In May, jurors convicted Brazill of second degree murder for the death

today, another witness, the victims brother, reminded the judge of the
school surveillance video that showed Nathanial Brazill committing the
murder, then aiming the same weapon at another teacher.

you can see this was no accident.
Meanwhile supporters of Nathanial Brazill demonstrate outside the

complain that some of its investigators were being left out of meetings
