MSNBC News is BANNED from Kenosha Courthouse for the rest of Kyle Rittenhouse trial after a man claiming to be a producer for the network was caught following the jury bus and attempting to take pictures of jurors
Kenosha Police Department announced Thursday that a person claiming to be a producer for MSNBC attempted to photograph members of the jury
MSNBC news has been banned from Kenosha Courthouse for the remainder of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial
Addressing the court Thursday morning Judge Bruce Schroeder said, ‘This is a very serious matter, and I don’t know what the truth of it is’
That person was taken into custody and issued several traffic related citations
This is the second time that a person has been suspected of trying to obtain images of the jurors
Last week a sheriff’s deputy alerted the judge to the fact that a person had been trying to take pictures of jurors at the bus pick-up outside the courthouse
The identities of the 18 remaining jurors – 12 deliberating and six alternates – have been closely guarded amid fear of intimidation and reprisal
