"Peterson’s perjury charge is clear-cut, Martin said. According to the affidavit, Peterson not only failed to go inside but then lied about how many gunshots he heard after arriving at the school."
This seems reasonable to go after him for. If they had ordered him inside and he refused, he essentially is not doing his job and should be fired/responsible for it. How much responsibility depends on whether he would have actually saved anyone if he had done his job as intended in my opinion.
For not going into a live situation without orders they should not hold him accountable for that as there is no clear cut S.O.P. when it comes to school shootings.
FTA, "According to a 2018 study of the sheriff’s department in Palm Beach County, which neighbors Parkland, the Forum found there was ambiguity about how officers should act during active-shooter situations — whether they should wait for backup or rush inside."

FBI training, which his department had been through, teaches engaging active shooters, and is absolutely SOP.
Knowing that he had been through that specific training and he failed to follow S.O.P. then I would be much more harsh on him for acting in that manner.
the perjury charge about the gun shots is the only one founded in law, the rest are , lets try to word it a certain way so he can be charged. Culpable negligence might float under Florida's wording.
the danger is twisting criminal statute to prosecute someone who probably be held accountable but there is no clear cut law they can be charged with that meets the satisfaction of grand standing prosecutors, media, and judges. Yes, they are grand standing here. They need to blame someone, not the system, and they have a candidate.
