Florida School Shooter Pleads Guilty For Killing 17 Students And Teachers by CampussNews(op): 5:59pm On Oct 20, 2021
Update from

Nikolas Cruz, serial shooter in Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that left 17 students and teachers dead and 17 others sustaining serious injuries have pleaded guilty of murder and attempted murder to a Florida high court, Siggy discloses.

Then 19, Cruz entered the Parkland, Florida secondary school with a legally bought semiautomatic weapon and killed 17 people on Valentines' Day 2018.

Mobile phone footage filmed by survivors showed Cruz warning his victims: "You're all going to die."

Judge Elizabeth Scherer read the victim's names one by one as he repeated "guilty" after every one. That included the 14 students he killed, 3 teachers and 17 shooting victims who survived the onslaught. Cruz's guilty plea will help him in his effort to avoid the death penalty.

From the beginning of the trial three years ago, Cruz's lawyer said he would plead guilty in order to seek life imprisonment - rather than death.

State attorney Michael J Satz said he will be pursuing the death penalty. Legal experts believe a guilty plea can help avoid that fate.

Cruz told the court he was truly sorry for the shootings. He addressed the judge and said, "I am very sorry for what I did and have to live with it every day."If I were to get a second chance, I would do everything in my power to help others."

The new charges add to Cruz's legal problems after he attacked a prison guard. Cruz was given a 26-year sentence last week for attacking a jailhouse guard nine months after the school shooting. That ruling could be an "aggravating factor" behind giving Cruz the death penalty.
