Prosecutors rested their case Monday in Bessman Okafor's murder trial, which briefly came to a grinding halt Monday when a juror sent the judge a note about possible misconduct on the jury.

There is an instruction the judge gives jurors every time they leave the courtroom: Do not discuss the case with anyone, even among yourselves. According to the note, someone apparently did not get the message.

"I just wanted to talk. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything," the juror admitted to Judge John Marshall Kest, explaining she wanted to discuss something about the Okafor trial with another juror.

"That's OK, and you are doing what you are supposed to do: You are letting me know about it," Kest assured the woman.

Kest called both jurors into the courtroom and reminded them of the rules about not discussing the case. Neither the prosecution, nor the defense asked for the jurors to be removed.

The prosecution rested shortly thereafter. Monday morning saw a series of experts on the stand for the state with the aim of proving Okafor was using a cellphone in the area of Alex Zaldivar's home the night the 19-year-old was murdered in 2012.

Zaldivar was supposed to testify the next day against Okafor in a home invasion trial. Two of Zaldivar's roommates were also shot, but they survived. Both testified last week.

Among Monday's witnesses was Dr. Marie Hansen, associate medical examiner for Orange and Osceola County, testifying to the brutality of the murder.

Prosecutors asked Hansen, "Would either of these shots have been fatal? In other words, if he were shot just once, would he still have died?"

"It is very likely, yes," Hansen replied.

After the prosecution rested, the jury was excused for the day, as the judge explained he and both sides of the case had to go over scheduling. Judge Kest also told jurors to bring an overnight bag with them starting Tuesday, as they would be sequestered once they start deliberating.

The defense is likely to rest its case Tuesday.
