Parkland School Gunman To Get Life Sentence For Killing 17

The jury recommended life imprisonment without parole for Nicholas Cruz, who killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The decision was based on the presence of aggravating factors, but at least one juror found mitigating circumstances, preventing a death sentence. The defense argued Cruz's neurodevelopmental disorders and age as mitigating factors. The official sentencing will occur later, allowing families to express their views. The case has been emotionally taxing for the families, who have been involved in the lengthy legal process.
