YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFlorida school shooter Nikolas Cruz will be sentenced to life without parole for the 2018 massacre of 17 people at Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
That sentence comes after the jury announced Thursday that it could not unanimously agree that Cruz should be executed.
The decision ends a three-month trial that included graphic videos and photos, and heart-wrenching testimony from victims' family members.
Many family members shook their heads, looked angry or covered their eyes as the jury's decision was read.
Some parents sobbed as they left court.
"I'm disgusted with our legal system. I'm disgusted with those jurors. I'm disgusted with the system. That you can allow 17 dead and 17 others shot and wounded and not get the death penalty. What do we have the death penalty for?" said Dr. Ilan Alhadeff, whose daughter Alyssa died in the massacre.
A judge will formally sentence Cruz on Nov. 1.
