FORT LAUDERDALE, FL - APRIL 27: Florida school shooting suspect Nikolas Cruz sits in court during a hearing on April 27, 2018, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The hearing is expected to deal with several procedural issues, possibly including setting an initial trial date and Cruz's public defender asking to waive Florida's speedy trial rule. The rule generally requires that a felony defendant go to trial within 175 days of arrest unless it's waived. Cruz, 19, is charged with 17 counts of murder and 17 counts of attempted murder in the February 14, 2018 school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Cruz's attorney has said he would plead guilty if guaranteed life without parole, but prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. (Photo by Taimy Alvarez-Pool/Getty Images)
