The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/guns-arent-radically-deadlier-than-they-were-50-years-ago-but-our-sick-culture-is\/\" title=\"Guns Aren\u2019t Radically Deadlier Than They Were 50 Years Ago, But Our Sick Culture Is\">infamous shooting<\/a>, perpetrated by Nickolas Cruz \u2014 who is currently serving 34 consecutive life sentences \u2014 claimed the lives of 17 people and resulted in the injuries of an additional 17. One of those injured, 21-year-old Anthony Borges, suffered several gunshot wounds during the attack. Now, according to a report from local Florida outlet the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Borges recently settled a civil suit with Cruz.  Thanks to that settlement, Borges now owns Cruz\u2019s name. Due to the settlement, Cruz cannot enter into any financial deals involving his story \u2014 including docu-series, films, books, expos\u00e9s or any other related media \u2014 without the authorization of Borges.   \u201cThe idea is to keep him from being able to inflict further torture on his victims from jail,\u201d he said. \u201c[No] interviews at all unless Borges says it\u2019s OK,\u201d the Sentinel reported.  \u201cAnd Borges won\u2019t say it\u2019s OK. Not for a long time, at least.\u201d According to Borges\u2019s lawyer, the reasoning behind the move was to take away Cruz\u2019s ability to further \u201ctorture\u201d his victims by only telling his side of the story.  Should Cruz have received the death penalty instead of 34 consecutive life sentences?     Borges has stood alone legally since the Parkland incident. Though many of the other Parkland shooting victims\u2019 families settled a collective suit with the school district in 2021, Borges chose to separate himself, according to the Sentinel. As a result, Borges\u2019s attorney claims he netted a far bigger settlement.  Borges\u2019s legal aggressiveness has irked some in the Parkland community. As reported by the Sentinel, some believe that most of the recompense taken via suits should be set aside for the families of victims who died.  Such sentiments may not take into account the extent to which Borges\u2019s injuries are affecting him both daily and long-term. The Sentinel reported that Borges will be forced to pay for treatment for his injuries \u2014 caused by shots to the lungs, abdomen and legs \u2014 for the rest of his life.  Despite these costs, Borges told the Sentinel that he would not use his newfound rights to Cruz\u2019s name for financial benefit.
