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 told prosecutors she was threatened by a fellow juror during deliberations.
Broward Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer gave prosecutors permission Friday to release the name of the juror making the allegation to the Broward Sheriff’s Office to open an investigation.
The Sheriff’s Office said in an emailed statement Friday afternoon that it had received the information about the juror’s complaint from the State Attorney’s Office and would begin an investigation.
