CBS Miami December 31, 2021 The start date of Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz's sentencing trial has been pushed back. Broward Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer had previously ordered it to start in early January 2022. In an order issued, December 29th, Scherer said that has changed. "The Court previously set this matter down for a trial date in January 2022. Both parties, however, have represented to this Court that they each need additional time to prepare their experts for trial and will not be ready to commence trial on the scheduled January date," wrote Scherer in the order.
