Juror Jailed and Held in Contempt of Court

 Orange County FL:  In October in the Okafor death penalty resentencing phase a juror admitted she spoke to a friend who knows the victim days before deliberations began.  She was sent to jail.  The defense motion for a mistrial was granted.  The offending juror may be assessed the cost of the 3-week trial that went for naught.  The family of the victim will have to live through the trauma of the sentencing phase for what appears to be a third time.
