Here you will discover the more rugged island landscape, including divi divi trees. Visitors will undoubtedly see an abundance of marine life and enjoy the beautiful white-sand beaches that dot the island. If you aren't interested in getting wet, there's plenty to do on dry land too.

Parkland murderer sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole

He said that the jury's decision sets a precedent for other mass shooters, adding, "He should have been given the death penalty from the get-go." "I sent my daughter to school and she was shot eight times. I am so beyond disappointed and frustrated with this outcome. I just don’t understand this," she said. "We are beyond disappointed with the outcome today," Lori Alhadeff, whose daughter, Alyssa was killed, said at a news conference after the jury's decision was announced. Gena Hoyer holds a photograph of her son, Luke, who was killed in the 2018 shootings, as she awaits the verdict at the Broward County Courthouse on Thursday. In an event marking the third anniversary of the shooting in February, US President Joe Biden called for Congress to pass gun law reforms, including a ban on assault weapons and an end to legal immunity for gun manufacturers.

Behavioral issues and social media

She stopped short of condemning the jurors personally for their decision to recommend life without the possibility of parole and acknowledged the process was likely traumatizing for them as well. She also spoke passionately on the law enforcement response to the Parkland shooter and on police shootings of Black people in the US. The mother of Helena Ramsay, a 17-year-old Marjory Stoneman senior who was killed in the Parkland massacre, made an impassioned plea for change and condemned the trial's outcome outside court today. Oliver's mother, Patricia, said the family was not expecting this decision and added that the families of victims and the entire community of Parkland and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School are suffering. The jury returned identical answers on aggravating and mitigating circumstances for each of the 17 counts and the same findings and recommendation for every victim.

He also hid additional magazines in his vest and backpack, according to the police report. The suspect, who was expelled from the school last year for disciplinary reasons, was taken into custody about an hour after fleeing school grounds. The lengthy trial saw prosecutors call witnesses who recalled seeing students and staff members die and argue that the gunman had displayed racist and misogynistic behavior online prior to the massacre.

"I don't want to spend more time thinking about this horrendous person, this monster." "But now I have to deal with the fact that this guy ... is going to have a chance to have a hobby, and enjoy three meals and, you know, read every single day. I don't like that. I hope that justice appears in any way at some point." The juror, who is from Pembroke Pines, told Judge Elizabeth Scherer that she lived up to the terms of the oath of service she took. FORT LAUERDALE -- A juror who allegedly was a lone holdout and was accused of saying she would not support the death penalty for Nikolas Cruz sent a handwritten letter to the judge to refute those accusations. "I pray that that animal suffers every day of his life in jail. And he should have a short life," Alhadeff added.

Jurors are allowed one phone call a day and that will be monitored by a law enforcement officer. That led to an exchange between the prosecution and Judge Elizabeth Scherer. The judge initially said she intended to send the firearm to the jury, but was unable to because of "security reasons." The Broward County Sheriff's Office did not want to take the unloaded, inoperable firearm back to the jury room at that time.

Shooting

From Thrillplex activities like a race track at sea, to adults-only experiences like Vibe H2O, there's no shortage of fun waiting onboard. Fuentes said that in the aftermath of the shooting she has dealt with PTSD, suicidal ideations, and "constant fear someone ... will finish off the job" of killing her. During the shooting, Fuentes said that she watched Cruz kill two of her friends as he "sprayed my classroom with bullets," and that she was shot in the leg. She said that she has scars on her leg from the "hot shrapnel" that was lodged inside.

True, Abigail is budgeted much higher than The Invisible Man, but even a $28 million budget spend is a bargain these days for a studio film. Of course, Abigail must first perform well at the box office to even merit consideration, so if it meets its projected $12 million to $15 million take at this weekend’s box office (per Variety), it will already be halfway to recouping its $28 million production budget. One of the main reasons to book a cruise from Miami is exploring the Panama Canal.

Petty, who serves on the state State Board of Education, was also critical of the shooter's defense. "The lack of empathy, and humanity shown to our families by this defense team — it's indefensible," he said. And that it’s one of the Bard’s lighter works rather then one of his tragedies is a good thing.

Nikolas Cruz pleaded guilty last year to 17 counts of murder and 17 counts of attempted murder in connection to the shooting. The jury had to decide whether to recommend Cruz be sentenced to death or jailed for life without the possibility of parole for each of the 17 counts. Nikolas Cruz, 24, pleaded guilty last year to 17 charges of premeditated murder and 17 counts of attempted murder. The question facing jurors now was whether Cruz would spend the rest of his life in prison or be sentenced to death. The parents of Marjory Stoneman geography teacher Scott Beigel, who was killed ushering students to safety in the Parkland school shooting, echoed the sentiment of other parents outside court today, saying the gunman should have been sentenced to death.

More than 3,200 students attend Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where approximately 130 teachers work. Videos published as the shooting unfolded showed dozens of students streaming out of classrooms as authorities escorted them out of classrooms following a lockdown. Graphic images and videos posted by students inside these classrooms showed children crying and blood on the floors in the aftermath. There is another option — Florida is one of many states that participate in the Interstate Prison Compact, an agreement to effectively exchange high-profile prisoners when lives might be at stake. Multiple sources say Cruz is not part of that program and that he remains in Florida. The statements were similar to those made Tuesday, when family members told Cruz he will "burn in hell."

On October 20, Cruz pleaded guilty to all charges, including murder and attempted murder. Cruz made a statement after pleading guilty in which he expressed regret for his crimes and asked the victims' families to decide his fate. In her victim impact statement, Parkland school shooting victim Joaquin Oliver's girlfriend, Victoria Gonzalez, spoke of the trauma she lives with after the shooting.

He and his fellow castmates seem very much at home in director Emily Burns’ version, which she places in a swanky spa called Navarre nestled on a South Pacific island. Five years ago he began toying around with the idea of a sequel, but it took the death of his parents — his father and his mother died within two years of each other — plus the pandemic to focus his mind. Renfield aside, director Leigh Whannell made a huge hit out of the 2020 remake of The Invisible Man, which pulled in a whopping $139 million at the global box office against a $7 million production (via The Numbers).

FORT LAUDERDALE — The gunman who murdered 17 people at a Parkland high school nearly five years ago has spent the last nine weeks in the custody of the Florida of Corrections. Legal experts have speculated multiple jurors were against the death penalty because of the jury's short deliberation time of little more than a day. The culmination of that protracted and painful ordeal with a life sentence rather than death shocked many family members.
