Sentencing trial kicks off for Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz

[NYPOST] The trial against Nikolas Cruz,

...pre-attack diagnoses of autism, anxiety, depression and significant psychological problems, described as a troubled kid obsessed with guns — the police came to the family home frequently to deal with him. Mr. Cruz was adopted at birth, then his adoptive father died when he was young, followed into the grave by his adoptive mother a few months before he ran amok. So really he was a classic school shooter. Interestingly, his biological sister Danielle Woodard, a decade older, is classified as a habitual violent offender...

the admitted gunman in the 2018 school massacre in Parkland, Fla., kicks off Monday — and jurors will decide whether he’ll be given the death penalty

or rot in prison instead.

The 12-person jury in Fort Lauderdale will not weigh whether Cruz is guilty in the case, since the mass shooter in October copped to killing 17 people at his former school, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, on Feb. 14, 2018.

Instead, the jury — which took nearly three months to select — will deliberate on whether Cruz should be sentenced to capital punishment or life in prison without parole. Only one juror needs to oppose the death penalty for Cruz to receive the lesser sentence of life behind bars.

If the armed officer on scene had done his job, the taxpayers and the victim families would not be providing room and board like #1 by Dron66046 suggests will likely happen.

#3 I'm tired of the mental issue being used to save these POS lives. If they are that crazy they need to be put down like a rabid dog.

#4 Highly unlikely he will ever be cured of his illness.

#5 Euthanizing the mentally ill. I think they tried that in Germany once...

#6 Not all of the mentally ill. Just the ones who commit mass murder.
