Kyle Rittenhouse Trial

[jj22]

It was an extreme move. But MSNBC should have known the judge they were dealing with and not risked anything. Reporters do follow the jury bus though (that is how they get a heads up when the deliberations are over). It happens more than we know and the jury aren't intimidated because they don't know what cars behind them on a bus are reporters from regular people. But reporters are everywhere we are learning but in their face in the hotel room lobby etc. They are "hidden" mostly and know not to approach them.

And it had nothing to do with reporting on what is going on inside the courtroom. But we've established the judges "issues" and it's pretty well known at this point.

It wasn't scandalous enough for the judge to react like he did. It wasn't like the reporter got caught talking to them or interviewing them. It wasn't like he got caught harassing the bus or forcing it to change direction or something.

It was a traffic violation and that is the only reason why we heard of it. If it was thought to be scandalous he wouldn't have said he was a reporter. He did because it was common practice to keep an eye on the jury bus to see when they are headed back to the trial during deliberations. Everyone wants to be the first to report that the jury has reached a verdict. Fox news reporters and all other media outlet reporters probably drove past him and chuckled as they continued on the pursuit of the bus.
