It's day 15 of the #RittenhouseTrial, and the 4th day of jury deliberations.
I'm in the courtroom today. Judge Schroeder has more unrelated cases -- and it appears jurors may have gone right into deliberation as they have the last few days.
Confirmed with a bailiff, jurors have gone straight to deliberations. #KyleRittenhouse
Yesterday, we didn't hear from jurors at all until the end of the day when the judge asked if anyone had questions when they were being dismissed.
One of the women on the jury asked if she could take a copy of jury instructions home, which Schroeder allowed.
Judge Schroeder just walked into the main courtroom doors for his other hearings, carrying his messenger bag and a six-pack of Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi #RittenhouseTrial
To address the rumor about jurors not ordering lunch -- Judge's clerk just said they did order lunch. #KyleRittenhouse#RittenhouseTrial
They ordered Subway, FYI.
This, per the pool reporter of the day with the Law and Crime network.
Anthony Huber's girlfriend, Hannah Gittings & his great aunt .. Joseph Rosenbaum's fiance, Kariann Swart & other other family members victims in the #KyleRittenhouse case just came into the courtroom.
Swart just said they were told to come in.
No Wendy Rittenhouse at this time
About five sheriff deputies just came in
One just took Huber's girlfriend, great aunt, and Rosenbaum's fiance out to talk in the hallway.
No idea what any of this means or if anything can be taken from this right now.
Just reporting what I'm seeing and what is happening
They're being called up to the courtroom. All parties are here, including Kyle Rittenhouse's mom and sisters. One sister is crying. #RittenhouseTrial
Kyle Rittenhouse looks nervous. Richards and Chirafisi do a bit as well.
Huber's girlfriend and great aunt are sitting behind me. They also look nervous. As does Kariann Swart, fiance of Joseph Rosenbaum. #RittenhouseTrial
Judge Schroeder is telling audience there can be no emotion shown for reeaction.. Jury is walking in now, they all have their belongings. #RittenhouseTrial
These are the six alternates, kept out of deliberations.
Jury coming in now. The 12 do not have their belongings like the six alternates.
#KyleRittenhouse COUNT 1: NOT GUILTY
COUNT 2: NOT GUILTY
COUNT 3: NOT GUILTY
COUNT 4: NOT GUILTY
COUNT 5: NOT GUILTY
Rittenhouse is crying, hugging his attorney, Corey Chirafisi, shaking and crying. So are his family members and members of the Huber and Rosenbaum family.
Judge Schroeder is now telling the jury that they are allowed to discuss the case but aren't required to do so.
Today, the jury will get its instructions, hear closing arguments, and then the 12 who will decide Kyle Rittenhouse's fate will be selected and could begin deliberations
Judge Bruce Schroeder is telling the defense he's worried reading the self defense instruction for each count it applies to could essentially bore the jury, because they will be talked at a lot today with instructions and closing arguments.
