Circuit Court Judge Elizabeth Scherer, who oversaw the Parkland School shooter’s penalty phase trial for six months, is now finding herself in hot water. During the trial, Scherer had several heated arguments with Nikolas Cruz’s defense attorneys and hugged prosecutors at the end of the trial. Months later, her behavior is being called into question.

I would relate to the judge, I would be upset too if I was insulted the same way that the judge and witnesses were insulted
Judge got a raw deal. The defense attorneys were scumbags. And shame on the sham Florida Supreme Court..
She was genuinely just upset they were taking their sweet time when there was a 4 year prolonged trial due to the petty behavior of the defense.
"They threatened my children."
"I don't remember that."
"What if they threatened your children?"
"HOW DARE YOU THREATEN MY CHILDREN!!!!!"
Some of these public defenders work on the notion that they're "lifers".
Ive NEVER seen a judge behave like such a NAZI
SHE is so wrong in her conduct.
This case too long, just put Nikolas Cruz in jail, it works, no lawyers,
Little child, teenage child,
Little children, and teenager children between it,
Judge is out line too, huh, their children too, Cruz lawyers are married duh,
I watched this myself and the judge wasn’t unprofessional at all. In fact, she was disrespected. The defence was sloppy and disrespectful, they would not listen to her and kept answering back.
She had all the right to be mad about how immature their team was behaving. Geez. They were just a bunch of kids in detention hating on the teacher.
judge LOON …
This is what’s wrong with our country
Sooo it was ok for people to talk about the Defense Councils kids but Judge Pick Me's kids is a different story? Nah. She let being on tv get to her head. She tainted the whole thing with her mean girl behavior.
Prime example of being bad at your job. Simply pathetic.
If anything the Judge was the most professional in this entire trial, it is a very delicate and hard situation she was put on, and frankly she made the best decision and judge called, not many people would handle this horrendous event the way she did.
From what i have seen, the impact statements that was directed at defense was ridiculous and the judge should not have allowed it..the impact statements are suppose to be directed at the monsters like him not at court officials. I feel for the families and i know they are very upset with life in prison without parole..it was stated that she decided to retire but from what i know is that she was basically forced out because of proven fact she could not be partial and was bias..it showed during the hearing. My condolences to the 17 families and to the 17 victims who were injured because of this coward butthead
Gordon Weekes is a coward!
Judge sounds like she’s out of ghetto 😂
The judge tried to avoid the defense team’s concerns about victims bringing up their families by claiming she didn’t hear those comments. The defense lawyer shut that excuse down by astutely reminding the judge that if a witness brought up her family, she would certainly have heard it. The judge very quickly realized her position was untenable and so she reacted emotionally and falsely accused the defense of threatening her family. The judge was correctly reprimanded for it by the supreme court.
With her Attitude she would be Perfect for the Police Force.
She was totally professional! The defense were childlike! They should be disbarred
she was unprofessional and biased.
She was very professional. I’m guessing it’s a bunch of men questioning her professionalism 🤣
She's hot.
