A Florida sheriff's deputy's response to the 2018 Parkland school massacre was hampered by a radio system that collapsed
Broward Sheriff's Office communications operator Samantha Oakley testifies during the trial of former Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School School Resource Officer Scot Peterson at the Broward County Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Friday, June 23, 2023.
Peterson’s primary defense to the felony child neglect charges is that the gunshots’ echo made it impossible for him to pinpoint the shooter and that the radio system's failure made it impossible for him to hear what most arriving deputies were seeing and hearing. Oakley said that another major problem during the shooting was that the 911 cellphone calls students and teachers made from inside the three-story 1200 building reporting shooter Nikolas Cruz's location didn't go to the Broward County dispatch center, but instead went to Parkland's neighboring city of Coral Springs. Its police officers worked on a separate radio system from the county and it was transmitting without issues.
Fein rejected Eiglarsh's motion to summarily acquit Peterson, even though he appeared skeptical that the prosecution had proven that the deputy was a “caregiver” to the students — one of requirements of felony child neglect. Florida law defines a caregiver as “a parent, adult household member or other person responsible for a child’s welfare.” Caregivers are guilty of felony neglect if they fail to make a “reasonable effort” to protect children or don't provide necessary care.
