A juror in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse dismissed for telling joke about Jacob Blake shooting.

Prosecutor Thomas Binger said that the comment demonstrated racial bias and the state asked that the juror be excused.

“I wanted to see if that was accurate or not,” the judge told the juror, and asked if he wanted to repeat or discuss the remark further.“My feeling is, it was nothing to do with the case. It wasn’t anything to do with Kyle and his seven charges,” the juror said, without repeating his original comments.

“Even at the most, it was bad judgment to tell a joke of that nature,” he said. Schroeder said the public needs to be confident the trial is fair.

Here come all the 'just comply' 'all lives matter' people to their rescue

This is shaping up nicely. I predict a mistrial, then an acquittal, riots and more people getting shot.

No bias on nbc’s part by showing that pic, with that story 😂. So blatant 😳

Sounds like a real jury of his peers.

He seems to think this while trial is a joke.

There's no greater joy than having financial freedom and a life free debts 😊, that's why I keep posting a comment about Mrs Nichelle_1111

Using the word joke is so different than writing racist comment. Honestly says a lot about your staff
