I can fully admit. I don’t know how to feel about this completely. Something has to be done, for sure, he signed up for the potential of what could happen. I also realize it’s insanely hard to say to put your life on the line. I always tell myself I’d do it, but saying it and doing it are two different things. But, ultimately, it’s your job so it’s probably justified. Having said that, I have a much bigger issue with how we got to this point.
We've had so many gun laws since then it would take me 1 maybe two-hole seconds to name them all. Very successful movement
What is the normal discovery process for this type of case - TMB lawyers? Sadly, I think we've probably had enough of them now that someone probably has an answer to if this is different than other states, etc
Sugar Daddy Cited As Reason Why Woman Can't Be On Parkland Shooting Jury By Zuri Anderson April 7, 2022 Parkland shooting trial. Why? One of the reasons is because she has "a sugar daddy," according to Fox News. Jury selection started this week for the sentencing of Nikolas Cruz, who killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in February 2018. The selected jurors will determine if the former student will receive the death penalty or get life in prison without the possibility of parole. During the jury selection process on Monday (April 4), Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer asked if anyone had questions or concerns. That's when a prospective juror identified as "Miss Bristol" chimed in. "This is a whole entire month," she begins. "First of all let me clarify myself, July second is my birthday, July Fourth is my son, and the 18th is my other son." "Don't talk too fast, we have to be able to understand," Judge Scherer replies. "So you said that the July, there's dates in July that you're not available? What are those dates?" "July seventh, July fourth, and July 18th....And again, I need to figure out something," Bristol explains again. "I have my sugar daddy that I see every day." "I'm sorry?" the judge asks. "My sugar daddy," Bristol repeats, later adding that she's married. Judge Scherer, still not understanding what the woman was saying, moved on with the promise to circle back to her later. Reporters say Bristol wasn't the only potential juror asking to be dismissed. Several others cited work, health issues, travel plans, and family commitments possibly conflicting with their civic duties. Twelve jurors and eight alternates will be selected for the trial. Over 120 people were reportedly dismissed before Scherer, including Bristol. Sources expect the sentencing phase of Cruz's trial to go from June through September.
Right there with ya - maybe made it like 5 seconds into it before my wife got concerned and thought I had just gotten news of a death in the family
Fuck, man. Just further portrays people unwilling to budge on gun reform as soulless. I don’t see how it’s possible to not feel extreme empathy for people that have lost loved ones to gun violence, much less think that an inanimate object is more important than kids that have to grow up without parents or parents that have to bury a child.
Holy hell, the building where the shootings happened has been sealed for 4 years. Jurors and media walked through it yesterday. Blood still on the ground, books still open, cups with drinks in them that have turned to sludge.

I’m generally against the death penalty but, in this case, I think it’s the only way for family members to have closure. Otherwise, there’s the lingering feeling that he might one day roam the streets again.
