1. The 12 jurors and 10 alternates who will decide whether Nikolas Cruz receives the death penalty or life in prison for the Parkland school shooting made a rare visit to the scene of the crime on Thursday along with a select number of journalists. Large pools of dried blood still stained classroom floors and scenes of the chaos that day were still present. (WSVN)
