The enraged parent of a Parkland school massacre victim called for killer Nikolas Cruz to be murdered in jail at his sentencing Tuesday.
Michael Schulman, whose son, teacher Scott Beigel was murdered during the 2018 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, said he prayed for Cruz to suffer a “heinous” end behind bars.
Schulman told the court during his victim impact statement that he had an upcoming birthday and longed for only one grim gift.
“My hope, my prayer, is that for my birthday present I get word you are dead,” he said while jabbing his finger in Cruz’s direction.
“That the prisoners and the inmates you associate with execute the judgment that this court can’t.”
In a verdict that left the families of Cruz’s 17 victims stunned, a jury opted against applying the death penalty in the case.
