Actually, Mr. Cruz has already admitted to the MSD shooting. Now it’s just a matter of sentencing. Will the jury buy into his attorney’s pleas to get him off with an insanity defense?
That will be very tough in Florida, given the circumstances of Mr. Cruz’s crime.
The ‘kid’ is not sane. And the drugs he has been ingesting are not removing his mental illness. When the rules of evidence are ignored, especially in this day and age, there is an agenda being served, and perhaps an evil exercise being carried out. What happens if he changes his plea? ... Think about it. Now that this is being brought to light, expect the ‘kid’ to ‘off himself’ in his cell or the shower.
BTW, with a guilty plea there is no jury ... think what happens if he changes his plea and he is scheduled to go to trial!
That doesn't negate the incompetence and sloppy work on the part of the sheriff department.
Or the insane political correctness and incompetence of the school administration and government at all levels.
There is an abundance of culpability and guilt in all areas and heads should roll, but blame is focused on an inanimate object.
