A female juror in the Parkland, Florida, shooting case was threatened during deliberations on Oct. 13, according to a new court filing.

The unnamed juror, identified in the filings as “Juror X,” called prosecutors on Thursday afternoon and said that while deliberations were happening, “she received what she perceived to be a threat from a fellow juror while in the jury room,” the Broward County State Attorney’s Office said late Oct. 13.
