When he said “I spent my birthday planning my sons funeral” got me teary
My condolences to these families
Me too. I cried several times during his statement, and then balled my eyes out more after. I just can't believe what's going on in our world now. Kids bringing guns to school to get revenge or whatever it is their seeking. I'll never forget Columbine and all the others, especially this one... So fresh.
@@javedikram9499 Go away troll.
@@alandoyle3442 I don't mean to impose, but do you have children? If so, how would you feel standing in this man's shoes? He's hurt, he's angry, and the words he used towards Cruz was what he felt when he was writing his victim impact statement. I also believe eye for an eye. He let out some of his hurt by verbalizing it towards the killer of his child.
@Jimmy Jaime difference from being weak when u got a kid taken from u. U probably 11 years old anyways

@@drewski1535 lol fu, you don't even know what the word Nazi means u jews salve!
Calling that thing an “animal” is insulting to all the animals in the world. Animals protect their own, monsters don’t

1. Animals are not all protectors of their young. Some animals devour their offsprings.
2. Are you saying all humans must protect each other? If so, then where tf were you that day? Kinda loud to call him a monster from your couch 😂😂 foh
@@HanjaKosh lmao big facts, mans living in lala land
The judge was so real for letting him say all that
Mrs. Elizabeth Scherer showed mercy on this monster and spared his life.
No she didn’t she couldn’t give the death penalty if the jury voted against it@@prokastinatore
@@prokastinatore She still has to work within the confines of the law, regardless of her own feelings
@@prokastinatoreDude I don't think you know how the sentencing trial works.
It's the jury who gives the votes on the murderers fate and the judge reads the verdict. 12 out of 13 jurors voted for the death penalty while 1 voted for life in prison.
It was supposed to be a total of 13 votes to make the death penalty happen.
he shouldn’t have used profanity in court.
I’ve seen this man sitting in this courtroom daily. Silent. Same expression. To hear him speak today, about his life and loss from this horrible case was absolutely devastating. Truly heartbreaking. I hope that he and the other families will have justice one day soon.
I guess by "justice", you actually mean, blood thirsty revenge....?
@@jkjkjkkjkjk it’s not revenge. It’s Vengeance.
@@Kpoole35 it's not vengeance, it's batman.
@@jkjkjkkjkjk Imprisoning someone for murder is revenge? So what should they just be let go? You're an idiot. If he happens to get whacked in prison, that's on Cruz and other prisoners. And yeah its true that people who do what Cruz did usually have a hard time in prison.
I hope the other inmates teach him about sex, with great violence, and cruelty. That they pimp him off for cigarettes, and make the rest of his life a living Hell.
What an incredible impactful statement. Being a father myself I cannot imagine having to bury my son. My sincerest condolences go out to you and your wife.
We need to bring back corporal punishment. Screw this "cruel & unusual punishment" garbage!
Keeping him alive, feeding him and providing him healthcare is a waste of tax dollars, not to mention the very air he is breathing.
That POS is a shell. He doesn’t even blink. He’s empty. Hope he enjoys men:)
I would lose my mind, probably join the mob just so i could set up an inside hit on that POS.
@@malus1426 I disagree with you and believe he has every right to use his words and hopes to express his hate and anger towards the p...erson that murdered his son.
What really got me was when he said “no one wants to call my daughter on her birthday because they don’t know what to say to her”.
That really hurts.
I lost my son to a drunk 20 year old third time offender drunk boat driver. I feel this man’s pain and also his restraint for truly expressing himself in the most honorable way possible. There is no pain like loosing a child.

Knowing 500k people watched the funeral means absolutely nothing, it's because of the heinous acts of the killer not because the victim touched so many lives. You're crazy if you think that will help the slightest bit.

Feel like they need to add a law where victims of this shot get to beat the shot out of the guy for a few weeks till he gets locked up barely keep him alive
He's a Psychopath
@@arcticangel1628 no, the expression on his face has no outcome or effect on his actions, crimes or rulings against him. His facial expression has merely unsettled me among everything else he has done. That is all I was saying in my comment......... obviously that's not the only thing that is upsetting about this. I'm not used to seeing severe psychopaths and their not being able to feel any sort of emotion in any situation
For this father, who has served the Law as an attorney for 45 years… For him to point fingers at the defense team & say what he did.. he knows what goes down, he knows what those kinds of people are about. Thats huge:/ He’s an honorable man. Only reason he’s not flipping tables and yelling, and he’s sounding professional still even when angry.. is because he has respect for the judge and the court. God bless him and his family.
And said if he had done any of that he would have lost his law license been put in jail or permanently disbarred
He should be given 5 minutes alone in a locked room with that bastard!
@@drewski1535 Because? He practiced in NYS! Where they do something about Lawyer's actions. Not just say "Oh well. We take a hands off total freedom attitude here!" like FL. All FL seems to care about is that you pay and take the exams for THEIR professional licenses. Not just carry over from another state.
You’ve all had your 15 minutes of fame….now STFU!!!
I’m so glad he let them know how irrelevant they are now.
Really tho. The defense has a job and anyone who knows about law would understand that but there’s a point where this became ridiculous. The perp was indefensible and they should have just let it play out instead of trying to grab at scraps.
Wow. Breathtaking. What a man. What an amazing dad. Today marks the 5th anniversary of that dreadful day. I hope all the families are coping well and healing a little.
Sending you all love from the UK 🇬🇧
This is a TV show.
honestly what a speech, that man said it better than anyone else could and my heart goes out to him, you are the best father anyone could ever ask for and may the gods let your son rest peacefully

“The day he stops breathing, I will feel better”. You can hear the pain in his voice 😔
That day will come it may take time but it will happen then they all can feel better
Cruz said he would let the parents decide. They want him dead, why doesn’t he oblige? Because he’s a manipulative violent liar. The jury ignored these parents pain.

We need to remember each of the 17 people who lost their lives in such a cruel, senseless way. Learn who they were, what they enjoyed.
This gentleman his summed up everything this animal deserves, and everything he will get, and be forgotten about as much as is humanly possible.

Everyone deserves due process. EVERYONE. I agree with you insofar as this killer should get the worst kind of death you can give a man, but you have to understand that if we don't provide due process for the worst in society, it erodes due process for the best.
@@PipByMac so? what you respond? another law ballshit?
Calling out lawyers for doing their job as constitutionally required shows far more ignorance than it does courage, these people do not approve of what Nicholas Cruz did, I do not understand why so many people when ironically believe things like that.
I thought it was reprehensible. DUE PROCESS
Damn that man almost made the judge cry what a heart breaking speech
This defense team really seem like awful people. Nobody threatened their children. My jaw dropped when I heard the defense woman ask the judge how she can allow them to threaten their children… in the sentencing of a murder case of 17 kids. Despicable, it’s satisfying however, to know that everybody sees their true colors. They debate on flipping the bird??? All these parents lost a child, and the defense tries to make it all about them and their hurt feelings. Truly unbelievable.
If there is no or inaction defense team on behalf of the murderer. the court will be faulted and charged for unfair judgement. The defense team HAVE to do their job, they cannot just screw over their client just because he is a mass murderer. The defense team probably don't want to do this, but it is their obligation and duty to defend and help their client, and gaining experience from extremely difficult case. The defense team don't just defend the killer, but also the innocents.
If you never know a lawyer, you would curse them. They can actually charged you for court of contempt for threatening them, but choose to take it and move on with their day. Lawyers work crunch time, travel from court to court. Work day in and day out. Defense team who defend mass murderers are probably not the most well paid, as the family probably refuse to help the mass murderer at this point, so public funding have to be provided to the defense team, which let's be real, isn't a lot.
I would’ve thrown out that defense lawyer who gave a middle finger and laughed with that little monster
I hope she gets disbarred for that
@@MrDash03for real she wants to be a villain so bad it's cringe
@@ihatecabbage7270 The fact that they are a defense team for a killer is not the issue, it’s the lack of respect they showed to families.

These families have been through the worst of the worst and I hope they can have some kind of healing moving forward.
@Padraig Warren They're rubbing the death of their children in these people's faces. That would make them mad whether or not cruz was to be executed
@Padraig Warren Really ??? Just how long do you think Nikolas Cruz is going to last in general population. He most likely with be in solitary for the rest of his life...a LONG life in purgatory is a fate worst than death.
@Padraig Warren they were laughing with that sub human
@@Creamstp I don't think that's the issue . I'm sure the defense doesn't care what happens to him in prison . And tbf there was one attorney that was moved by the victim statements , she was sitting to the left of cruz
@Padraig Warren he went guilty and only got away with his life due to a ONE feeble minded juror...nothing more. So enough with the indifferent self righteous drivel
The pain in his voice. My heart hurts for him and the families💔
I'm just massively impressed by this man's resolve and courage to say all this. Thank you.
So happy he was able to say this on national TV. The system failed these families and this case. What a damn shame. This kid better get put in general population
I feel horrible for these families, but honestly, I don't think the system has failed them.
I've been to prison twice. I've never killed anyone or done anything close to what Nikolas did. But I do know what the inside of the private prisons in Florida look like, and I have a good idea of what prison he's going to end up in. He's going to suffer infinitely more doing life in a private Florida prison, than sitting on death row in a government run Florida prison.
He’s gonna get ripped to shreds and deservedly so
Oh, and I promise you, at some point, it might be in a few months or in a decade, a corrections officer is going to make a "mistake" and transfer Nik into general population, into a unit where one of his victim's relative is being held.
@@MissSpaz i hope you are right…… 🫤
This criminal deserves everything he gets. What a monster.
Sir, I must applaud you for keeping your composure and delivering so powerfully. I also give a virtual hug to the families that had to endure this entire trial while holding their tongues. It’s sad that the defense decided to act like a bunch of peons instead of decent adults. They will never be able to hide from this, their despicable behavior has been broadcasted for the world to see.

And they deserve it ..... shame on them they should be punished .

I haven't cried in years but when he said that his daughters birthday was the day of the massacre and people don't know whether to call her and say "happy birthday" or "I'm sorry" that really got to me
His message is so powerful, I’m shaking right now 😭
luckily, judge is stronger, saw much worse.
They can say both. People have this "or" attitude, black/white attitude when more ppl should have an "and" attitude- various shades of grey attitude.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
We lost my little brother and watching my mother go through that was the worst part of it all.
There is nothing more heartbreaking than watching a parent grieve.
He was also my best friend I experienced sounds I've never heard come out of my body
My mom mentioned the same.
You smell their clothing because you're trying to find them...
My mom has not been the same to this day. Trauma is a very real thing and unfortunately there's not enough help available.
It sounds like you did an amazing job with your son❤️
My heart goes out to this man. No one deserves this. So articulate.
This guy spoke TRUTH. He knew he was talking to a sociopath and said what needed to be said, in the way it needed to be said.
Immediately when he started speaking I sobbed. Most people can’t imagine what these families have gone through and will go through. Unfortunately I can not only imagine but remember vividly the emotions, physical pain, and anxiety from my own experience. When my brother was murdered in my senior year of high school I thought that was as bad as things could get. Then you enter a courtroom and have to be immersed in the worst day of your life over and over again. The defense repeatedly assassinated my brothers character and devalued him as a person trying to defend the indefensible. They called him a thug, brought up his past, and even blamed him for his own death. They were allowed to represent my loving, protective, and amazing brother as being a criminal who “ lived by the sword and died by the sword!” There is nothing worse the sitting next to the coward who changed your life and listening to people make excuses for him. To have the defense beg for mercy so that this killer could see his family and friends again. Only to hear a sentence that is not fair and receive no justice. We went back repeatedly to do our victims impact statements and every time those same unhealed wounds would be ripped open again. I’m so happy this monster will never be free again. I could not imagine anyone sharing the pain our family will share when my brothers killer soon walks free.
To the families we stand with you! You are brave and your are strong!
Rest in peace to all of the love ones you lost!
RIP Terrance Moore
I still feel your presence watching over me and my son! Even though you never got to meet him, I see so much of you in his eyes! You will forever be missed. P2D1T2 always!

I am so, so sorry for you and your family. I cannot imagine losing a sibling at such a young age as you were. I wept as I read your words. I'm so sorry.
there is no justice on earth 🌍
This age is evil. Every dispensation or age in man’s history has been evil. Every age has demonstrated that the heart of mankind “is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked” that people are sinners in need of the Lord. I don’t think our age is worse than the time of Nimrod or what is seen in Rome, but rather very similar sounds like a commentary on our times! Mankind doesn’t change. Mankind has been evil, is evil, and will be evil.
Bless you angel love and hugs to you and yours ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 xxx
As a British citizen I find this incredible…the statement was so moving…I wish the British courts would allow this. Rest in peace.
I work in law in the UK and they have started filming and publishing case but they’re very restricted they only show the judges sentencing you can watch them on CZcams
They DO allow this you idiot, they're called victim statements.
@@KTL996 No this is regarding the statement in question, which are obviously allowed in UK courts. Their court system is a circus compared to ours.
No such thing as a British citizen

This victim statement is probably the most moving I have ever heard. It’s so impassioned, raw, and sad
It's a TV show b
i love how the judge paid so much attention to every single speaker and really truly listened. she knew this was their moment to get some closure and she wanted to show they all had her entire attention for what might possibly be their darkest or brightest moments of their and their deceased loved one's entire lives and they deserve nothing but respect and full attention
"The indefensible"
Truly powerful! Nothing will bring back their children, nothing will change the pain rooted deep inside their heart and soul. It's absolutely horrible. These families have lost the one person who makes them truly happy, their child.
that definitely stood out to me bc it’s so true
Hunter Wilson people who hate the nicols cruise hate the chrildrin he killed and there familys to
Sounds like he was an exceptional teacher and person. My heart breaks for his family and students.
This incident and the uvalde incident makes me cry till now. I still do research and try to somehow feel the pain these families feel and I fail because he’s right none of us can know and I hope no family has to undergo this horrific ordeal.
That security guard was feeling it in the back… I hope she’s doing good. Her hearts pure
This father has me sobbing. I’m so sorry for your loss sir.
fr just wanna give him a hug
❤
@synergy well…that too!😬😂
I don’t understand why you’re crying this man is speaking pretty powerful words saying more than what most people would get away with I think it’s pretty cool
@@thanosbustedinyourmum uhh…because his kid died and it’s sad. I think that’s pretty obvious…but not everyone is as naturally intelligent as I am I guess. My apologies.😂😂😂
I feel so awful for this man and all these families for how their lives were forever changed. All the physical pain the victims had to go through and all the emotional pain everyone else is left with. It’s just so unfair.
Lisa D. True. Gravity of victims' pain must have suffered physical & emotional eg. their bleeding to death, can be lost in the figures' focus.
@@TheReevessss the rooms would have smelt of blood urine and feces
Mad respect for the parents and the judge

@@timothywait9457 omg 😂😂😂
The restraint of the families is incredible. How they maintained their dignity and refrained from rushing the dock & battering the smirk off the murderer's face, I cannot comprehend.
How he didn't get the DP is beyond me. Hope he gets what's coming to him in prison.
Oh little Nikki is gunna get DP'ed alright, just a different kind then you are referring to if you get my vibe..
Cuz the 3 jurors were opposed to it.
@@Illyria1217 That's disgusting how those jurors spit in the families faces, hope people find out who they are and show them some karma.
Possibly religious idiocy
I hope those 3 jurors are haunted by nightmares every night for the rest of their pathetic weak lily-livered lives. There has never been a "thing" more deserving of execution. I hope his every day and night are an agony of excrutiating never ending pain and silence. NO one should speak one word to him ever again. Just torture him with stone faced silence.

This man deserved a standing ovation. I am literally bawling and can’t stop
My heart aches for him and those families. May the victims all rest in Gods everlasting peace. 🙏🏾
Where was god when it happened?
@@paxtonb3926 Reddit atheist detected
@@mikeeden1286 It's actually a valid argument. Every tragedy that happens to humans, God is nowhere to help or prevent said tragedies from happening. So where is the God? If you suggest that the God is similiar to how Christianity defines him, then suppose he is a masochist? Isis beheadings all play out exactly how the killers intended, without any interference from the God.
@@moonmoth588 I never said anything about god I’m personally an atheist he just sounds like he’s straight out of Reddit trying to start a religious argument from a tragedy
@@mikeeden1286 It's still a valid point. Where was this god when it happened? If you ask me, I don't think this god should be the one getting the credit here. If he does exist as they say, then he did nothing. The only ones who should get the credit are the victims that had to endure it. Giving the credit to this god who did absolutely nothing to deserve this praise will just undermine the efforts of the victims
His words are insanely palpable im tearing up rn.. rip to Scott pops you clearly loved him with all your heart💔
I have much respect for this man, and all the families who had to go through this.
Much respect for a man publicly asking the defendant be lynched? Why bother with trials, let's abolish courts.

As a Father whose oldest son was murdered 10 days before his 21st Birthday, I think I can relate somewhat to this Father. I’m just sorry the Judge couldn’t “Set Aside” the ruling in the Penalty Phase and Sentence this POS TO “DEATH BY TORTURE”. I pray the inmates do this for us.
I'm so sorry for your loss 💐
I'm sorry for your loss.
I couldn't imagine Honey, I am so Sorry......Sending you lots of love and pray you find peace. 💜
@@jenniferwilliams9548 Thank you, my son was working as an unarmed security officer when he was murdered. It was Dec 25 th. That has forever changed how Christmas is viewed in my and his Sisters view. I try hard to keep it normal Christmas, it’s just difficult. I’ve gone through counseling and not much help- but we continue to continue.. I just hope and Pray the Families are able to find some solace in that the POS can never do that to any other family.
@@strongbear9304 my mom died on Christmas. I hear ya
God bless the families. I could listen to this man talk for hours. Reminds me of my Grandfather. 😢
Man that father had me about to cry that was a very heartfelt statement if you wasn't touched by his hurt your not human praying for all of the families ❤️🙏🙏
I’ve noticed this man in the courtroom many times and he has always peaked my interest. I knew when he finally had his opportunity to speak he was going to do a phenomenal job and I was right. As soon as he said he was an attorney I knew it was going to be very powerful and well spoken. I’m so sorry to everyone who’s lost to the hands of this animal and I’m sorry the state of Florida wasn’t able to give the sentence that you wanted but as this man said, this pos if going to get it all right, and it will be so much worse than how the state would have had to do it. I’ll be right there celebrating with all of you on that day!
damn uncontrolled firearms, damn half-mad assholes around who should be jailed immediately and if not attained a minimum of civilization, imprisoned for life.
STFU. GO READ THE BIBLE. I DESIRE MERCY NOT SACRIFICE.
Calling him an animal is an insult to animals
*piqued
dirt then
This trial infuriated me. The victim’s impact statement’s really broke my heart, especially this one. You can tell the father is beyond heartbroken.
This mans words hit me to my core! I feel for him with all my heart. Sending all my love to him and his wife, his family, and all those who knew or loved Scott. Rest in peace! My heart aches for all the poor victims and all their families and loved ones. Xo
My deepest sympathies go out to the families who have lost their loved ones. They have every right to feel angry, sad, and hurt. It is disheartening to see individuals belittling these victims' families. It is impossible for anyone to truly understand the pain and suffering they are going through. We must refrain from telling them how to mourn or how to feel. The loss of their loved ones was a senseless and violent act, and we must show them compassion and support during this difficult time.
The judge looks like she’s barely holding it together. This man’s statement was SO impactful. 😢
I'm from South Africa, my condolences to the Scott family and friends and to all the other victims family and friends. I never knew that this horror, also affected my country as well. I' m saddened that Scott's good work was so abruptly ended by this horrid person .RIP to all victims.
Condolences to all the family members, and their family and any body who suffered from this unspeakably tragic incident!!! 🙏🙏🙏
I normally skip past videos that are longer than 10 mins but I stayed and watched every bit of this. This man laid down the most honest and deserving speech. It makes me feel like I know Scott now which is insane.
I'm almost speechless. This man's statement was so moving. I hope every word he said resonates inside that monster. His son sounded like an amazing man with a huge heart, and having a father like this was a huge part of that.
My heart goes out to him, and all the victims families, hope they can find some sort of peace after these heart wrenching murders. 💔
None of those words resonated with that demon, you can tell he doesn't even slightly care. He looks like a kid who's bored in the worst class of the day at school, it's pathetic. Lowlife isn't a damning enough word to describe the killer.
damn uncontrolled firearms, damn half-mad assholes around who should be jailed immediately and if not attained a minimum of civilization, imprisoned for life.
Your son would be so proud of you, he knows you fought hard for justice. I hope the families find peace and I hope they are able to move on but also keep loving their loved ones even if they are no longer here. It is so painful to have one of your loved one die in the hands of another person; murder is so different from natural death. I myself have a loved one die through homicide, it is painful and unbearable sometimes.

@@realcritical-kr2dd where is the “step”?
He’s a good man a good son he even checked on his dad to make sure he was okay
Nice for the judge for letting him get his message out
His speech was powerful. And his words helped every one in the court room.includeing the judge
This guy is so intelligent and well spoken, and very thoughtful, concise and very hurting. It's so easy to have compassion for the loss of a wonderful beautiful soul, his son Scott. So appreciative he spoke for his family and stood for ALL the families this boy destroyed
I mean who wouldn't be pissed if their son was killed?
Yelling "I hope the inmates (scvmbags) murder you", is intelligent to you? Says all that needs to be said.
The killer is not sorry. He’s probably secretly enjoying their pain. When Scott’s father said what kind of animal are you? Perfect description of what he is… an animal
No as animals don’t kill in cold blood. They only kill to feed or defend themselves. It’s an insult to animals.
He nearly cracks a smug smile at one point
Which animal behaves like that?
This man's honest and level headed attitude,was brilliant. God Bless your loved one
Well said. !! I hope all the parents find peace.
god this is such a good statement. I held on to every word. incredible words, he’s leaving such a impact and I’m so proud of him.
What expression on his face could change what he did? What expression on his face could convince them all that he’s sorry and has regret and remorse? What expression on his face could bring back all the people he killed?
@@arcticangel1628 I don’t think this man was asking for more facial expressions. He was pointing out the fact that he always has just one cold lifeless expression on his face. He’s a sociopath, emotionless.
@@arcticangel1628 I agree, the answer is nothing.
He looks like an empty, souless vessel. I would like to know what he's thinking.
This man is my hero. I’m so so sorry nothing can ever change this pain. I’ve followed this since it happened and it’s unbelievable
he fallen to hatred , revenge, and wishing death, cursing others. We should take our suffering, hate only make things worse. His heart will probably blow up because of toxicity and hatred. I hope, he will forgive, and just bear the pain, instead of hating, revenging, wishing death to others.
I hope, he will find the Jesus words one day, and understand. Only in forgiveness, we can find the peace and health, otherwise, the deed will take two... the Cruz and hater and revenger too.
That defence was horrendous. Really awful, despicable. Anytime I am reminded of this trial it is the first thing that comes to mind. No class.
I must applaud the presiding Judge Elizabeth Scherer for allowing every relative of the murder victims to give not just a statement but unedited, fully loaded victim impact statements. Mr. Schulman's words and thoughts were heart rending as he did not hold back his emotions, his feelings, and his righteous anger and directed them straight at Cruz, including, but not limited to, at the entire defense team. He gave no quarter to the killer and no quarter to the killer's defenders.
This dad's pain is unbearable I'm so sorry for his families loss. 💔 I hope all the families can heal from this horrible tragedy 😢

I don't know how people can be this calm and not run across that room to put their hands on this boy
This "Animal" you mean, I boy is someone who has emotions and actually shows regret or something he's basically a Ghost In a body moving around listening to everything and just having that same look like his expression is frozen
This guy is fantastic! He knows how to speak so well and conveys so much. His experience as an attorney is clear.
It’s a shame that anybody loses a loved one prematurely in a world where so many of us are unloved.
