COMING UP IN A FEW MINUTES.
WE‘LL BE RIGHT BACK
>> SOME DRAMATIC TESTIMONY AS THE STATE‘S REBUTTAL CONTINUES IN THE PENALTY PHASE FOR THE
PAC LAND SHOOTER.
-- PARKLAND SHOOTER.
>> THE PSYCHIATRIST PLAYING
VIDEOS OF HIS MEETINGS WITH
NIKOLAS CRUZ AND WHEN HE DID
THE SHOOT OG VALENTINE‘S DAY.
>> AND IT‘S NOT JUST ABOUT WHAT
THE SHOOTER SAID ABOUT WHY, BUT
THE INTERPRETATION ON THE
WITNESS AND THE COGNITIVE
DIAGNOSTIC LENS AND WHAT
ESSENTIALLY HE TOLD THE JURORS
TODAY IS IN REVIEW OF THE
RECORD AND IN HIS PERSONAL
EVALUATION WITH THE PARKLAND
SHOOTER, HE FOUND HIM TO BE
CONNIVING, SELF-SERVING, HE
SAID HE HAS ANTI-SOCIAL
PERSONALITY DISORDER.
ALL OF THIS REFUTING A DEFENSE
CASE THAT IS CENTRED ON AN
ARGUMENT OF REASON FOR LIFE
THAT PRESENTS TO THE JURY THAT
IN THE DEFENSE VIEW, HE HAS
FETAL ALCOHOL SPECTRUM DISORDER.
>> BLAMING THE VICTIM.
THAT‘S VERY TYPICAL WITH
ANTI-SOCIAL PERSONALITY.
>> IF MOM HAD LIVED, I WOULDN‘T
HAVE DONE THIS.
>> RIGHT, EXACTLY.
>> IF SOMEONE DIDN‘T GIVE ME A
NASTY LOOK, I WOULDN‘T HAVE
GONE BACK AND SHOT THEM AGAIN.
>> IT‘S A PERFECT EXAMPLE WHAT
YOU SEE WITH ANTI-SOCIAL
PERSONALITY DISORDER.
>> DOES SAFD EXPLAIN THE
DETAILED PLANNING OF THE
MASSACRE BY THE DEFENDANT?
>> NO.
>> DOES FASD EXPLAIN THE ANIMAL
ABUSE?
>> NO.
>> I BURN.
I TORTURE THEM.
I SKIN THEM ALIVE.
I SHOT THEM.
I USUALLY PLAY WITH THEIR DEAD
BODIES OR I EAT THEM.
>> DOES FASD EXPLAIN HISERATIST
DESIRES TO KILL BLACK PEOPLE?
>> NO.
>> DOES FASD EXPLAIN HIS DESIRE
TO RUIN VALENTINE‘S DAY FOR THE
SCHOOL AND EVERYONE ASSOCIATED
WITH THIS MASSACRE?
>> NO, NOT AT ALL.
>> WHY VALENTINE‘S DAY?
>> BECAUSE I DIDN‘T LIKE
VALENTINE‘S DAY AND WANTED TO
RUIN IT FOR EVERYONE.
>> RUIN IT FOR EVERYONE?
LIKE THE FAMILY MEMORIES OF THE
KIDS WHO WERE KILLED?
>> NO.
FOR THE SCHOOL.
>> OH, FOR THE SCHOOL.
OH, OKAY.
SO IT‘S LIKE THE ATTACK AGAINST
MARJORY STONEMAN DOUGLAS.
>> DOES THAT EXPLAIN THE MURDER
OF LUKE?
>> NO.
>> DOES FASD EXPLAIN THE MURDER
OF MARTIN?
>> NO.
>> AND THEN METHODICALLY GOES
ONE BY ONE.
EACH NAME.
EACH COUNT.
17 MARJORY STONEMAN DOUGLAS
STAFF AND STUDENTS MURDERED IN
THE CASE AND THE REASON WHY IS
BECAUSE, AGAIN, THE STATE IS
WORKING TO COMPEL THESE JURORS
ON THE 17 COUNTS AND 17 UNIQUE
OCCASIONS FOR EACH COUNT AND
EACH PERSON AND UNANIMOUSLY
DECIDE THAT DEATH IS THE
APPROPRIATE PUNISHMENT.
NOW WHAT‘S HAPPENING IN THE
COURTROOM IS THE DEFENSE IS IN
CROSS-EXAMINATION WITH THE
STATE REBUTTAL WITNESS AND
LEVERAGING THAT MOMENT OF
QUESTIONING TO REMIND JURORS OF
WHAT THEY WANT THEM TO CONSIDER
THE EVIDENCE OF THE PARKLAND
SHOOTERS‘ BIRTH MOTHER AND
SMOKING CIGARETTES, DOING
DRUGS, ALL THOSE TOXINS WHILE
SHE WAS PREGNANT AND LOOKING
AND GOING TO THE WOMB.
REMEMBER THEY TOLD THE JURORS
THEY BELIEVE THAT THEIR CLIENT
SUFFERS BRAIN DAMAGE.
THAT HE WAS POISONED IN THE
WOMB.
ESSENTIALLY CONVEYING THE IDEA
THAT HE NEVER REALLY HAD A
STRONG START TO LIFE THE SECOND
HE WAS BORN BECAUSE AGAIN THEIR
CASE IS RESTING ON THE JURY
DECIDING AS THEY WEIGH ALL THIS
EVIDENCE THAT IS COMING UP REAL
SOON TO THAT MOMENT HAPPENING
THEY WANT TO WEIGH IN BUT WHAT
THEY SAY ABOUT WHAT THE DEFENSE
PRESENTED TO US WITH FETAL
ALCOHOL SPECTRUM DISORDER AND
TRYING TO REMIND THE JUROR WHAT
THEY SAID THROUGH THIS
CROSS-EXAMINATION.
WE‘LL HAVE SO MUCH MORE LATER
