The Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial just started and they’ve already had to let go of a juror.
Rittenhouse is on trial for traveling across state lines and murdering two people who were protesting the murder of George Floyd.
According to CNN, the juror in question told a joke to a deputy about the cops shooting Jacob Blake while he was getting walked to his car.
“I’m going to summarize what I remember, what I was told,” Schroeder said. “He was telling a joke … he told the officer … he made a reference about telling a joke about ‘Why did it take seven shots to shoot Jacob Blake,’ something to that effect.”
“The joke is in bad taste, there are a plethora of bad jokes out there with everything to do with all this, this is one of them. But I think the rest of this joke, as it were, suggests some sort of racial bias which I think comes into play,”
Just shows what kind of jurors are picked in these types of trials. They go through an extensive process and he was one of the ones picked so no telling what jurors are hiding just to get on a jury.
