Judge Nicholas Primm, who is presiding over the case, ordered the media not to show the students' faces during the televised trial. The defense did not cross-examine any of the students who testified."
""I remember standing up and turning my back towards the door, and that's when I saw him, Colt. He was pointing the weapon, just aiming anywhere, I guess," testified Melany Delira-Castaneda, who was a freshman at the time of the shooting. The now 16-year-old girl testified that she didn't realize she had been shot until after the gunshots subsided. "I remember standing up and I turned around.""
