Parents push for death penalty for evil teen Parkland shooter who killed 14 kids
shooter Nikolas Cruz, 23 has urged prosecutors to give him the death penalty.When Cruz was 19 years old, he embarked on a terrifying massacre inside Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, killing 14 pupils and three teachers in the process.It’s thought the twisted killer hopes to receive a life sentence for his actions however there is significant pressure for him to be executed.READ MORE: Bloke convinced he's found Bigfoot's hair but people say it's just 'pubes in a jar'Speaking to the New York Times, Tony Montalto, whose daughter, Gina, was killed in the 2018 shooting has argued that the strongest punishment should be sought.He said: “I think as a society we should want people who commit these heinous acts who attack the future of our country to be punished to the fullest extent of the law, for any deterrent effect that should have.” In order for Cruz to be given Florida's death penalty, the 12 jurors must all find him guilty of a capital offence. And according to prosecutors, there are countless reasons they should, namely that his killings were "especially heinous, atrocious or cruel."Prosecutor Michael Satz said: "These aggravating factors far outweigh any mitigating circumstances, anything about the defendant's background, anything about his childhood, anything about his schooling, anything about his mental health, anything about his therapy, anything about his care."Should Cruz be sentenced to death, he will become one of the youngest men on Death Row in America.
