  • Victims’ families get their final say in court prior to the sentencing of the Parkland school shooter. The statements follow a nearly three-month trial, after which a jury of seven men and five women could not unanimously agree on the death penalty for the convicted killer, resulting in a life sentence.

    It's true. The defense team was appointed to do a job, but it doesn't excuse them laughing and joking with the defendant belittling the actions he has done. It does not excuse them giving the middle finger to the cameras as if they are playing games too. The defense team showed no compassion for the victims and this mom told them off. Thank you Mrs Oliver for putting them in their place

Like they are taking offense to a mother whos venting out after 4-5 years of having to say or do nothing in fear of a mistrial. I’m honestly shocked by that defense

I just don't see the point (other than to vent) of talking to the killer directly. In my honest opinion, anyone evil enough to ruthlessly kill 17 people the way he did, isn't in the slightest going to have remorse, guilt or even be moved by these distraught family members statements. Not even in the slightest bit. I believe this level of evil only experiences regret once they are in hell.
