FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The evidence against the Florida school shooting suspect is so overwhelming, the only question left for the courts if he is convicted is whether he will be sentenced to death or spend the rest of his life in prison. Finkelstein said Cruz would likely plead guilty if prosecutors opt not to seek the death penalty. “When you have the lack of impulse control that a 19-year-old has, that affects the behaviour you exhibit.”McNeill also said of Cruz: “He’s sad, he’s mournful, he’s remorseful. The victims’ families also have a legal right to participate in discussions over whether to seek the death penalty. An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ They will want retribution.”——Follow Curt Anderson on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Miamicurt——Follow the AP’s complete coverage of the Florida school shooting here: https://apnews.com/tag/Floridaschoolshooting
