Remembering Parkland: Lessons for Curbing Mass Violence Parallel Justice

In this episode, Renee Williams interviews Michael Haggard,
managing partner of Haggard Law Firm out
of Florida, in person. Michael Haggard and his firm have been representing
crime victims for the last 20 years and played a major role in the cases
surrounding the 2018 shooting that occurred at Stoneman Douglas High School in
Parkland, Florida, where 17 people lost their lives and 17 more were injured.
Michael Haggard represented three victims from the Parkland
shooting: student Joaquin Oliver, cross-country coach Scott Beigel, and teacher
Stacey Lippel. Multiple civil cases resulted from the shooting. The FBI was
targeted in one for failing to act when they were given a tip about the shooter
announcing he was going to open fire on the high school the night before it
happened. Other lawsuits were filed against the school board and the local
police departments.

Tune in to learn more about the ongoing cases and the
lessons that we, as a nation, can learn from what happened in the aftermath of
this tragic shooting.
