Not too much has happened in the last two hours.
Per the pool reporter, "the jury asked for copies of pages 1 through 6 of the jury instructions, and were provided 11 additional copies. Pages 1 through 6 appear to focus the self defense aspects of the case." #RittenhouseTrial

From @thehill, Kyle Rittenhouse's mom, Wendy, is asking for money to help pay for her son's legal bills.
"“Both the prosecution and my son Kyle's defense team have finished their closing arguments and I am beyond nervous,” she wrote in the email."

Not much information to report right now from the courthouse, other than the jury had a lunch break with pizza.
Assuming they took an hour for lunch, jurors have been deliberating on the case for roughly four hours.

From the pool reporter: "The jury has now requested 11 copies of pages 7 to 36 of jury instructions, which is the total number of pages in the instructions.
Earlier they requested pages 1 through 6."

From pool reporter -- Judge is going to get "dressed up" and then dismiss the jury for the evening.
The prosecution and defense attorneys, along with Kyle Rittenhouse, have entered the courtroom. The judge has asked to meet with the attorneys in chambers.
