DeSantis reacts to Parkland shooter life sentence: ‘You deserve the death penalty’ – By Bradford Betz (FOX News) / Oct 13, 2022
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz is being treated the same as criminals who broke the law but not on the order of premeditated mass killing
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday weighed in on the life sentence verdict of Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz, saying the death penalty would have been more appropriate.
“I think that if you have a death penalty at all, that that is a case, where you’re massacring those students, with premeditation and utter disregard for humanity, that you deserve the death penalty,” DeSantis said during a press conference.
The jury’s decision came after seven hours of deliberations over two days, ending a three-month trial that included graphic videos and photos from the massacre and its aftermath, heart-wrenching testimony from victims’ family members and a tour of the still blood-spattered building. The decision left many families of the victims angered, baffled and in tears.
