Parkland Shooter Nikolas Cruz Agrees to Donate Brain to Science and Give Away Rights to Name in New Civil Settlement
Parkland mass shooter Nikolas Cruz has agreed to donate his brain to science and hand over the rights to his name in a civil settlement reached with one of his victims.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Nikolas Cruz was sentenced to life in prison in 2022 for killing 17 students and staffers at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland on February 14, 2018.
Anthony Borges, one of the students who survived the shooting and was shot by Cruz five times, reached a unique settlement with Cruz, ordering the school shooter to donate his brain to science and own all rights to Cruz’s name.
Borges’s lawyer stated, “I figured if scientists studied his brain, they might be able to figure out what created this monster.”
“Maybe there was some kind of imbalance that caused this that we can prevent in the future,” added Arreaza.
The victim’s settlement regarding the rights to Cruz’s name will give Borges full control over when journalists, authors, and producers can speak to Cruz.

Per Fox 35:
Florida mass shooter Nikolas Cruz has agreed to donate his brain to science in a “unique” civil settlement reached with one of his victims, according to court papers and experts.
Cruz used an AR-15 assault rifle to massacre 17 students and staffers at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland on Feb. 14, 2018, in one of the deadliest mass shootings in the nation’s history.
An attorney for Anthony Borges, 21, who was shot five times in the attack, proposed the unusual stipulation.
“I figured if scientists studied his brain they might be able to figure out what created this monster,” Borges’ lawyer, Alex Arreaza, told Fox News Digital. “Maybe there was some kind of imbalance that caused this that we can prevent in the future.”
