Attorneys for Nikolas Cruz have requested the presiding judge be removed from his death penalty case after the judge labeled a decision made by the defense as 'unprofessional.'Defense attorney Melisa McNeil abruptly rested the defense after notifying both Broward County Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer and the prosecution that the defense would be calling 80 witnesses. Scherer called the decision to not warn her or the prosecution, which was not prepared to begin its rebuttal case, 'the most uncalled-for, unprofessional way to try a case.'
