The convicted Parkland killer, Nikolas Cruz, now faces sentencing after pleading guilty to the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Jury selection in the deadliest U.S. mass shooting ever to go to trial will begin Monday with preliminary screening for the panel that will determine whether Nikolas Cruz will be put to death for murdering 17 students and staff members at a Parkland, Florida, high school.

Death penalty trials in Florida and much of the country often take two years to start because of their complexity, but Cruz's was further delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic and extensive legal wrangling. "I just hope everyone remembers the victims," he said. Cruz, he said,"told the world his plans on social media, carried out those plans in a cold and calculated manner and murdered my beautiful daughter, 13 of her classmates and three of her teachers."
