DETAILS FROM NEWS
The presiding judge in the case who has been critical of some of the media coverage, revealed the ban Thursday from the bench of the courtroom where Rittenhouse is standing trial for the murder of two people during a 2020 civil disturbance in Kenosha.
Schroeder said a car driven by James Morrison, who identified himself as an employee of MSNBC, was stopped by police after allegedly violating a traffic control signal.
Rittenhouse, 18, is charged with killing Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, and attempted homicide in the wounding of Gaige Grosskreutz, 28, during a chaotic night of protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Aug. 25, 2020.
There were no notes from the jury on Thursday to indicate the focus of their deliberations. On Wednesday the jury had asked to re-watch a series of videos of the shootings, including drone footage at the heart of a mistrial motion by the defense.
Michael F. Hart, a criminal defense lawyer in Milwaukee, said the lack of a note, which would normally be sent to the judge to relay a difficulty in coming to a consensus, suggests it is too early to conclude the jury is deadlocked.Outside the courthouse pro-Rittenhouse protesters squared off with demonstrators calling for his conviction, leading to some intense shouting matches but no violence. Kenosha County Sheriff David Beth handed out coffee and cookies to the crowd to try and keep the protests peaceful.
I think a case need to be decided by evidence,law of the constitution,for greater good of society,its impact on other such cases need to be examined.Without siding with anyone i rest my case that rule of law should prevail and procedure of law should be followed and jusice need to be done without bias,illwill,pressure.
