David S. Weinstein, a Miami criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor who is not involved in the case, said the defense believes that since Cruz pleaded guilty, the gun and other evidence such as surveillance video and crime scene photos are no longer relevant and serve to inflame the jurors’ emotions.

Those were not shown to the gallery, where several parents and family members sat, but were later shown to reporters in private. As most mass shooters die during their attacks and aren’t brought to trial, it is rare that such photos are seen outside of law enforcement.
