Three jurors were spared from the death penalty of convicted Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz because they urged life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. In February 2018, Cruz shot and killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Cruz, 24, a 2021 native of Cruz, pleaded guilty to the murders. Several jurors came forward to talk about their experiences after the trial concluded. One member of the jury explained how pro-death penalty panelists portrayed graphic images to the holdouts and even took the actual AR-15 assault rifle used by Cruz into the deliberation chamber. Although the foreman said in an interview that there was one "hard no" who could not be swayed among the jurors, he was not swayed among the jury. In the end, two others voted with Cruz's life. Several videos and photos from the massacre and its aftermath, emotional testimony from victims' families, and a tour of the now blood-spattered building were included in the three-month trial. After deliberating for about seven hours over two days, the jury denied the death penalty 9-3. Death sentences in Florida must be unanimous. The jury had to vote for life in prison, among other things, such as untreated childhood issues resulting from his birth mother's heavy drinking during pregnancy.

Scores of well-wishers shed tears as they assembled to watch the screens in and around Windsor Castle, but there was a brief blipsi as the coffin entered Westminster Abbey.

ICHARD LITTLEJOHN: You will now sit down, gentlemen of the jury, and carefully consider your decision, "Not Guilty" was returned. In their enthralling parody of the Jeremy Thorpe trial, spoken by the late, great Peter Cook and written by the equally late, great Christopher Booker, who was occasionally of this parish. The modern Establishment does not want to praise a former party leader but rather bury him. The decision was delayed a bit once more. Boris is guilty as charged, and he must be led to the Tower and hanged by the neck until death. The Establishment has chosen to display his head on a pike rather than circling the wagons to defend one of their own.
