On Feb. 14, 2018, a gunman murdered 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida. The co-founder of March for Our Lives talks about his life since, including death threats against himself and his family.

The jury will likely decide his fate this week. For the 24-year-old to get a death sentence, the jury must be unanimous on at least one victim.
The motion, filed on Friday, alleged that the judge revealed longstanding animosity toward the defense that threatened the fairness of the trial.
Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer called the decision without warning to her or the prosecution "the most uncalled for, unprofessional way to try a case."
