CBS Miami March 21, 2022 The penalty trial for Nikolas Cruz is on track to begin April 4th with jury selection, according to the judge at a Friday status conference with the lawyers. Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer also set aside full days on March 30 and 31 to address any issues either side might have before the jury selection begins. The hearings will take place in the courtroom where the trial will take place so attorneys can become familiar with the technology being used during the trial. "We have a very good organizational plan, and most of the issues have been addressed," Scherer said. "That's a very good start."
