Scot Peterson, the ex-school resource officer accused of failing to confront the shooter in the 2018 Parkland school shooting that killed 17 people, has been acquitted of child neglect and negligence charges. Peterson, who was armed at the scene, was accused of taking cover instead of engaging the shooter. However, his defense argued that he was being scapegoated and couldn't determine where the shots were coming from in the chaos of the incident. After more than 19 hours of jury deliberation, Peterson was acquitted on all charges. Families of the victims expressed disappointment with the verdict, arguing that Peterson's inaction contributed to the suffering of the victims and the community. Peterson, who wept when the verdict was announced, expressed relief and stated that he would be willing to speak with the families of the victims to provide them with the truth about what happened. The Parkland shooting is the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history to go to trial, and Peterson's case is the first criminal prosecution of a law enforcement officer for failing to act during a school shooting.
