RPT-ANALYSIS-Sheriff's deputy charged with neglect in Florida school shooting has strong defense -legal experts

A sheriff's deputy charged with failing to protect students during a mass shooting in a Parkland, Florida high school has a simple defense, some legal experts said - he did not have a duty to save the victims. Scot Peterson, 56, was arrested on Tuesday on charges of child neglect, negligence and perjury, and is in jail on $102,000 bond. Several law professors and defense lawyers said they were unaware of a previous case in which a law enforcement officer had been charged for failing to take an action.
