The plea deals will be announced tomorrow where Cruz will bypass his trial and move forward to being sentenced for the 2018 school shooting. According to the New York Post, Cruz will also plead guilty to assaulting a Broward County jail guard.
Prior to the decision, Cruz’s lawyers said their client would have pleaded guilty if the death penalty was removed by prosecutors. However, their request was denied by the state.
