We'll start off with it.
Pretty unreal. That nobody paid
attention to the facts of this case.
That nobody can remember.
Who a victim is. And what they look like.
I know. Every day.
Because I see my beautiful.
Daughter's face.
Around our home. In my dreams.
And I miss her very much.
Going to read you a prepared statement.
Today's ruling was yet another
gut punch for so many of us.
Who devastatingly lost our loved
ones on that tragic Valentine's Day.
At Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
17 beautiful lives were cut short.
By murder. Heinous. Pre planned.
Torturous murder.
And the monster that killed them.
Gets to live another day.
While this sentence.
Fails to punish the perpetrator
to the fullest extent of the law.
It will not stop. The mission.
Of the families of stand with Parkland.
To effect positive change.
At the federal, state,
and local level. To prevent.
School shooting tragedies.
From shattering other American families.
How? Can the mitigating factors.
Make this shooter who they recognized
committed this terrible act. Acts plural.
Shooting. Some victims.
More than once on a pass.
Pressing the barrel of his
weapon to my daughter's chest.
That doesn't outweigh.
That poor little. What's his
name had a tough upbringing.
I mean, society has to really look.
And re examine. Who and what is a victim?
Not everyone's a victim.
My beautiful Gina.
The other sons. Daughters.
Spouses and fathers.
They were the victims here.
Our justice system.
Should have been used to
punish this shooter to the
fullest extent of the law.
Not as an act of revenge,
but to protect.
Our nation schools to stop
others from attacking the
future of this country.
If one juror was honest when
they chose the jury. And they said
they could see their way to the
death penalty. And unanimously,
they all found that the
aggrovators were proven
beyond the reasonable doubt.
I think that one juror.
Possibly perjured him or herself.
I will say that the state.
Did an excellent job.
I haven't heard one of
our families complain.
About the case they put on.
They were factual. They were realistic.
That rebuttal was excellent.
I just think people forget
what facts are these days.
