The jury at Kyle Rittenhouse’s murder trial prepares to return for a fourth day of deliberations, after a quiet day behind closed doors that ended with one juror asking if she could take home the jury instructions.
Tom Grieve, a Milwaukee attorney and former prosecutor who’s not involved in the case, called the move “definitely unusual in my experience.”At the end of the day, jurors looked tired, but no more than they did at the end of their first day. No one seemed visibly upset. Two jurors spoke genially to each other as they walked out the door.
Rittenhouse said he acted in self-defense after coming under attack, while prosecutors argued he instigated the bloodshed., racial injustice, vigilantism and self-defense in the U.S., and some have complained of a racial double standard in the way Rittenhouse was treated by law enforcement that night.
The defense has twice asked the judge to declare a mistrial, alleging that they were given an inferior copy of a potentially crucial video and that the prosecution asked improper questions of Rittenhouse during cross-examination. Schroeder has said the mistrial bid will have to be addressed if there is a guilty verdict. If Rittenhouse is acquitted, the dispute won’t matter. But if he is convicted and the judge then declares a mistrial, that would void the verdict.Forliti reported from Minneapolis, Bauer from Madison, Wisconsin.
