The Parkland school shooter's two-day sentencing hearing began Tuesday with the families of the 17 people he murdered addressing him in emotional and often angry terms about the devastation he brought to their lives.
Rebecca Jarquin spoke on behalf of a grandmother of 14-year-old Alyssa Alhadeff, who was killed by Nikolas Cruz in the Feb. 14, 2018, shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
"You made a decision, and I pray that you are tormented and tortured both physically and mentally because of it," Jarquin read from a statement. "… I'm tortured every day knowing that I won't receive a call saying, 'Grandma, can you,' or, 'Grandma, I love you.' All I have now are the memories."
