RELATEDParkland shooting victims' families address Nikolas Cruz before sentencing
Nikolas Cruz, who pleaded guilty to 17 counts of first-degree murder and 17 counts of attempted murder in the February 2018 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, was spared the death penalty by a Broward County jury on Oct. 13. Among that jury summoned to decide whether he should live or die, three jurors voted to spare his life.
