Cruise is accused of deliberate homicide on 17 after he opened fire in high school in Parkland, Florida, on Valentine's Day.

Although Cruz, filling out the documents after his arrest, said that he was very poor to afford a lawyer. His public defenders asked the judge to check whether Cruz really needed them, because he can afford a lawyer.

Cruz was initially barred from receiving money until he was 22, but Judge Elizabeth Scherer may require that Cruise hire his own lawyer, rather than use taxpayers' funds. In the case of the death penalty, the process itself can become costly.

Alternatively, public defenders may demand compensation from Cruise when he inherits, even if the case ends in the death penalty.

Cruz’s adoptive parents died at different times: Linda Cruz from respiratory illness at the end of last year, and Roger Cruise from heart failure in 2004.

Linda Cruz filed a lawsuit about the negligence of the doctor and clinic in the treatment of her husband before his death. She won the case in 2008 year, and on the advice of a lawyer, she transferred the compensation of $ 175 thousand to the trust fund for two adopted children of the pair Nicholas and Zachary Cruz.

Linda Cruise also sold her home in Parkland for $ 575 000, according to real estate records in Broward County.

Recall 14 February in high school in Parkland, Florida, shooting occurred as a result of which at least 17 people died and several injured. This crime was one of the most massive school shootings in US history. First, the attacker, Nicholas Cruise, triggered a fire alarm that caused panic at school, and then opened fire on the people running.
