Jury asks for copies of self-defense instructions
Forty-five minutes into deliberations, the jury in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial has asked for 11 copies of jury instructions, particularly pages 1-6 which go over the terminology of self-defense.

Yep, have to question the accuracy of that. That would be .18 splits. That's Jerry Miculek kind of speed.

I hope that is a good sign. No doubt in my mind he should be found not guilty of all charges. Absolute disgrace he was even charged.

If acquitted, there will be riots in the streets.
If not acquitted, there should be riots in the street.

Burn it down baby

I think this is good. It tells me they aren't just dismissing the self defense claim, they are at least considering it. If I had to guess, I would say there are jurors working to convince a holdout it was self defense.

I think asking for copies of the instructions is both good and bad for Rittenhouse.
Good - they are looking at the instructions and all the charges. That probably means they don't think he's guilty of at least one of the first degree charges.
Bad - they are looking at all the charges including the lessor charges. IMO, that's bad for Rittenhouse because it means they may be trying to fit his self defense actions into one of the lessor charges.

Time will tell, but I felt that a verdict by lunch time or shortly thereafter would signal best outcome for him. It seems to me, the longer it goes, the more concern that they are weighing levels of convictions. Who really knows, but perhaps the request for info on self defense rules was to weigh the incorrect pronouncements on self defense rules the prosecutor gave in final. If you lose self defense protection by bringing a weapon, there would be no self defense in any shooting case ... even if the attacker was unarmed, fists can be quite deadly...likewise a foot, a rock, a stick, or a bottle.

I wonder why 11 copies and not 12? Does that mean only 1 thinks he isn’t guilty? Or did they already have a copy?

I believe that they already had one.

Latest is that 2 jurors are the holdup citing worries about their families and being doused by Antifa.

Replace them, they have a large jury pool.

Although very believable, where did this come from?

Jack Posobiec claims he heard it from a US Marshall.

Wrong mentality.

There's hundreds of thousands, potentially millions of people that wish they would be attacked by Antifa. It would be an opportunity to kill the bad.

Those jurors should be armed, ready, and welcome it. That would make them true Americans.

Jesse Waters said jurors have been videoed coming and going.

He said there are 500 National Guard troops on standby. Let-r-rip --

Another bit of background news.

This is absolutely BS!! This dudes life hangs in the balance of jurors afraid of doing the right thing? Those puzzies should have bowed out if that’s the case. Complete BS

And I guess the DA conveniently failed to disclose this to the defendant's attorney!

The jury has called it quits for today. Will resume tomorrow.

Yup
