Prosecutors in Parkland school shooter case say attorneys ‘misled the court’ on day defense rested

Prosecutors in the Parkland school shooter sentencing trial got more specific in their newest response to the defense team’s motion to disqualify the current presiding judge, saying the defense attorneys “misled the court.”

I like this judge, she’s calling out the bullshit as she sees it. The defense team just doesn’t like it, that’s all.

[ginact]

Is the Judge wrong? No! The defense is just so unprofessional.

[steveedward]

Insulted her in front of her mass murderer client. The judge just had enough baloney.

[lindacrespo]

OMG the judge is 100% correct!! The defense is ridiculous! PLEASE are they kidding

[kar]

bro murdered 17 people at school and they're worried about nikolas having a prejudice against him 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[BudgetandGrow]

I cannot believe the defense is pulling this, how disrespectful to the families, let’s not forget this is all about the victims and the impact of their losses. What a disgrace. I hope the motion is dismissed

[davidrouleau]

Defense team are the most unprofessional group of lawyers on this planet. They have made a mockery of the Justice ⚖️ system.

[mckaelyntennison]

Wow this better not be a mistrial. The defense is ludicrous. Who do they think they are fooling?

[c.erine]

That lawyer has not shown one ounce of respect for Judge Scherer or her courtroom this whole proceeding. She should take a good hard look at what we've seen. Toddler acts from a grown woman are very off-putting. She should recuse herself.

[katerinapatiniotis]

Man, the audacity of the defense team to disqualify a competent and fair judge just because she's doing her job properly and run her courtroom smoothly. Unbelievable! They're acting like angry teenagers who don't like their teacher just because she's strict.

[ExpressionWithKenya]

The defense team seems to be the issue

[theguy]

This defense team is horrendous as a defense attorney myself I am ashamed by their performance and obliviousness of courtroom etiquette.

[mollyjackson]

They want a mistrial so bad. Pathetic.

[lisaferez]

I sure hope his defense team does not get what the want. The judge and society at large are appalled. End this charade.

[lisachristine]

He asked for the death penalty. Let’s give him what he asked for and stop wasting everyone’s time and money !

[Sleepy__Joe__]

Imagine if Nicolas Cruz doesn't get the death penalty. He'll have the rest of his days spending his $430, 000 in prison.
I personally don't want him to enjoy his stay! While the taxpayer's have been burdened with his legal defense.

[Timmichanga]

You dont get to create or initiate conflict and then cry Foul. The defense made a calculated move that is a disservice to their client, the community and the court....Judge Sherer was right, they were playing a game.

[eliaszakharia]

"Mr Cruiz
WTF are you kidding me?! How about all the families and friends of all the victims? How about their suffer?!!! This is embarrassing

[gjh]

they know they are losing after the last witness and how state tore him down and how every witness from now on is going to have nothing good to say about nc.

[canadianmonte]

These malicious lawyers are warping the law in horrible ways. Time to start revoking law licenses.
