Attys Complain about Judge's Conduct During the Sentencing Hearing for the "Parkland Shooter." [Media Pretends there was a Contested Trial; Wrong, He Pled Guilty and Pleas Don’t Make False Flags Real]
/
A guilty plea is just a guilty plea - it is not proof that anything happened in any case. A guilty plea is a way to avoid an actual trial or avoid having to prove that a crime took place. The guilty plea here doesn’t prove that Mr. Cruz committed a massacre or that Parkland happened - its just a plea, nothing more. If an actual, contested criminal defense trial had taken place the Government would have had the burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a massacre took place and Mr. Cruz committed it. That is, the Government would have had to show that Parkland was real - with actual authenticated, admissible evidence and testimony subject to cross-examination, credibility determinations, investigation and inspection in an adversarial process before a jury who would decide on the CASE ON ITS merits. But that never happened. Nevertheless, in The Spectacle The Dependent Media goes on implying that “a trial” WAS conducted. Similarly, “Sandy Hoax” was not proven to be real simply because a court entered default judgments against Alex Jones when he failed to respond to court orders in lawsuits. Contrary to constant media mischaracterization, there was no actual contested trial. The court proceedings only pertained to how much should be awarded in damages. A DEFAULT JUDGEMENT SIMPLE MEANS MR. JONES WAS FOUND LIABLE. IT DOESN’T MEAN THAT SANDY HOAX WASN’T AN ELABORATE HOAX. [MORE]
ANOTHER “TRIAL” FOR A FALSE FLAG LOOKED RIGGED. From [HERE] Florida criminal defense attorneys said the judge overseeing sentencing of the shooter in the 2018 Parkland school shooting was "hostile and demeaning" toward defense counsel, conduct that "reveals temperament ill-suited to the criminal bench" (article available here).
The Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers wrote a letter to Chief Judge Jack Tuter of the 17th Judicial Circuit complaining about Broward County Judge Elizabeth Scherer's behavior during sentencing proceedings for 24-year-old Nikolas Cruz. Cruz was convicted of killing 17 people in the February 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
The president of the defense lawyers association said in Thursday's letter that Judge Scherer's comments and actions during the proceedings were offensive and "detrimental to the integrity of the judiciary and the judicial system." He urged the chief judge to address the matter with the judge and "take all appropriate steps to ensure she is not in a position to prejudice any other criminal cases."
"The image of a judge relegating an elected public defender and his top assistant to go sit in the corner like misbehaving children is offensive and discounts their very vital and difficult role in this system."
The association has not filed a formal complaint with the state's Judicial Qualifications Commission.
Cruz pleaded guilty in October 2021. The death-penalty phase of the trial began this summer and the jury returned a life verdict. Cruz was sentenced to life in prison without parole Nov. 2.
Judge Scherer, a former prosecutor, was seen hugging members of the prosecution team in the courtroom, according to footage obtained by local television station.
