Jury asks first question over viewing video and photo evidence; judge blasts media

Jurors are intelligent and should be allowed to weight a piece of evidence based on how critical it is to the case, he has argued. And if that means viewing a video multiple times to understand what occurs in it, that should be allowed, he said.
Schroeder blasted other coverage of him in the trial, including allow Rittenhouse to draw the alternate jurors numbers.The jury asked no questions of Schroeder during their first day of deliberations Tuesday beyond requests for additional copies of their juror instructions. The jury consists of five males and seven females and 11 white people and one person of color. The six alternates are an even split of white males and females.
