After four days of deliberation, former Broward County Deputy Scot Peterson was found not guilty on all 11 charges related to the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Peterson, who was the only armed school resource officer on campus when the shooting started, was charged with child neglect and other counts in connection with the deaths and injuries on an upper floor of the building. After the verdict was read, Peterson was sobbing in court and spoke to the court, saying, "Don't anybody ever forget this was a massacre on February 14."
