from the courthouse after an incident in which a man who identified himself as a producer for the network was suspected of following a jury bus.
“I have instructed that no one from MSNBC News will be permitted in this building for the duration of this trial,” Judgesaid. “This is a very serious matter and I don’t know what the ultimate truth of it is, but absolutely it would go without much thinking that someone who is following a jury bus, that is an extremely serious matter and will be referred to the proper authorities for further action.
Schroeder identified the man as James J. Morrison. He said that Morrison identified himself to police as a producer for NBC News and employed by MSNBC. The judge said that Morrison told authorities his supervisor had told him to follow the bus, and he went through a red light as he tried to follow the vehicle.
Rittenhouse, now 18, is on trial for killing two men and wounding another during the protests that followed a police shooting in Kenosha, WI in the summer of 2020. His attorneys claim that he acted in self defense, while prosecutors have described him as “wannabe” soldier who came from out of town to be part of the protests.
The jury in the trial is in its third day of deliberations. Rittenhouse faces five felony charges, including first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide and attempted first-degree intentional homicide, along with two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety.
