Kyle Rittenhouse: Vigilante White Men

[Anonymous]

MSNBC may not have intended to tamper with the jury, but this kind of conduct is still reprehensible. Imagine doing your public duty and serving as a juror in a high-profile homicide case like this, and then see you are being followed home by someone you don't know. That is downright frightening. I've tried so hard over the last few years to defend the press, but then a major outlet does something like this. If I were the judge I would go ballistic on NBC/MSNBC.

I don't disagree with you but getting a license plate number isn't following someone home. It's just looking at a car. That might be scary enough in itself, to a juror or another person, but it's not being followed.

I don't think this producer was interested in the license plate number of the bus transporting the jurors. He was following the bus because it would lead him to where the jurors' vehicles were located. Whether he intended to then follow a juror home or just start writing down license plates, I stand by my comment that the behavior is reprehensible. If jurors want to speak to the media after their jury service is over, they can easily do so. I think these underhanded efforts by the media are grotesque.

I was clearing up confusion or misunderstanding about what the journalist was supposedly intending to do. If we are going to be upset about it, we should be upset about what he was doing, not about something else.

If there were a mistrial over it, it would be without prejudice. Zero grounds for prejudice here.

Some guy named "Jim Morrison" claiming to be MSNBC?

Yeah right

You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day
Tried to run, tried to hide
Break on through to the other side

But there wasn't actually any tampering because the police did their job. So the fantasy is moot.

Plus the police said the guy had no affiliation with MSNBC. Probably just some weird rando.

NBC has acknowledged it was one of their freelancers, although that doesn’t mean the guy did this on NBC’s instruction.

You would only write down license plate numbers, if you then had a law enforcement person who could look up these numbers for you.
The media has been telling lies about this case, trying to cause rioting.

From US v Johnson
" A third party’s threat or perceived attempt to take a photograph of a juror may be no less intimidating to that juror than the actual taking of such a photograph. Thus, the question whether a photograph was taken was not dispositive of the prejudice inquiry, as one or more jurors may have felt intimidated regardless. By limiting its inquiry to the actual existence of photographs, the district court left key substantive matters unresolved, namely, whether anyone had attempted or threatened to take photographs of the jurors, the identity of the alleged actors and their relationship to the case, and the impact of Juror #4’s statement on other members of the jury."

The media has been stating that Rittenhouse is a white supremacist who must be found guilty, and is threatening the jury if they find otherwise.

Why don't you post your license plate number so we can see how innocent it is?

It’s way worse for someone to underhandedly try to get your license plate when you’re a juror on an extremely high profile case where the evidence points to an acquittal and you know that probably means violence and rioting from the left wing mob than for a random person on the internet to post a license plate number and claim it’s theirs.

This is literally the definition of jury intimidation. I cannot believe that anyone thinks this is okay.

I’d rather be followed home by a reporter who wants to ask me a question than have a reporter slyly identify me so they can spend time trying to dig up dirt and put together a smear campaign to cancel me later when the verdict doesn’t go their way.

What about the reporter who does both?
