      Me too. I cried several times during his statement, and then balled my eyes out more after. I just can't believe what's going on in our world now. Kids bringing guns to school to get revenge or whatever it is their seeking. I'll never forget Columbine and all the others, especially this one... So fresh.

He's hurt, he's angry, and the words he used towards Cruz was what he felt when he was writing his victim impact statement. I also believe eye for an eye. He let out some of his hurt by verbalizing it towards the killer of his child.

      It was supposed to be a total of 13 votes to make the death penalty happen.

      If there is no or inaction defense team on behalf of the murderer. the court will be faulted and charged for unfair judgement. The defense team HAVE to do their job, they cannot just screw over their client just because he is a mass murderer. The defense team probably don't want to do this, but it is their obligation and duty to defend and help their client, and gaining experience from extremely difficult case. The defense team don't just defend the killer, but also the innocents.
      If you never know a lawyer, you would curse them. They can actually charged you for court of contempt for threatening them, but choose to take it and move on with their day. Lawyers work crunch time, travel from court to court. Work day in and day out. Defense team who defend mass murderers are probably not the most well paid, as the family probably refuse to help the mass murderer at this point, so public funding have to be provided to the defense team, which let's be real, isn't a lot.

But I do know what the inside of the private prisons in Florida look like, and I have a good idea of what prison he's going to end up in. He's going to suffer infinitely more doing life in a private Florida prison, than sitting on death row in a government run Florida prison.

    I remember when this happened, where I was. I admit I didn't follow this trial, but the heart of this father hit me hard. Knowing law was his profession and passion then having to stand and face the animal that wrecked his world just made this so much more heavy. I am so grateful the judge allowed him to speak in the manner he did. (Even when it was explicit at times) That was a rough, yet necessary verbal berating of Cruz. Praying for long-term peace to these families and all affected by this evil.

  • @Itzyhani

    Immediately when he started speaking I sobbed. Most people can’t imagine what these families have gone through and will go through. Unfortunately I can not only imagine but remember vividly the emotions, physical pain, and anxiety from my own experience. When my brother was murdered in my senior year of high school I thought that was as bad as things could get. Then you enter a courtroom and have to be immersed in the worst day of your life over and over again. The defense repeatedly assassinated my brothers character and devalued him as a person trying to defend the indefensible. They called him a thug, brought up his past, and even blamed him for his own death. They were allowed to represent my loving, protective, and amazing brother as being a criminal who “ lived by the sword and died by the sword!” There is nothing worse the sitting next to the coward who changed your life and listening to people make excuses for him. To have the defense beg for mercy so that this killer could see his family and friends again. Only to hear a sentence that is not fair and receive no justice. We went back repeatedly to do our victims impact statements and every time those same unhealed wounds would be ripped open again. I’m so happy this monster will never be free again. I could not imagine anyone sharing the pain our family will share when my brothers killer soon walks free.
    To the families we stand with you! You are brave and your are strong!
    Rest in peace to all of the love ones you lost!
    RIP Terrance Moore
    I still feel your presence watching over me and my son! Even though you never got to meet him, I see so much of you in his eyes! You will forever be missed. P2D1T2 always!

I don’t think our age is worse than the time of Nimrod or what is seen in Rome, but rather very similar sounds like a commentary on our times! Mankind doesn’t change.

It is disheartening to see individuals belittling these victims' families. It is impossible for anyone to truly understand the pain and suffering they are going through. We must refrain from telling them how to mourn or how to feel. The loss of their loved ones was a senseless and violent act, and we must show them compassion and support during this difficult time.
