Juror in Kyle Rittenhouse trial dismissed for telling joke about police shooting of Jacob Blake
CNN
A juror was dismissed in Kyle Rittenhouse's homicide trial Thursday morning after he told a joke to a deputy earlier this week about the police shooting of Jacob Blake.
The incident occurred when a male juror being escorted to his car made a joke about the shooting, Judge Bruce Schroeder said.
"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."
