Kenosha, Wis. (AP) — The jury at Kyle Rittenhouse’s trial completed the third day of deliberations without reaching a verdict Thursday.
Meanwhile, the judge has banned MSNBC from the courthouse after a network freelancer was accused of following the jurors’ bus. Two mistrial requests from the defense are hanging over the politically and racially fraught case.
Last week the defense asked for a mistrial after saying the prosecutor asked improper questions. A second mistrial motion was sparked by a jury request Wednesday to re-watch the video in the case.
Rittenhouse’s attorneys say the defense received an inferior copy of a key video from prosecutors.
The judge has not ruled on the request.
