FLORIDA — The younger brother of Parkland, Florida, school shooter Nikolas Cruz has been sentenced to 6 months of probation for trespassing on the campus of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School earlier this month. Zachary Cruz will be released from the Broward County jail.
Zachary Cruz was initially jailed on a $500,000 bond, leading his attorney to argue that he was being punished because he was related to his brother Nikolas Cruz, who last month killed 17 people in one of the deadliest mass shootings in modern US history.
Under the terms of his probation, Cruz will wear a GPS monitor and must remain one mile away from the Marjory Stoneman Douglas campus. He is also forbidden from having any contact with victims or family members of the February 14 shooting.
