Even if you didn’t make your decision until this morning,” Scherer said. “To have 22 people plus all of the staff and every attorney march into court and be waiting as if it’s some kind of game … I have never experienced a level of unprofessionalism in my career. It’s unbelievable.” > Lead defense lawyer Melisa McNeill attempted to explain the decision, but the judge told her to wait. > > “Well judge, you’re insulting me on the record in front of my client,” the attorney said. > > “You’ve been insulting me the entire trial,” Scherer responded. > **[Uproar in court as Stoneman Douglas gunman’s defense rests without warning](https://www.sun-sentinel.com/2022/09/14/uproar-in-court-as-stoneman-douglas-gunmans-defense-rests-without-warning/)** > > Editor’s note: Daily coverage of the Parkland trial is being provided to all readers as a public service.
