Parkland Shooter Doesn’t Deserve to Die Because Addict Mom ‘Broke’ His Brain, Defense Insists

As defense attorneys ask a jury to spare Nikolas Cruz from receiving the death penalty, they claimed Monday that the Parkland shooter’s brain was “poisoned” by his mom’s drinking and drug abuse when she was pregnant.

“In telling you Nik’s story, in telling you the chapters of his life, we will give you reasons for life,” McNeill said. Cruz pleaded guilty in October to 17 counts of murder. Ever since, prosecutors have sought to have Cruz sentenced to death, while the defense has asked for a life sentence without the possibility of parole.” when he went to his former high school and gunned down classmates and teachers—actions they say are worthy of the death penalty.

Woodard testified that her mother abused drugs and alcohol throughout her childhood, which created a hostile environment. This partially excluded Cruz, however, as he was placed up for adoption shortly after his birth in 1998.

If that is the case, a cat scan would show it, so i hope they brought a doctors note. Because this is not in any way a ' dog ate my homework ' situation, and this was the last minute defense they could come up with, right ?

Nah….

Naw, don't buy it

BULLSH$T...

Nope

And?

“He’s a good boy, he’s a very good boy.”

Always blame the mother

Is that the best they can come up with?

Nah

What a crock of s**t. Lol. Desperation at its finest.
