Broward County normally does not make national news. A small exception has been the recent Spring Break crowds. However, one of the biggest Broward County national news items for years has been the unpopular decision by a Broward County jury in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas mass murder sentencing phase. Years after the murders, the criminal who killed 17 innocent people and injured 17 others was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
