A juror who sent Facebook messages to a defendant in a multi-million pound drugs trial has been jailed for eight months, in the first case of its kind. Although Joanne Fraill admitted contempt of court and apologised for what she did, Britain's top judge said jurors mis-using the internet is a serious crime. He also warned that anyone else caught doing it also faces prison. Sky's Laura Bundock reports.
