Parkland trial is most difficult area of law | Letters to the editor - South Florida Sun Sentinel

Broward County State Attorney Mike Satz (center) walks into the courtroom for a possible plea agreement for Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz at the Broward County Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Friday, October 15, 2021.

Sun Sentinel columnist Randy Schultz is right to question the wisdom of the Nikolas Cruz sentencing trial. But he’s wrong to criticize Judge Elizabeth Scherer and retired State Attorney Mike Satz.

Judge Scherer is seeking to carefully and painstakingly traverse the most difficult area of the law: death penalty proceedings. Satz is carefully and painstakingly trying to present a case for 17 death sentences, knowing that if even one juror concludes that death is not appropriate, the proceedings will be for naught. Therein lies the problem: the proceedings will be for naught.
