A clinical neuro-psychologist’s study of the effects of alcohol on fetal mice is the defense team’s latest attempt to secure a life sentence for the Parkland school shooter.
Dr. Paul Connor testified via a remote video link Monday that using any substance during pregnancy can impact the fetus. “We do know nicotine, cocaine, heroin, all of those can have an impact,” he said. “Alcohol – in the research that’s been done over now about 50 years – has consistently found very strong impacts on the fetus in multiple areas that were assessed both from the physical perspective and from the neurological perspective and from the neuropsychological and behavioral perspective.”
The defense team claims Nikolas Cruz showed all these signs since before he was born to a mother with alcohol and drug addictions.
