The jury in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial will reconvene Thursday morning, entering the third day of closed-door deliberations. We saw very little movement yesterday. The jury requested permission to review certain video evidence and the judge, prosecution and defense spent several hours discussing if and how the footage could be viewed.
While awaiting a verdict, conservatives and some in the right-wing media have doubled down in their support of Rittenhouse, the teen accused of killing two and injuring a third person when he shot people with an AR-15 during a Black Lives Matter protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin last year.

Third day of deliberations. The jury is hanging up on something.
Someone elsewhere mentioned this may mean they are coming up with a compromise - guilty on some charges, acquitted on others. In any case, it does mean that this wasn’t an open and shut case.
I would say that if I were Rittenhouse I would be more and more freaked out everyday. Could it be that this jury sees a person who put himself in a place where he didn’t have to be, shot three people and doesn’t exactly see that as self defense? It is simple after all.
Each hour of additional deliberation must be very hard for Kyle to endure.
Good.
At least for this judge and jury.
