Nikolas Cruz Signs Over Rights to His Name to Parkland Survivor
Anthony Borges, who was a freshman at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018 when he was severely wounded by a rampaging gunman, has been given the rights to his attacker’s name as part of a stunning civil settlement, according to his lawyer.
The result of the negotiated settlement will mean that Borges has the final say over where, when, and how Nikolas Cruz speaks publicly about the Parkland shooting, including to authors, journalists, and documentarians, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported on Thursday.
“He signed over any rights to his name,” Borges’ lawyer, Alex Arreaza, told the newspaper. “The idea now is to shut him out. He will not be the one who decides when or how the story gets told.”
