The Florida State Attorney's Office has released the redacted video of Parkland shooting suspect Nikolas Cruz's statement to law enforcement.
In late July, a Broward County judge ordered parts of what Cruz said to be released while excluding the "substance" of what officials say is his videotaped confession.
Earlier this week, a redacted transcript of the videotaped interview was made public.
Cruz's public defender had asked the entire statement to be kept from the public, saying it could influence a jury's decision. But, Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer said the defense didn't present enough evidence to suggest releasing the non-confession portions of Cruz's statement would prevent a fair trial.
Investigators interviewed Cruz for 13 hours, so even the redacted video is several hours long. 10News is currently reviewing the video. We've posted a small portion of it above. In the meantime, read the entire redacted transcript here.
