Fox News
KENOSHA, Wisc. --The 12-person Wisconsin jury mulling the fate of accused Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse entered its second day of deliberations on Wednesday, asking three questions during their first hours behind closed doors.
On Tuesday, the first question came approximately 45 minutes after jury deliberation began. Jurors asked for 11 copies of pages 1 through 6 of the jury instructions, which cover intent, provocation, the definition and details related to the "intent to kill," and some of the highest charges. Hours later, they requested 11 copies of the remaining pages of the instructions, pages 7 through 36. "The first thing after they do that, after they have a talk, is to start to look at the actual law."
Speaking to Fox News Digital on Wednesday, longtime criminal defense attorney Julie Rendelman said the jury could have made the requests for any number of reasons.
