FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - The deposition in the case between a Parkland shooting victim’s father and two school officials took place Monday morning.
At the Broward County Courthouse, Andrew Pollack, Scot Peterson and Andrew Medina all made their way into the deposition.
Pollack is suing both Peterson and Medina in a wrongful death lawsuit, saying they did nothing to stop the gunman from killing his daughter, Meadow Pollack, as well as 16 others.
Medina formerly worked at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School as a security monitor, while Peterson worked as a resource officer for Broward County Public Schools.
The Broward Sheriff’s Office said Peterson never ran into the school during the massacre.
Meanwhile, a report showed Medina didn’t do anything to stop the gunman despite spotting him and radioing campus security.
“This lying turd had a choice today either to step up and accept responsibility for what happened and be done with him, but he couldn’t do it,” said Pollack.
7News cameras were not allowed inside of the courtroom but were able to catch Peterson and Medina walking in to get deposed by Pollack’s attorneys.
Legal representatives for both Medina and Peterson said they would not give a comment at this time.
“I just had to be subjected to two lying sack of turds. That’s what it was that I was subjected to be in that room, but in order to get accountability, this is what I have to do,” said Pollack.
Medina recently sought a protection order against Pollack after the latter showed up at a youth baseball game the former school employee was coaching.
The protection order was filed so that Pollack would not be able to attend Monday’s deposition, but the court denied the order.
Pollack said that he is not a threat to anyone despite suing Medina and Peterson.
The Parkland father said he is looking for justice he believes his daughter deserves.
“Whoever let my daughter down that day is going to get exposed,” said Pollack. “I’ve been saying that from the beginning. None of them has accepted responsibility, even to this day.”
Medina’s deposition was not completed Monday and will be rescheduled for a later date.
Pollack said that Peterson will be deposed on Tuesday.
