In a conversation between Ms Lewis and Cruz on 14 April, the mass murderer blamed the internet, him being sent to a special education school and being made to feel “stupid” for carrying out the attack.Īccording to the summary, Cruz said he believed his “unlimited access to things on the Internet affected him”. Ms Lewis was recently awarded $45m in damages from far-right extremist and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones for spreading lies that the massacre that killed her son was a “hoax” and “false flag” operation. “And you will hear through those conversations that together, her and Nick are trying to find a way to prevent this from ever happening again.” “You will hear that he talks and has video visitations with a woman by the name of Scarlett Lewis whose six-year-old son, Jesse Lewis, was murdered in Sandy Hook,” his defence attorney said. The visit summaries also revealed details of communications between Cruz and the mother of one of the victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre.ĭuring the defence’s opening statement last week, Cruz’s attorney told the court that Cruz had been in contact with Scarlett Lewis whose six-year-old son Jesse was one of 26 victims murdered in the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, on 14 December 2012. Ms Browd said that they took the boys to buy Valentine’s Day gifts for their mother. The following Valentine’s Day, Ms Browd said that Cruz and Zachary came to her and her husband and said: “Daddy is not going to bring Mommy flowers, candy, and a card but we would like to.” In August 2004, Cruz watched his father die from a heart attack when he was just five years old. In that call, dated 28 January, Cruz spoke “about the fact that he thinks Zachary Cruz should go visit their step mother for Valentine’s Day,” the call summary reads.Įarlier this week, Lynda’s former best friend Finai Browd testified how a six-year-old Cruz wanted to shower his mother in Valentine’s Day gifts the year after his adoptive father Roger died. In another video visit with both Mr Moore and Zachary, Cruz urged his brother to visit Lynda’s grave on Valentine’s Day – the anniversary of his murderous rampage. Zachary, who shares both the same biological mother as Cruz and was also adopted by Lynda and Roger Cruz as a baby, has stood by his brother over the last four years. Mr Moore had never met Cruz or his brother prior to the mass shooting.

His contacts include Mr Moore, who took Cruz’s brother Zachary under his wing in the aftermath of the massacre and has attended parts of the trial in support of Cruz. The documents reveal the killer’s conversations with the small handful of people who have been in contact with him as he awaits sentencing on 17 counts of murder and 17 counts of attempted murder. The chilling conversations about the hat are included in a summary of jailhouse video visits from 28 January to 18 April this year, obtained by Local10.
