KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — The jury at Kyle Rittenhouse’s murder trial will be allowed to review some of the video in the Kenosha shootings, after requesting it on Day 2 of deliberations Wednesday. The judge also ssays he’ll “think long and hard” about allowing televised trials in the future. Judge Bruce Schroeder’s comments came while he was addressing the jury’s request. Schroeder took exception to media coverage of some of his decisions. Jurors met for a full day Tuesday with no quick verdict after two weeks of testimony in which they were given starkly different portrayals of his actions the night he shot three men, killing two of them, during an August 2020 night of protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Prosecutors say Rittenhouse provoked the confrontation. His lawyers say he acted in self-defense.
