Parkland fireworks: Judge EXPLODES on Nikolas Cruz lawyer for bringing up HER children

Parkland trial Judge Elizabeth Scherer went ballistic on Nikolas Cruz's lawyer who objected to statements from victim family members criticizing the defense team and making reference to their children. During the argument, Cruz's attorney rhetorically asked the judge how she would feel if it were her children being brought up, and the judge snapped at the attorney and had him removed from the defense table and sent to the back of the courtroom.

"No one in this courtroom had to endure what we had to endure." In front of the victims. Unbelievable.

[Reddenbocher]

For the defense to express ‘no one in this court as had to endure what we’ve had to endure’ while the victim’s families sit there is a level of evil I can’t comprehend.

It must be humiliating for a grown man to be sent to the naughty corner.

She told him to sit down 10 times & he still ignored her is wild & highly Insubordination. Imagine if she was Judge Judy lol everybody going to jail

[mattmansarizona]

It's amazing how many times a judge needs to repeat themselves these days. It's like they're talking to children.

[KushbiZ]

….bringing up the judges children in any context in court is probably the dumbest thing I’ve heard a lawyer say.

[bigdee]

These were the most disgusting, unprofessional, rude, obnoxious defense attorneys I've ever seen, and I've worked more than enough court cases in my decades in law!! They give lawyers, as a whole, a big black eye!!

[miafigueiredoxo]

I have never seen such disrespect for a judge. Absolutely mind blowing

[mattdrake]

"No one in this courtroom has had to endure what we had to endure". With victim families in the courtroom. Unbeleivable.

[jesperkjaer]

The strangest thing here is, that the lawyers actually think their behaviour helps their client.

[kswartout]

I’m shocked she didn’t hold either of them in contempt

[robertgallentine]

I can't believe she didn't throw either of them into contempt. That's insanity.

[franklinegbuche]

I'm shocked the judge had to repeat herself severally. She gave them too many privileges.

[claireelizabeth]

The audacity for any of them to be talking about their children in front of families who lost their children in the most brutal horrible way

[CrazyGuy]

Bro was was sent to the principals office as an adult😂😂😂😂

[johnwoods]

She was too lenient. The judge should have but both lawyers in jail and fine them for contempt of court.

“No one in this court has had to go through what we have had to go through” says a guy whose kid wasn’t gunned down in a school

[annmittelstadt]

Just because she is a young Judge, doesn't mean they think they can talk to her that way. Shame on them.

[masonr]

Soon as the attorney refused to not comply with the Judges orders, she should have held them in contempt of court.

[LindseyObrooke]

I wish she was MEANER. It's been heart wrenching to watch the families speak.
