{O/C} The perpetrator of the 2018 Parkland school shooting rampage has been formally sentence to life in jail without parole.

24-year-old Nikolas Cruz, handcuffed and clad in a red jail jumpsuit, appeared unmoved by the thirty-four consecutive life sentenced read out one by one.
Back on February 14, 2018, he carried out a murderous shooting rampage at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, killing 17 in total and wounding another 17.
He had pleaded guilty last year to the massacre.
The death sentence had once been considered, but was ditched because the jury could not unanimously agree on the execution.
Before his sentencing were two days of testimony where parents and distraught relatives of Cruz's victims vented their outrage and hate towards him.
They called him evil, a coward, a monster and a subhuman.
This marks a tearful end to a senseless atrocity, now that justice has been served.
