The judge overseeing the Nikolas Cruz case ruled Friday that prosecutors can release the name of a juror who said they felt threatened by a fellow juror during deliberations this week to decide his sentencing.

Broward Judge Elizabeth Scherer made the decision during a brief hearing after prosecutors filed documents to compel an interview with the juror.

There are three jurors whose conduct have been questioned or have raised questions about the private deliberations that occurred when jurors decided to spare Cruz's life and send him to prison without the possibility of parole.
