FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The deliberation room where 12 jurors decided the fate of confessed mass shooter Nikolas Cruz may have been a crime scene itself — a juror says she was threatened during deliberations, and prosecutors want the claim investigated.
According to a motion filed late Thursday, prosecutors want to interview a juror who called the Broward State Attorney’s Office after the verdict was read and asked to speak to lead prosecutor Mike Satz.
The juror “informed the support staff member that during deliberations she received what she perceived to be a threat from a fellow juror while in the jury room.”
