Cortez Rice: Kenosha Jurors Are Being Photographed, George Floyd's Relative Says
Cortez Rice, who is the nephew of George Floyd per published reports, says on video that jurors in the Kenosha trial of Kyle Rittenhouse are being photographed.
The names of the jurors in the trial were sealed by the judge making it harder for them to be doxxed. However, the public has access to the court proceedings, where the jurors sit in plain view. Only journalistic pool photographers are allowed inside the courtroom. The Rittenhouse trial just concluded week 1; it didn't go well for the prosecution, which has failed to present evidence that counters his self-defense claims.
There hasn't been much protest activity outside the courthouse yet, but, of course, Kenosha burned in the violent response to the Jacob Blake police shooting. Riteenhouse, who is charged with homicide and other serious charges, had gone to Kenosha to protect businesses and act as a volunteer medic. There are 18 jurors left in the case after two were dismissed. They were drawn from Kenosha County.
