The appropriate sentence for Nicholas Cruz is the death penalty.

This morning, the fate of the Parkland, Florida school shooter is in the hands of a jury as the prosecution asks for death.

Closing arguments were heard yesterday in the trial of Nicolas Cruz, who pleaded guilty to shooting and killing 17 people, 14 students, and three teachers on Valentine's Day 2018 at his former school, Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High. The prosecutor insisted that execution is the only appropriate punishment for Crews, describing him as a coldblooded killer, hunting in the hallways for victims with a AR 15.

Fires the third shot and as she runs, he shoots her and severs her. Spinal cord and reminding the jury of Cruz's plan recorded before the murders meet. The next school, shoot her up in 2018.

The defense asked instead for a life sentence. Calling Cruz, now 24, broken, suffering from a brain disorder caused by his biological mother's, heavy drinking while pregnant, and claiming he did not get the care he needed from his adoptive mother. The defense claimed Crews took responsibility for his actions by pleading guilty. Defense to Nicholas for life is the right thing to do. The jury will be sequestered once deliberations start today. All twelve jurors must agree in order for Crews to be sentenced to death.
