Jurors in the Parkland trial toured the school building where shooter Nikolas Cruz killed 17 students and staff members on Valentine's Day in 2018. Withered roses and an abandoned teddy bear lay in the hallway next to large pools of dried blood. Nothing had been changed, except for the removal of the victims' bodies, because it was considered a court exhibit.
For three weeks jurors and family members have re-lived the terrible moments when the Parkland shooter entered Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. 14,.
It was a brutal and emotional end to the prosecution’s case against the confessed Parkland shooter. Jurors visited the school building where the massacre happened seeing with their own eyes the bloodstains and bullet holes preserved at the crime scene and heard the final victim impact statements from loved ones of those who were murdered.
State prosecutors wrapped up a dozen days of presenting tearful testimony and gruesome evidence in the sentencing trial of Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz.
A stuffed white teddy bear, dirty and discarded on the stairwell floor. Outside room 1215, dried blood stained the floor where three students were fatally shot.
