  • Nikolas Cruz is facing a possible death sentence for killing 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, including 14 children. The parents of Gina Montalto, Jaime Guttenberg and Helena Ramsay sat in the courtroom as medical examiner Dr. Marlon Osbourne detailed the injuries he found on the autopsies. Gina Montalto was shot and killed at close range, Jaime Guttenberg was shot in the back and torso, and Helena Ramsay was killed with a gunshot to the head.

      There is nothing chill about this. Unforutnately it is the job of a medical examiner to analyze and interpret the results of an autopsy. It's his job to be objective about his results especially in a court of law where the defense can draw on an pathologist to reivew the results and think differently. I can't imagine that this medical examiner went home and had a "good night" after this. It is a terrrible situation. But in this case his job is to be objective.

Its all so very sad, I’ve cried for the victims and their families, similar to the judge’s statement, i wish I could take a tear or two from them
      Don’t ve gone through times on life where i wonder how to get up in the morning, but never anything like this, the strength of these family members to appear so dignified and strong.

    My brother was killed in work related accident caused by negligence on his company's part. My family sat in a court room and herd the devastating consequences My beautiful brother sustained because of his careless company he was employed with. The court actually begged my mom and myself to please leave the room during this time due to the graphic pictures that were to be shown. I died with him that day. I pray that God will comfort all the families. This pain will never ever go away. They will someday just learn to survive with the pain. I am so truly heartbroken for the loss these families feel. Take comfort in knowing that at the moment of their deaths They were looking into the eyes of Jesus who was assuring them their suffering was over.

It becomes a part of you and even on your happiest days, there's still that place in your heart that aches for the loss of someone you love so dearly. My daughter and I both had to learn how to accept it and live with it. My heart hurts so much for these parents, siblings and friends who have lost someone they loved and to hear how they were murdered by this monster. I hope and pray they have the faith 🙏 to know that God will help them learn to live with what has been done. Without my faith, I wouldn't have made it, as I'm sure your faith helps you and your family live through a pain that is beyond what words can express and that is always with you.

    I am a defense lawyer and ardent opponent of the death penalty, but I cry watching these videos. The anguish of the parents is palpable and so tragic. I am a parent of a high school freshmen girl and a senior boy. Their classroom buildings, and in particular the classroom doors with large vertical windows, are designed and laid out exactly like Parkland. I live in Arizona, home of the most lax gun laws in the country. Any 18 year old can walk into a local gun store and within 30 minutes walk out with as many AR 15s, semi automatic handguns, magazines for them, and as much ammo as they can afford to buy. It's insanity, and I worry about my kids' safety at their extremely nice and frankly well to do school every day, to the point I am considering removing them from the school until the classrooms are properly secured. The school district recently spent well over a million dollars installing a state of the turf football field. How about spending half that to secure the damn classrooms!

      @@klvoshall6799 I appreciate your perspective, especially when looking at a horrific case like this. But our Constitution entitles everyone, no matter how horrific their crimes, to a defense. I happen also to be a firearms enthusiast and hunter, most of my friends are quite conservative, so we agree to disagree about the death penalty. I would shed no tears if Cruz is executed. But I can assure that despite his video rants, etc., at bottom he is profoundly mentally ill. Wait to hear the defense side. Why they reserved their opening statement to preview their side of the story is beyond me, legal malpractice in my view. I have two kids in high school - my heart aches for the victims and their families.

    I don’t know if I could be strong enough to do this. I’ve thought about this in depth and this is one of the major parts of the entire trial I really don’t think I could handle if I was in their shoes. As said previously I’m sure the parents knew all of this before the trial but to hear it again, this time with their murderer right in front of you is devastating. My brain keeps thinking “why is he alive and gets to sit here and listen to this when their children who were totally innocent can’t.” Nick doesn’t deserve to breathe the same air as these families.
    I’d like to think I would be as strong as these parents and do what I have to for justice for my child..but I don’t know if I could be in the courtroom for this part. The pain on the parent’s faces says it all for me. They’re suffering listening to this 😞 I cried through every single impact statement and the entirety of this video. These people are complete strangers to me and they don’t even know I exist, but if I could take their pain away I would in a heartbeat. NO ONE deserves this. No parent should lose their child in this way… Normally I’m a very vocal person and I like to talk, write, type, etc but this case has me at a loss for words. There is nothing any of us can do or say to help these families heal. They will never be able to escape the impact of the actions of this murderer. The impact statement of one of the victim’s sister said it perfectly when she said “there is no normal.” “there is no peace”.

    These 3 children suffered prior to death and this is not okay. Jaime Guttenberg was instantly paralyzed from the neck down. She could not breathe and in laymens terms she was literally drowning. Helena Ramsey and Gina Montalto were both shot at point blank range causing burns from the barrel of an AR-15 automatic rifle. Can someone please tell me how the jury found mitigating factors possibly outweighing aggravating factors? Jury is supposed ro be reasonable individuals and there is nothing reasonable in their decision making. They were not competent in making a rationale decision and were clearly biased or lacked cognizant reasoning.

    I feel sorry for these prayers have to listen all this that’s nothing but traumatizing them. As I listen to it it’s traumatizing to me to hear how those children died

    I wish the judge would make Nikolas put his pen or pencil down, look at the parents and pay attention to what he did. He shows no care, concern or remorse. I can't begin to imagine what those parents are going through. My heart is broken for them.

      Why? He doesn't care. And the judge cannot do that. It would be appealed as punishment outside of legal statute.

    14 years old? 108 pounds? 63 inches..!? My god, what a little innocent baby growing up. I cannot imagine enduring the never ending nightmare that must have consumed every aspect of the Montalto family.

    The victims/victims families sadly had to go through more trauma then the shooter ever did.
