Florida school massacre suspect’s jail brawl trial pushed back
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The trial of the suspect in the 2018 Florida high school massacre for fighting a jail guard was delayed on Monday because his lead lawyer on the case has been hospitalized. Nikolas Cruz’s primary public defender on the battery case, David Wheeler, has been hospitalized since last week with an undisclosed illness. Cruz, 23, is charged with attacking a Broward County jail guard nine months after authorities say he killed 14 students and three staff members at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
