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.

The 911 personnel seem to be very competent and professional.
NOT GUILTY
Perry’s a liar lol
Excuses excuses that’s all I hear from defense and it’s witnesses
This is political scapegoating.
There appears to be a distinct Bias the judge has and he actually said it when the defense again raised an objection, he stated and then changed it quickly from "there is enough proof, well, that is going to be up to the jury to determine" Now, I do think this is a garbage defense lawyer because there were soooo many times he could have should have objected to the State on hearsay, I picked at least five times where the State used a hearsay or even a narrating question and he never raised any objection…
Prior testimony from the off duty that went in said " Peterson said everyone stop" bcuz there was too many people communicating at once. Bottom line. You go in whether it is to distract the shooter, or confront. Especially wearing a bullet proof vest. also, let it be known. These officers that have worked for the dpt. 28 years Make 3 figures a year as a RSO.
He may not be guilty…but he is a coward for the rest of his life.
If "officer" Perry isn't enough to disgust parents into either sending their kids to private school or doing home school, parents should start looking in the mirror. This dude actually made me nauseous.
Broward law enforcement cowards
Peterson is a terrible cop, but I don't see how they will convict him for being a coward. Maybe sue the police dept for hiring such a cowardly man.
Someone fill me in please. Im late to this. I know they're not charging this man for being a coward. It's a shame but it's not criminal imo. This is absurd!
Just like the cowards of Uvaldey Texas that took a whole hour and a half to “make plans to enter” as they hear dozens of shots ring out and children screaming. And then threatened to arrest parents for trying to go in and get their own kids. As a police officer your DUTY is to protect and serve the community and when you KNOW that somebody is taking life or about to take innocent life then you as a sworn officer need to act accordingly and take that threat out!! Especially when children are the victims. It’s sad that these people have had these jobs in the first place. And to sit outside while shots are fired inside of a school is nothing short of cowardly!
What a weak prosecution case. Florida is reacting to the parents outrage. Enough is enough.
Not guilty on all counts.
3:46 pm. Reasonable doubt, Not guilty, shooter did it all!!!
Reasonable doubt, Not guilty, Shooter did this all!!!
Sad situation but I don’t think this man is guilty.
Perry completely contradicts himself
Volume is terrible. Get better volume for closing arguments.
So I think Aaron was killed INSIDE the building?!? Why is Perry saying he was outside?!??
Lord I’m praying for Your hand in this man’s life. This is not his fault those poor people were dead either way. RIP parkland victims and my heart goes out to the families. 🥺
Dude you read that Christie thing… and it says teachers – SROs are not teachers you just contradicted urself my man 😂 you do not define what a caregiver is; Peterson is a cop not a caregiver. state failed to prove. Verdict = not guilty.
If Peterson had shot back and hit a student… where would we be with this trial?
