More than a year after the massacre, the former Broward County sheriff's deputy now faces child neglect, culpable negligence and perjury charges.
Peterson's
attorney, Joseph A. DiRuzzo III, said the charges appear to be "a

Peterson." He said Peterson cannot be prosecuted as a caregiver since he
was acting as a law enforcement officer in an official capacity.

"He's
wearing a bulletproof vest ... while school security guards, coaches
pretty much, were running in shielding kids," he said.
