Two of the jurors have received mental health counseling in the past, two of them have a relative that is a counselor or psychologist and one of them served on a mental health board, so the vote might not have been 11-1.

I've said it before in this thread, but if he did it in Canada, he would get life with the possibility of parole after 25 years, but since he did it in America, he's never getting out. He pled guilty and life without parole is the minimum sentence, which means he can't appeal and his fate is sealed.

A lot of people have gotten the death penalty for one murder, so it's weird that Nikolas Cruz didn't get it for seventeen murders.
Let's hope it hurts at least this much for that **** head.FireAg said:
Hope he gets the Dahmer exit in prison...
I don't agree with him. I think most people who go out to murder people in this way are doing so knowing they will likely die. I'm not sure the death penalty is really a deterrent to someone who has already decided to carry out such an attack.lethalninja said:
Jaime Guttenberg's father says jury's life recommendation makes next mass shooting more likely
No, he said it 9-3 with one juror being dead set on life in prison. Two more ended up voting that way but it was one woman who wouldn't budge.Rapier108 said:
The jury foreman said it was 11-1.
The one juror who wouldn't vote for death told them at the start of deliberations that he/she was 100% against the death penalty for any reason and would not change her mind.
******* should never have been on the jury or should have been replaced because she clearly lied to get on the jury and get this outcome.
