Wednesday will mark six years since the deadly mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.

Broward Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer announced on Oct. 13 that a divided jury recommended life in prison without the possibility of parole as punishment for the Parkland school shooter on count 10 of first-degree murder.

During a virtual hearing held on Zoom, Scherer also said she was going to hold the next virtual status hearing at 11 a.m. on Aug. 25. “We have to take it one day at a time,” Scherer said, adding that she was open to hearing about creative solutions. Gabriel Ermine, a public defender representing Cruz, 21, said the coronavirus pandemic has also contributed to the delay of depositions and legal motions. The jail also hasn’t been safe for the experts who need to meet with Cruz, Ermine said. “We are ready to have them go in once everything is safe,” Ermine said.
