Nikolas Cruz has avoided the death penalty

Nikolas Cruz, the now 24-year-old who admitted to killing 17 people in Florida's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in February 2018, has avoided the death penalty. A jury on Thursday recommended he be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, a decision which enraged many of the victims' families who said Cruz being allowed to live is not justice served.
