Gina's parents have me in tears. My heart hurts so much for the family and friends that have been affected.
His male lawyer looks like as if he wished he were on a solitary island in the middle of the Pacific… right now.
So painful. I’m heartbroken for those families. ❤️
A silver lining.. @1:19:36 when court is in recess. all the victim’s families get up and congregate. Look how they approach each other. It gives me joy to see while 17 families are broken, you can see them creating this one big giant family to help the pain. I just hope everyone is able to go forward.
My heart aches for all of the family members.My family and I sat in a court room for our daughters killers.So I truly do know their pain.God bless them all.
Oh wow I’m so so sorry to hear that I know that had to be gut renching
@EllenVirgillo Please accept our deepest condolences, Ellen. I pray you have been able to find any sort of peace.🙏🏼❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Ellen Virgillo---I hope you can always find the strength to carry on. Do this for the daughter who was stolen from you.
I'm sorry for the your loss of your daughter.
The lack of remorse is astonishing. No emotional reaction at all. He really doesn't care.
Cruz must of been bullied alot. Psychological inflictions of strife daily causes a person to be devoid of emotion.
@@johnpalmer5800 He might be legitimate sociopath. Playing with dead animals and
assaulting his mother at a young age---that goes beyond the trauma of bullying.
I keep wondering why he keeps passing notes to the attorneys.
Probably playing TicTacToe. 😜
Most likely an attempt at trying to look busy/engaged to the jury.
Because he is a evil freak, and might be wanting a Big Mac with fries for lunch.
Seems like whichever defense attorney sits next to Cruz during parent testimony starts to cry.
His lawyers seem completely disinterested in him. He’s scribbling messages to them which are frankly completely worthless. The little freak is so deluded.
Waste of life

@@Sayre777 💯 agree!!!
It hurts me so much to hear the relatives of the murdered, God be with them in their suffering
I feel there's no justice. Because the damage is already done, I really hope one day the family will heal from this 🙏
no matter what happens to him it wont bring those poor kids back this world is a messed up place.
Those people wear their pain on their face and voice. It is hard to watch. May the lord bless them with peace and comfort. 🙏🏻🌺
U wanna see real tears and pain. Watch the Larry Nassar victim impact statements to see the difference
@@bobbyr2972 oh no…not another one of you claiming this is all fake 🤦♂️🤦♂️
I just can’t imagine- oh my word. Blessings to all these precious souls taken and for their families.
The audio with the judge is low you need to bring that up Thank you
Lots of strength by the families, I definitely could not be in that court room.
Same cuz I would have went after that monster in the court room. And not stop till he I put him out too
I can’t imagine the horror either! I feel that I would have to show support of my child by being there ; perhaps a feeling that is the least I could do.. show up. I am furious at the fact that defendant is not handcuffed, or restrained and has the freedom to draw, doodle, whisper question or comments to his lawyers, drinking his water or coffee. Nobody in the courtroom is allowed to do those things but the guy who slaughtered 17 innocent human beings!
Love the Judge, she wasn't going to let the attack on the police officer slide! My heart also breaks for these families 💔💔
where is that at? timestamp?
@@tasenova2717 I think she meant when that demon's defense attorney was blubbering when he attacked the police officer.
Many of us tuning in to this trial have been affected by the horror of this crime. I cannot imagine how this exposure is endured by all those who need to be there to ensure a fair trial. You are my heroes.
What a beautiful poem 😭
There is absolutely nothing they could do to Mr Cruz that would take the pain heartache hurt the devastation that he caused all these people to go away. If things could be different he should have taken his own life if he hated this world and everyone so much it would have been simpler and far better for everyone to lose one soul then all of the souls he took.
I agree he should have taken his own life if he hated everyone and this world…
No if he hated this world he should of kept looking for a better psychologist cuz there is a a lot of bureaucratic greedy narcissistic psychologist out there I was lucky I found a nice one that helped me truly rehabilitate but I went through a lot of bad ones before I found a good one Nick didn't really have the support he needed he lost hope that anybody would care about him and took it out on some kids which is wrong of course but it teaches us that we really need to change our system and we need to get it mandated in all schools to have anti-bullying classes and to teach students in these classes how to support a kid who's going to a mental health crisis instead of making fun of them I mean you have to set boundaries with them of course but you don't have to make them feel like they're a monster when they just need help it makes all the difference when I acted out when I was getting severely abused some neighbors called me names called me demon child and that just made me want to act out more but there were some neighbors that were really nice to me despite I acted out they knew I was getting abused and they were nice to me anyways and that made me think wow they're being nice to me even though I've been destructive and it made me want to stop being destructive they gave me hope and I apologized and whatever bad I did I made up for forgiveness is the key to peace in life amongst our neighbors don't get me wrong it deserves a long time in jail for what he did probably life in jail asserting the amount of people you killed but he still needs Rehabilitation and he needs forgiveness so that he will stop harming people and feel peace inside his soul everybody needs that he needs to feel accepted into this world if you tell someone they're a monster they're going to likely act like a monster this is in Psychology plus I experienced it I was very fortunate to find some caring people Nick did not get that
My aunt kept looking for counselors until she found a good one for me his mom next mom should have kept trying and made sure he got a good one cuz the one he had is getting sued right now for taking him out of the mental health school and putting him in a regular school when he's not ready
@@jasminefrichtl806 but on the contrary Cruz continues to be a threat. Even in jail he attacks a Corrections Officer. Does he not bare any responsibility for change? To me he cannot be rehabilitated.
Our kids need to be mentally evaluated every year they are in school. ALL STAFF need to keep a close eye on all the children. Staff and children need to be taught to go to an adult/someone who cares and is in charge, to tell of any threats made or “seemingly harmless” comments made.
People forget that mental health is just as important to take care of as our physical health.
I also believe that our schools need to be like our courthouses- just as a courthouse holds precious people, our schools hold the most precious of all- our children, they are our future! These changes must be made to stop some of this insanity, now!!
This is so sad 😞
Not only do i feel sad for the family and dead and wounded when i saw Nicks lawyer cry i thought wow even they know that guy did wrong and deserves the worst people make me wonder why do they do things
Deeply heartbreaking 💔
I can’t believe how he acted in the interrogation.. he was worried about himself and now that he’s on trial he’s trying to act ashamed of himself. We all saw the videos he made before. He left the scene with no shock or remorse and even asked a VICTIMS BROTHER for a ride. He wanted this and now he’s reliving it and probably enjoying it
My whole heart and soul aches for these families
I can’t even imagine that kind of pain
I understand both sides of this argument. Who needs to decide if the shooter lives or dies? That would be the parents of his victims. They have spoken & they want him to be put down.
Prayers for you 🙏 I feel your pain with you, so sooo sorry 😭 ❤️🩹
Do we have a date for sentencing?
This murderer will be locked away and forgotten, he’s already dead his victims are immortal …
Actually his victims are really very dead and he's still alive. That's what's wrong with this situation.
This is heartbreaking those poor families
It feels so wrong to see ads on this heartbreaking video. No one should ever have to be as strong as the victims families and friends are.
Can anyone will tell me when is the verdict?
Will the walk through of the crime scene be shown to the public? I assume not, just wondering if anyone knows
No
Im crying so much listening to these testimonies. Im so heartbroken for these people. This was so incredibly senseless and selfish.
But no one in the room is crying.
@@bobbyr2972 the families were instructed by the court to manage their emotions as much as possible so they wouldn’t influence the jury. I don’t know if that applies to the other staff. The defense attorney for the killer was crying during a testimony.
THIS IS SO DAM SAD😥 I LIVE IN PARKLAND FL. AND MY DAUGHTER WAS AN 8TH GRADER WHEN THIS HAPPENED.....SHE WAS TERRIFIED TO HAVE TO GO TO DOUGLAS THE FOLLOWING YEAR😥
THIS BREAK MY HEART TO HERE THIS
He shouldbt be allowed to write on a note pad
Listening to these stories about these children it just tearing me apart and I'm not even on the jury. This is so heartbreaking so unbelievably emotional
Me too!
My heart breaks for all these beautiful family’s I so sad and morn you losses bless you all xx🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️🦋
No remorse whatsoever & no change of expression, just a look of numbness ❗️
I wonder if in his head he’s replaying the terrible memories of the moments he killed and feels just an ounce of remorse… then again from what I heard he has no regret
He is enjoying his “accomplishments.”
It’s just so strange that he (Cruz) always seems to have this wide-eyed, bewildered/ shocked look. What’s up with that?
All arguing and debating aside I would be lying if I said I’m not enthusiastically looking forward to the day when this trial ends and we can collectively agree to pretend he doesn’t exist.
He keeps looking so desperately for the families to look at him when they leave the stand. He deserves zero more attention.
They should be demanding that he look at them when they’re talking! Instead he’s covering his ears, looking down, drawing, talking to his lawyer and ignoring the family members! He hasn’t looked at them once! Not sure what videos you’ve been watching. Nicholas Cruz needs the death penalty! He’s a waste of air space!
@@rebeccaspinoso8072 he’s absolutely avoiding attending his own trial when his own actions are being displayed. He doesn’t like hearing the gun shots he himself created, the terrifying kids whispers and moans but watch him as each family member leaves the stand.
I think he’s playing a psychological game regarding wearing that mask, too. I think he used it to hide during the more difficult parts of the trial for him and now, he’s not wearing it- Any thoughts guys?
@Small Town Girl Big City Heart I agree.
My heart aches for the parents so so sensless this shooting nick had issues but killng the students was not the answer give him life no parole all the kids did was go to school that day to learn i am so saddend by this
Pure evil
I hope her and Judge Dorrow are able to get a nice vacation.
To all the families, we have not forgotten, I stood outside a school for 4 hours until my niece ran to me. I cannot fathom her not walking out. I can't imagine but yet I do know a little of what you feel. May you all know you are not forgotten, these Heroes are not forgotten. YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN.
May the 17 fly high and rest peaceful until we all meet again...
To all those affected in one way or another, there are no words but I hope you have found a way to cope and heal somehow.
Bless you whether you believe in God, The Universe, Buddha, etc.
This kid sits there with a slew of lawyers to defend him. Meanwhile people who have committed crimes who simply made a mistake and not only have redeeming qualities but can also be rehabilitated and contribute to society are given at best shoddy representation then thrown under the bus.
Jury Rules: Crime scene may be too traumatic for jurors, according to defense attorneys. Surely not as traumatic as it was for the students who were massacred on that day. In fact, why not let Cruz be the guide of jurors of crime scene? He knows it better than anyone else.There's a point where you can no longer pretend you are not human.
I was thinking the same.
Colombian police actually made one of the worst serial killers ever lead them exactly to where he murdered and buried his victims.
They dug up the remains of like 100 victims like this. They even gave him a lesser punishment because he did this..
He refuses to go on the tour at the school. He should be made to go!! My heart hurts for each and every parent, brother, sister, friends and all the others that has been affected by this awful massacre!!! No sentence will ever be enough!!
That defense team was despicable.
I tell you who I just love is Max Schachter. I mean I love all these families! They are a very strong group of people.
I get that a defense attorney has a job to do… but I couldn’t do that job!
What exactly is the point in the jury going to the classroom? I feel like they are stretching this case out to much.
This is all in effort to help them determine proper punishment. Life without parole or death. Preferably death.
this trial will take time because of the number of individuals involved ie the family, students, friends, first responders, medical examiners, law enforcement, each will talk about the crime, its impact & findings all which need to be noted in order for the jury to determine where he will receive life or death
What kind of person will Cruz become after all that time in jail. I can't imagine.
I hope we never find out
I don’t think one can get any lower or worse than what he already is.
Who cares. He’s never seeing the light of day again. Once things calm down a bit, he’ll be dealt with internally in the system.
The thing that's sad about all of this is that he can't fix what he did wrong. If I were him, the only thing I'd do for the rest of my days on the planet is remain quiet and just pray all of the time. I wouldn't want to bring more children into the world because, if he does, what he did will come back to haunt them. It's tough enough to acknowledge the truth about bad things that maybe someone has done, but something like this is inescapable. I guess he got caught in the devil's snare.
He’s in jail how tf would he bring more children into this world?
2:32 So they can't ask "where's the restroom"? That's a room, isn't it?
How the heck is this judge containing and controlling yourself this case must be tearing her up inside and I know she must be s******* some tears and feeling the pain of the agony of the parents nightmare. How could you not take all that emotional aspect of it
She’s a mom of a girl around high school age too.. you can see it in her face, I think she’s an incredible judge the way she’s be able to maintain her composure.
@@christakaratza9670 Agreed
I really wish they wouldn't show his damn face anymore.
He makes my skin crawls especially when he's writing and sometimes drinking what looks like coffee 😡🤬
Crying so much...
You're not alone, It got to me as well.
All of this pure destruction and unspeakable pain, all because of one decision Nicolas Cruz made on Feb 14th, 2018. One decision- So Senseless.
I have been following this trial from the start from London England. These poor families who are speaking about their loved ones who Cruzs Murdered is so heartbreaking 14 yrs of age the state Lawyers are really doing their job talking about Cruz when he attacked the officer and took he’s taser Cruz just sitting there head down showing no remorse for what he had done hard stone face if the families had the chance they would have beaten Cruz which he deserved that’s why there is all the balliffs. So So heartbreaking listening to these poor families May All The Angels fly High. God Bless All The Families. Cruz saying the demons were talking to him that’s why he done what he did load of Rubbish and he’s mental health he’s been in trouble with the police from a young age🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Definitely a violent crime against guard. What is the Defense team drinking?
Wtf is this ? It's impossible theres no tears. Where are they?
Que de por vida esté en prision, que nunca pueda ver el sol, ni el cielo, que coma todos los días la misma comida, que esté en un cuarto de 2x2 metros, que no hable con nadie, que no tenga acceso a libros, que esté solo con sus propios pensamientos, eso sería el infierno y es Justo lo que merece
This story is a tragedy on either way 😒

Ten proces kosztuje tyle pieniędzy które mogły by pomóc nie jedynej rodzinie, sądzimy coś co jest potworem, tu nie ma wybacz tu powinno być rozstrzelanie publiczne tak jestem świadoma swoich słów ten potwór nie zasługuje na proces.
his Judge is a Mess!
Defense: use a Bobbie pin on both sides.
I feel for these family's loss but the death penalty has not bring down crimes the way are jails are make people worse & most U.S. rehabilitation programs are horrible Netherlands has one of the lowest crime rates & shortest jail times & best rehabilitation programs at the end you have to ask yourself is Revenge more important or rehabilitating and preventing less crime more important and trust me a long jail sentence is plenty punishment enough being in jail for 2 months feels like a year time feels different in jail especially when you don't get to go outside like some inmates don't if they're too dangerous to be around others
They don’t want to rehabilitate him. He doesn’t deserve life outside that prison. He wanted to see their families in pain he said himself. He deserves death or at the very least life in prison because he decided to be executioner to 17 people. Nothing you say will negate those facts. It isn’t revenge it is justice that he gets exactly what he dished out. Great for the Netherlands but if they’re letting “rehabilitated” mass shooters out of jail something’s wrong with your brains. It doesn’t matter if he won’t do it again. He did the crime 10 times over and doesn’t deserve to see the light of day ever again.
I really think he's beyond rehabilitation.
The issue is can he be rehabilitated and he cannot, Death penalty is waranted in this case.
Does all the past stuff matter? His options were DP or life with out parole. Jury voted no death penalty.
Man Oman I can’t get my head around that people live a llife than throw it a way just to be in prison and see Mr bubba
Also, people, please understand, they have to give him legal counsel if he asks. It's the law. They have to defend him no matter their stance.
They more than likely didn't want to do this! They have no choice.
I cannot understand why fire arms are so readily available to young adults and children 😫 there should be a strict or age on issuing weapons to young adult
Firearms are the last step in a long series of total failures by any sort of authoritative body. There is something very seriously going wrong in the neurochemistry of young men in this country, and firearm prohibition is not going to change this
I would never do anything like what he did, but there are a lot of them out there, and some of them are even in high positions of authority and they have never been discovered. Think about what James D'Angelo (The Golden State Killer) did. Had the one clever detective never decided to pursue him, people would've never known who committed those horrible crimes. I think people do need to start changing their views about people with titles. A prestigious title doesn't guarantee that the person who's attached to it is a good person. I think there was probably a time when Nikolas could have been reached. It's sad. Our government should step into state affairs, abolish at-will employment, and replace the bad people in the schools with good ones. School systems should be regulated by the government and not the state, and even if taxes are raised up a little to pay for it, I think it would be worth it to hire qualified counselors and psychologists to come into the schools and help the troubled kids. I think it would save a lot of lives, and it would improve the future for us all. People can change, but it takes other caring people to make that happen.
Posts add of gun violence video game . Way to go RUclips
Has Cruz shed a tear?
As you can tell he is worried ONLY if he'll get death or life in prison.
He is truly a vicious demon!
Not that I'm aware of. 😒
No he hasn't. He should get the death penalty.
No
Bro went from 👹 to 🤓
If he attacked a officer watching him.that is armed just think how he would be to his prison mates !
I really like this judge
Sick kid wanted to see the suffer of victims Family's, they delivered that to him, and millions of tax money on top gone. Americans need a new mordenized justice system. This is hard to watch, dumbest circuit event ever seen.
I deleted my first comment….. too inflammatory. Plastic chippers are not an appropriate reference. This Judge rocks!
Watch earlier vids.
I can look at All those parents Faces an almost see what there Feeling most of them want
A real person , not an actor can't hold in tears
@@bobbyr2972 haha there he is. The nut!!

Life w/o parole. I could’ve been a judge
it's between life without parole and death. They are here to decide the death penalty.
@Boston Gal u right. The judge only recite from mandatory sentencing guidelines, once vervict is in.
@@AnneHC i made my ruling already “Life w/o..”
Möchte erne wisen,ws er immer geschrieben hat
Our justice system is a joke, retraumatizes victims and communties and has moved far away from its original design. Justice Delayed is Justice Denied and the Right to a Speedy Trial. The reasons behind this distinguish us as a Democracy. We don't allow people to wallow in jail nor do we force victims and an entire community to wait 4 years before justice is served. It's too late. We've moved on. This is a meaningless show. Let em go. Not to mention we have a high strung judge who apparently is Googling the law as we go along. Ridiculous.

After death the hand of God will send him for more cooking. The sooner he’s sent, the sooner Justice can be carried out
Very sad and traumatic.
Unfortunately, when God is kicked out the country, where it is illegal to spank or punish children to correct them, where children grow up without knowing God and Godly ways, what else can be expected?
All those who have lost their loved ones, will never get them back by incarcerating this guy.
On the other hand, had God had a place in peoples' lives, thus could well have been averted.
I see the racist don't comment on this stuff
U wanna see real emotion and pain? Watch the Larry Nassar victim impact statements.
That judge is fine
The judges eye makeup though
Why does the camera always point at the guy in audience with gray hair that makes weird facial expressions every time it goes to him anybody know why?
Michael He's one of the parents of a victim and he's very emotional. He also tries to support other parents. The camera operator should not keep focusing on him, it's very hard and overwhelming.
Agree there other parents there and victims and the camera just goes straight to him every time. It’s his face expressions that gets on my nerves

What about the black texas school shooter he git let off because he said he was bullied. Turn out it was about gangs and saling drugs
Wrong is wrong no matter the color , you’re part of the problem
What Black shooter? Where, No News about that here, When did that happen
I can't tell if English is a 2nd language for you or if you're just that uneducated. Care to clarify?
Hey I'm from Texas. What black school shooter? The only school shooting we have had recently was the uvalde one. That was all Hispanics.
Why are you spreading misinformation? And stop with whataboutism ! This is an ongoing trial in Florida. Why do you want Texas shooting here !
Overkill
