Attorneys for Parkland gunman Nikolas Cruz abruptly rested their case Wednesday in an unexpected turn that dissolved into a shouting match between the judge and defense lawyers.
Cruz, 23, pleaded guilty in 2021 to killing 17 people and wounding 17 others at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb 14, 2018, in one of the country's deadliest school shootings that reignited calls for stricter gun laws. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty, while the gunman's defense is arguing life in prison without parole. For a death sentence, the jury must be unanimous.
