In a news conference Thursday after hearing a not guilty verdict be read, former Parkland school resource officer Scot Peterson wept. “I got my life back,” he cried. “The only person to blame is that monster. We did the best we could with the information we had.” Peterson was acquitted of child neglect and culpable negligence stemming from the school shooting massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in February 2018.

I'm still shocked that any woman would actually marry this p**
They should keep this man's photo in schools to show what a real man does not look like
The right decision was made, I feel a great amount of sympathy for the victims and their families but the right decision was made in this case 6:58:02
Wow nikolas Cruz didn’t get the death penalty and Scott wasn’t found guilty 😢 what a bizarre ending
He froze up as a security officer folded like a leaf he talking about people throwing daggers he hid he ran away he coward out.
He owes Mark he got him off of 100yrs period.
He got his life back. The kids he was paid to protect don't. He won't be able to walk the street without shame forever.
Wondering if you all would feel the same watching him stand if it was your child lost.
Not guilty – yes
COWARD -YES
POS clearly stood by the door… and did absolutely nothing…
every police department in the country should be required to remove the logo, to protect and serve from their city property.
I told it on day one.
You will never ever see a cop get a guilty verdict,
They have so much influence that they control any verdict of a jury.
NOT GUILTY .. BUT FOREVER A COWARD!!
Guilty or not, he's still a coward!
He’s a coward
Hide in shame you coward! You had only one job- protect those kids! You are to blame for saving your own skin instead of going in that school. You should be in a prison cell
A coward, of course? Criminal???? That's ridiculous…..
F this guy
So, the Parkland Shooter avoided death penalty. And this coward avoided jail time. The only people who actually paid ANY price are the corpses of children that have been dead for half a decade.
But yay. You got your “life” back. If this man gets to heavens gates, it’s going to be a very awkward talk when he meets the dead kids.
He will still be called a coward for the rest of his life, and it will be painful for him and his family. The victim's families needed someone to blame. I don't think they were being malicious; their pain was misguided. The best to everyone affected by this senseless tragedy.
Only thing he’s guilty of is being a coward. Shouldn’t be locked up but he should be ashamed for what he didn’t do. Don’t wear the badge if you don’t have the courage
Yesssssss the man that allowed the shooting got off on all charges!!! ❤❤❤❤🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫💯💯💯💯💯.
It's funny that most Cops that I have heard talking about this have call him a coward and civilians call him a victim……….
What a joke of a human
He got his life back but those kids are still dead! Coward! No regret or sadness for those gunned down.
This was the right call.
Wait, so this guy stood outside while kids were getting killed and instead of taking action he did nothing? On top of that, everyone in this comment section is defending him? This guy is a coward!
The biggest crime here is an 18 year old was able to buy an AR-15 and kill kids.
Bless him❤❤❤
Great Lawyer, Bad Person
45 mins..?
Scot must appreciate being "defended" Pitty he was to cowardly to defend those children.
The event was traumatizing for everyone involved.
As should ✊🏿glad u free my brotha
There was one person to blame in this and that was the one person who woke up and decided to go to that school to steal the lives of innocent children & adults. My heart hurts for every life lost and their families. Their pain must be unbearable. But, I think the jury got this right. Bless this man and his family. Thank you for your service.
Maybe saying "I got my life back" when the children didn't, isn't the most sensitive of comments.
Amen, defense lawyer is the best, this is a great interview, God Bless
Those parkland parents of the victims blaming this man no blame nikolas cruz
I feel this is the right decision. He was one man, he didn't know we're the shooter was. When backup arrived , they also didn't engaged the shooter right away either. They stood outside the room in the hallway 6 minutes before they encounter the shooter. Sorry for the loss of the lives of those pracious children. There should be at less 4 or 5 school officers in the school.
Coward
The Broward Coward…
No dignity!
The families who wanted this man’s head on a plate are looking in the wrong direction. The authorities failed them, not this man, they should be ashamed of themselves. Justice overcame a politically driven case, they didn’t get their patsy. Amazing lawyer and the jury got it right! ❤️
Phenomenal job Mark, good for you!
sounds like a good lawyer….but whatever the real truth is, Scott will need to live with that the rest of his life, good or bad
Unfortunately we have unethical prosecutors trying to score political points for themselves
