of these devilish tragedies of the past almost 30 years of this.
Wow ! That was powerful !
💔 🥺 So utterly heartbreaking....
Wow that was hard to watch and when a judge says something like that to a victim, that’s huge.
This statement touched my heart and the defendant did not show a ounce of remorse
Thank you for your service
In your opinion maybe and it’s an* ounce not a ounce
Feels sad. Especially as a service member, I have greatest sympathy for her 😢
Such a powerful testimony. I'm blown away.
I’m so sorry for what you have gone through no one should have to go through this especially when your away protecting your County x

Beautiful tribute to a loving and much-loved man. I'm so glad the wonderful son he raised so well, is comforting his daughter-in-law, as they all endure his terrible loss.
The judge is a class act, and the fact the defence attorneys dared challenge her authority during these proceedings is further evidence they are a disgrace and not fit to practice law!
