In this Jan. 11, 2019, photo, suspended Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel listens to comments by his attorney at a news conference after new Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis suspended Israel in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., over his handling of February's massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Israel testified for seven hours Wednesday, June 19, while fighting to regain his job. A lawyer for DeSantis focused his questions on training that former Deputy Scot Peterson received before the shooting in February 2018. Israel replied that Peterson was trained but there's no way he could have given him the courage to confront the shooter.
