In Kenosha, Wisconsin, the jury in the trial of white teenage gunman Kyle Rittenhouse is deliberating for a second day today. Rittenhouse fatally shot two people and wounded a third during protests over the police shooting of Jacob Blake in 2020. In a highly unusual move, Rittenhouse was instructed by Judge Bruce Schroeder Tuesday to randomly draw the names of six jurors who were removed from the pool of 18 citizens who were sitting on the jury. The 12 remaining jurors then proceeded to deliberation. The random selection is typically done by a member of the court. One legal expert called Schroeder’s decision “an interesting piece of theater.” Meanwhile, it’s been revealed trial consultant Jo-Ellan Dimitrius, known for shaping jury selection in the O.J. Simpson trial, worked with Rittenhouse attorneys in their selection process.
