Jury to decide fate of deputy accused of fleeing during Parkland school massacre.

A Florida jury is deliberating whether former school resource officer Scot Peterson should be convicted of child neglect charges for failing to confront the gunman who killed 17 people and wounded 17 others at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018. Peterson faces seven felony child neglect charges and three misdemeanor charges in relation to deaths and injuries on the third floor of the building, which prosecutors argued he had a chance to stop. The trial is thought to be the first in the nation against a member of law enforcement for inaction in a school shooting.
