CBS Miami July 12, 2021 Attorneys for accused Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz want a judge to close all future hearings to the media and the public to ensure a fair trial. Cruz is accused of killing 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018. A motion filed Thursday by lawyers for Cruz says news coverage of pretrial hearings could instill bias among prospective jurors in the death penalty case.
