In the second video, Denney asks Cruz as he is finishing his second and final day of interviews is there “anything important that I haven't asked you?"
Cruz thought for about 10 seconds and then responded, “Why I chose Valentine's Day.” He then explained.
“Because I thought no one would love me," Cruz said. “I didn't like Valentine's Day and I wanted to ruin it for everyone.” A soft gasp went up from victim's parents and relatives sitting in the courtroom.
“Do you mean for the family members of the kids that were killed?” Denney asks.
“No, for the school,” Cruz replied. The holiday will never be celebrated there again, he said.
Marcus then read off the names of the 17 victims and after each asked Denney if fetal alcohol syndrome could explain why Cruz murdered that person. No, Denney replied 17 times.
Under cross-examination by defense attorney Casey Secor, Denney conceded Cruz said in their interviews he had been molested and raped by a neighbor. It is an issue the defense has wanted to present several times, but Judge Scherer ruled that the only three people who can corroborate the accusation aren't available. Cruz adoptive mother, Lynda Cruz, died months before the shootings and the alleged rapist and his mother no longer live in the United States and can't be forced to appear as witnesses.
