From your link…Defense for Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz asks for 45-day continuance
The final phase of the sentencing trial of Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz is scheduled to get underway Monday morning.
During the sentencing trial, the jurors will be exposed to graphic evidence, including crime scene and autopsy photos, and tour the three-story classroom building where Cruz methodically stalked the halls, shooting at anyone in front of him and into classrooms. It has not been cleaned since the shooting and remains bloodstained and bullet-pocked, with Valentine's Day gifts strewn about.

I hope that schools everywhere are ordering new classroom doors that either have no windows at all, or are fitted with AR-15 resistant ballistic materials. So many students were wounded or killed when the shooter blasted through those windows.

Parkland families read statements through tears at penalty phase of gunman's trial
Families of Parkland victims are addressing the court Monday during the penalty phase of the confessed shooter's trial.
I didn't follow this case in the news, so I really didn't know any of the details. This sentencing trial is heart breaking. So many details coming out. I can't imagine those poor parents having to hear them. Even the defense attorneys were in tears. That person who did this is so disgusting. So sick it is beyond human comprehension...at least for me. I am shocked that one can be so evil. I believe had he not been caught, he would have done it again and again until his life ended. Such a waste!!Parkland families read statements through tears at penalty phase of gunman's trial

"The gut-wrenching testimony of grieving parents whose children were killed in the Parkland massacre was even too much for the shooter's own lawyers to bear in court on Tuesday."

Jurors will trace the path of the confessed Parkland gunman at the high school where he murdered 17 people. The trip to the crime scene will be Thursday morning, as the prosecution continues its portion of the sentencing trial.
The gunman’s defense attorneys waived Nikolas Cruz’s right to be there. He remains isolated from other inmates in Broward’s main jail.
The freshman building has been preserved as a crime scene in preparation for this day. The jury will be allowed to observe the items and rooms left behind after the shooter roamed the hallways at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, firing into classrooms or shooting as people fled through the hallways of the three-floor building.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Jurors in the trial of Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz toured the still blood-spattered rooms of a three-story building at Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Thursday, an extremely rare visit to an intact crime scene sealed off since he murdered 14 students and three staff members four years ago.

The panelists and their law enforcement escorts were accompanied into the building by Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer, prosecutors and Cruz's attorneys, and walked through the site for about an hour and a half. Cruz waived his right to go with them. Journalists were being escorted into the site after the jury left, for the first public look. They were allowed to carry paper and pen but no cameras.

The building's interior has been left nearly intact since the shooting: Bloodstains still smear the floor, and doors and walls are riddled with bullet holes. Windows in classroom doors are shot out. Rotted Valentine's Day flowers, deflated balloons and other gifts are strewn about. Only the bodies and personal belongings such as backpacks have been removed.
