KENOSHA, WIS. — With an armed protester standing outside the courthouse, jurors in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial began their second day of deliberations Wednesday.

The panel — consisting of seven women and five men — spent more than eight hours deliberating Tuesday without reaching a verdict. Jurors offered few insights into their Day One discussions, sending only two notes asking for copies of jury instructions.

While the predominantly white jury debated the very specific legal question at the heart of the teen’s self-defense case, protesters outside the courthouse have been arguing over the broader issues of gun rights and racial inequities that have loomed large over the case from the onset.

In the 1st place. Enough parading around with guns. Should be a crime.
