Former school resource officer Scot Peterson is on trial for allegedly not following active shooter training during the Parkland school massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in February 2018. Peterson — dubbed “The Broward Coward” — has been criticized for his actions after surveillance video showed him remaining outside the high school while shots were fired inside killing 14 students and threes staff members. Peterson faces seven counts of felony child neglect, three counts of culpable negligence, and one count of perjury. He and his defense team believe the once “dedicated officer” did nothing wrong.

Very guilty. Sham verdict
This trial made no sense, the Supreme Court ruled a few years ago that nobody was required to die for another person even if they are a first responder. Perhaps the FBI should have been sued since they knew the danger the killer posed and did nothing.
Hopefully he apologized to the parents of the victims, I'm sorry but I heard the videos of the lies
They certainly let the killer off the hook!
These poor families- no justice in the death penalty case, and no justice for the coward that listened to their children being murdered. These Florida juries are disgusting and should be ashamed of themselves. I hope not one of them gets a restful nights sleep ever again. Shameful.
I'm rather shocked by the decision and by the comments. The purgery part was bogus. However, I believe that even after the shooter was gone, this guy should have done something for "his students." Nobody seems to be explaining why they like the verdict and I'm absolutely at a loss here. It's good for him that I wasn't in this jury. We would have been deadlocked and they would have got to do it again. Why do you guys want to let him walk? Even giving his gun and supplies to someone else would have been better than sitting around. Apply a tourniquet or a chest seal for goodness sake!
What is wrong with this video? It's blank except for the symbol on the wall for HOURS until the end and then it's silent anyway with nothing happening
6:22:00 his attorney is crying… but wants his money
So profoundly proud of my professor Mark on this and every case he defends! The jury got it right ❤❤❤ he is just a human being 😢 I’m sad that after all those years of service and sacrifice he had to endure this horrible trial, where people talked about the killings etc! I’m sorry that the State of FL decided to prosecute this case.
If he went in there to try to stop this guy, he would have came out dead… I cannot believe a mother would take her son to a gun range to shoot…just insane.
Peterson took his paycheck on now his pension but failed to do his job. If your primary motive is to survive you are in the wrong job. It's one thing to take precautions to minimize your risk and it something else to stand, hiding, while persons in your charge are killed. I honestly don't understand all the support for this malingering cop I read here. It's disgusting. Why should he be paid when he failed to perform his job?
This man was not the killer, I’m so glad for this verdict it is the right verdict. This was a political witch hunt that backfired for the world to see!!
Thank goodness, a just verdict I think. This was basically an old fationed cowardice trail.
Murica 😂😂
I can’t believe the comments congratulating Scot are real, thank God that we have a 2nd Amendment in the US because I can’t imagine leaving our defense up to people like this
No surprise as this Broward county cop comes from a district rife with cops who are loosers and suspended more than they are on the job .
Soooo… What's happening with the Uvalde cops? SO MANY people there, clearly cowards, holding back parents, upper brass lying etc? THOSE are the men that should be on this stand, in front of America. Not this poor soul.
How they gave this person a not guilty verdict is beyond me. He said he could figure out where the shots were being fired but he sure found a place where they weren't being fired and stayed there for forty minutes while kids were being slaughtered. Innocent my big old butt! Children died and he gets off and sounds like people are good with it. The whole idea of having these officers in the schools is to protect the kids.
Nineteen children and two adults were killed in a shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde on May 24, 2022. It is the deadliest shooting ever at a Texas public school. And the Police Chief made them wait it out until the shooting was over. while children were texting to "Please send someone to save us." I guess in thier minds he's not guilty as well? Huh?
Well done to the jury. Very tough case, 💯 correct outcome. So much love sent to the families of the victims
Why upload this
The defence lawyer earned his money on opening statement. I went into this feeling that this guy was a coward and deserved to be held partially accountable. But after opening statement the Defence lawyer had swung my opinion 180 degrees.
He was a chicken who decided someone else's children were not worth risking his own safety. The courts helped him out with "the strategy": Just wait long enough until the heat dies down, then years later when it's not in the news every day, quietly let him off the hook! What happened to "protect and serve"? He actually said "it's not my job to protect children"!
