[@allisonjames2923]

Exactly!!! People like this do it partly for notoriety & infamy. Their names should be available for people who really want to find them, but they should just be known by a random code NOT a name. And there definitely should be no books, no entertainment-related interviews (they definitely need extensive psychiatric assessments & analysis to find out why they do this & how to stop them), and definitely no movies or TV. Perhaps then it will not be such an attractive way for these psychopaths to deal with their problems.

As a parent who lost my 5 year old daughter 36 1/2 years ago, I can assure you these parents' lives are changed forever. Never again will you see that beautiful face and spirit that was so uniquely theirs. While the initial heart piercing, breath stopping pain will subside somewhat over time, the memory will return again and again. Every holiday, Valentines Day, Easter, Mother's or Father's Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day weekend, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas will be a reminder of a soul absent from the family, the wondering of what would have been that year, the grandchildren never born and loved. The loss doesn't end until your own death and release from your earthly pain. I wish the juror(s) who decided against the death penalty would have understood this. While it would not have lessened or changed the parents pain, it certainly would have been more just than this monster showing no more emotion than he would if he had been listening to a random lecture on a subject he didn't care about! I pray for these parents in their unimaginable loss.

That monster just sits there with his "I wouldn't hurt a fly" facial expression. While we all know the evil that lives behind those eyes. No middle finger from the woman defense attorney today?

Outstanding speech from her. So classy in the face of so much to complain about

I can't imagine how it is to speak to the person who killed your child. I don't know how they contain themselves. They are so strong.

[@jeremie2020]

What stuns me is that Cruz never shed a single tear or expressed any remorse throughout this trial...it tells a lot on how emotionless this murder is.

[@nofacenofacetrinity]

Man. This is so horrifically sad. This kid was failed miserably by his family and community and as a result innocent lives were taken. God bless everyone lost and involved in this trial.

@@tomsevcik1792 haha unfortunately no. I swear most people on social media either watch too many movies or don't know what the heck they're talking about. I understand you all want to see this guy suffer. But he's basically going to be on lockdown 23 hours a day. Probably PC it up 99% guaranteed. The only way somebody's going to be able to get to him if they really want to earn those stripes like that, it's going to take a lot of know how and a lot of connections through the CO's. But most serial killers Or mass Killers like this, they end up just dying in jail they never really get touched like that. Y'all should realize that. Get a clue 👌

Good, now he won't sit in a solitary cell for 30 years getting special privileges while he makes his appeals. Now, he's going to be in general pop. He's going to be beaten daily by the other inmates and he's going to grow old and die in a concrete box with no one to love him or hold his hand. There will be no peace for him, not a single day. Every day he'll wonder if today is the day someone shanks him for credit on the block.

there is NOTHING behind his eyes. he's not sorry, he's not remorsful, he does not care. I think he should have been given the death sentence, but I think that would get him off the hook. giving him life in prison will force him to have to live the rest of his life knowing EXACTLY what he did, and everyone that he hurt.

[@l0rdGUD]

Consider: Psychiatric drugs(“medicine”) alter brain chemistry/chemicals & are notorious for eventually inducing psychopathic traits in individuals. Those drugs often lead to those deemed “mentally ill” becoming sociopathic & ultimately “crashing out”. Certain drugs prescribed/administered in psychiatry can also diminish recollection…
