A juror asked Judge Bruce Schroeder of the Kenosha County Court if she could take the jury instructions home with her on Thursday evening, after the jury deliberated for a third full day without reaching a verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse case.
Rittenhouse faces five counts — two of murder, one of attempted murder, and two of reckless endangerment. Unlike the second day, when the jury asked to review video evidence, the jury spent the entire day deliberating with each other.
After the juror asked to take the instructions home, the defense attorneys shook their heads, and Judge Schroeder paused before answering: “Yes, but obviously you can’t talk to anybody about them.”
The deliberations resume Friday at 9:00 a.m. Central Standard Time.
Judge Schroeder also told the six alternate jurors to return on Friday, expressing regret that deliberations had taken as long as they had thus far: “I know that we’re over our time, that I talked about initially.”
After they left, the judge acknowledged that the defense had not wanted him to agree. Defense attorney Mark Richards said that he had been afraid the jurors would start consulting dictionaries — “they start defining words, and things like that” — and conducting “outside research.”
Prosecutor Thomas Binger chimed in that he did not think they should be allowed to take their notes home. The judge said he would allow notes that had been taken on the sheets on which the instructions themselves were printed.
Judge Schroeder also noted that legal experts across the country had agreed with him that the jury instructions were very confusing.

Rittenhouse is screwed
She sounded like a white female. Likely the college professor type who can’t overcome her MSNBC-bias to actually look at the evidence.
SHe’s going to go home and do research and write up her argument to come back and try to convince the other jurors to convict on some charge as a ‘compromise verdict.’
Hung jury isn’t a bad thing at this point. Kyle can get a real defense team.
“Judge Schroeder also noted that legal experts across the country had agreed with him that the jury instructions were very confusing.”
Isn’t it the judge’s responsibility to make the instructions clear to the jury?
You know maybe there will be people on the Right and not just the Left that are interested in the...health of those jurors.
:-)
Oh goodie goodie..HOMEWORK..tomorrow morning..POP QUIZ..I still say this is going to be a hung jury
Looks like the judge has turned to jello.
The guy is obviously innocent via self defense.
Sounds like the intimidated jurors are trying to figure out some manufactured rationale for a guilty verdict.
This is a circus!
Kyle doesn’t deserve this clown show!
I dont think that they will come up with a verdict.
As for the jury instructions. I dunno. Seems to me someone is getting outside help in someway.
Suspicious.

yep one of Karens
also was it the same voice that joked with the judge about how would he know if they sat in his chair yesterday?
Just what does the juror think this is? IKEA?
“Rittenhouse is screwed.”
Maybe there will be a hung jury.
But I am very concerned about the judge allowing the jury instructions to be taken home. My experience is that NOTHING leaves the court. Nada; zilch.
Wait...these jurors aren’t sequestered?!
Kyle deserves to be found not guilty by a clear case of self defense for all counts.
But... there’s a riot and our press is trying to doxx the jury. Think that was the only chase car? Jury knows conviction is risking their lives.
So we are looking at a hung jury.
If lucky, they’ll clear him on at least 2 of the 4 charges though.
“..I still say this is going to be a hung jury.”
I think so, as well.
Wait...these jurors aren’t sequestered?!
As is often said, many jurors are stupid. Too stupid to keep from getting picked for jury duty.
When I served on a jury, you could not take a scrap of out of the courthouse.
