@SpectrumNews1WI The judge is playing his Jeopardy game (reading trivia questions from his tear-off calendar) with the jury while the state and the defense make their strikes.
Unfortunately, for this game, there is no Double Jeopardy in court...
(I'll see myself out...) #RittenhouseTrial

@SpectrumNews1WI Ok back to the news and not my bad jokes.
The 20 person jury has been announced. 14 jurors have been struck, (7 by the defense, 7 by the state).
They were announcing the juror numbers, but then switched to seat numbers. I'll get details on the jurors soon.

@SpectrumNews1WI The rest of the potential jurors have been dismissed. #RittenhouseTrial
@SpectrumNews1WI Jurors are still in the courtroom, reporters who were inside had to leave the courtroom. Our camera feed has been moved to above the bench, and no audio.
Not sure what is being discussed here.

Judge is going over a few details with the jury -- once again stressing to not read, watch, or listen to anything about the case.

The jury breakdown is 11 women 9 men.
Per the pool reporter in the courtroom, there is only one person of color, a man who said he has friends on both sides of the aisle on their opinion of the case.
The Black woman they talked to in individual voir dire was struck.
