3. SOUNDBITE (English) Judge Jack Ewing:
"I understand that the questions you were asked were not easy. But your service at this time has now come to an end, but I’m sure as you leave here today, you will carry with you the memories of what you have heard and what you have seen and witnessed in this courtroom over the last three weeks. The pain and the hurt resulting from this tragic event that occurred on May 18th of 2018 are without a doubt long lasting and far reaching. But hopefully, hopefully you will also be able to leave here knowing that even in the face of tragedy and crisis, we can survive."
4. Parents of Dimitrios Pagourtzis react as judge reads the verdict
STORYLINE:
A Texas civil jury says the parents of a former student accused of killing 10 people in a 2018 Santa Fe high school shooting can’t be held responsible for what happened.
Jurors announced their decision Monday. Jurors did hold Dimitrios Pagourtzis responsible and awarded families more than $300 million total in damages.
A victims’ lawsuit alleged that the parents – Antonios Pagourtzis and Rose Marie Kosmetatos – failed to provide necessary support for Pagourtzis’ mental health and didn’t do enough to prevent the then-17-year-old from accessing their guns.
Pagourtzis is being held at a state mental health facility and has been declared mentally incompetent to stand trial.
The victim’s lawsuit sought to hold Pagourtzis and his parents financially liable for the shooting.
