Rittenhouse Judge Receives Hundreds Of Vile Messages: Wishing ‘Most Heinous Homicide’ On His Kids, Threatening His Own Life: Report


Correspondence reportedly sent to the Kenosha County Courthouse and reviewed by the Daily Mail revealed threats against Schroeder’s life, as well as on his children.

A fax the courthouse received in October reads, “This is outrageous…What fresh hell is this???? Rittenhouse is a murderous thug and trying to protect him says a LOT about this judge.”

Presumably, the email came in reaction to the judge ruling in a pre-trial hearing for the case that prosecutors are barred from referring to the men shot by Rittenhouse as “victims,” while the defense team was permitted to refer to them as “rioters” and “looters,” if they can provide evidence to back up the terms.

3rd sentence in a CBS News article. So I am assuming he did not eliminate the only POC on the jury.
Seven women and five men were selected to be jurors, and they appeared to be mostly white.
But I found this interesting - the bolded part.
Deliberations began after the field of 18 jurors was narrowed down to 12, after their numbers were placed on pieces of paper in a lottery tumbler in the courtroom, and Rittenhouse himself picked six pieces of paper that were used to identify the alternate jurors. It was unusual — a courtroom clerk is usually responsible for that task, not the defendant.

Prosecutor Proves How Deadly AR-15 Is By Accidentally Shooting 7 Jurors


KENOSHA, WI—During his closing argument yesterday in the Rittenhouse trial, lead prosecutor Thomas Binger proved just how deadly an AR-15 can be by spraying bullets into the jury.

"AR-15's are big and scary, and to prove it, look at this!" he exclaimed to the horrified jury as he produced a scary-looking black rifle. "Don't let my adorable fauxhawk hairstyle and metrosexual glasses fool you, I know how to handle these deadly weapons!"

He then sprayed several rounds into the seated jurists, hitting 7 of them.

What kind a group of unarmed thugs do? Why would a rifle be necessary?


I’ll bet Reginald Denny wished it had one.
