Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School

The death penalty trial for the Parkland shooting trial resumed this week after a two-week break, and Nikolas Cruz's lawyers have continued to take jurors through his life chronologically as they seek to prove his difficult childhood contributed to the violence. They hope it will be enough to persuade just one juror to not back the death penalty.

Gov. Ron DeSantis has removed four Broward County School Board members from office, citing the findings of a statewide grand jury launched in the aftermath of the 2018 Parkland shooting. DeSantis has now appointed a majority of the school board members in one of the state's most Democratic-leaning counties.

The long-awaited report said the board members displayed “deceit, malfeasance, misfeasance, neglect of duty and incompetence” in their handling of a campus safety program. One of them, Donna Korn, is running for re-election in Tuesday's primary.

It was a brutal and emotional end to the prosecution’s case against the confessed Parkland shooter. Jurors visited the school building where the massacre happened — seeing with their own eyes the bloodstains and bullet holes preserved at the crime scene — and heard the final victim impact statements from loved ones of those who were murdered.

Two weeks after a deadly school shooting in Texas, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Tuesday that will require mental-health “crisis intervention” training for on-campus officers.

The judge presiding over Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz's death penalty trial was assigned the case despite never having overseen a major trial.

Jurors don’t often visit crime scenes, but a Florida statute lets them if a judge says so.

The penalty trial for confessed Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz began Monday as a Broward County judge started the process of picking jurors who will decide if he will be executed.

Four years ago, Debbi Hixon lost her husband, Chris, when he was killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Hixon says the pain feels "just as fresh today" as it did Feb. 14, 2018.

Florida government buildings, parks, and other facilities will fly their flags at half-staff in honor of the 14 students and three staff members killed in the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas massacre.
