One of the courthouse people leaked to media that they think it’s 10-2 or 11-1. They said they could hear the arguing and basically there is two people scared over retaliation
We are a banana republic in so many ways. Mob rules the legal system.

Yes. A mob yelling at jurors as they deliberate is what you expect in a banana republic.
Under Wisconsin law, anyone under 18 who possesses a dangerous weapon is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by up to nine months behind bars.
On its face, convicting Rittenhouse on that count looked like a legal slam dunk. No one contested that he was 17 the night of the protest in August 2020. Bystander and surveillance video clearly shows him walking around with the rifle strapped to his chest before the shootings, using the gun to shoot and kill Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and wound Gaige Grosskreutz.
But Rittenhouse's attorneys seized on a subsection of the Wisconsin law that states the ban on minors possessing dangerous weapons applies to minors armed with rifles or shotguns only if those weapons are short-barreled. The language stems from a bill that then-Republican Gov. Tommy Thompson signed in 1991. Lawmakers across the country were trying to find ways to curb gang violence around that time. Kenosha defense attorney Michael Cicchini said the law was likely intended to prevent youths from carrying sawed-off shotguns.
Rittenhouse's AR-15-style rifle was not short-barreled.

Right. And also all the internet needs is one mouthy person breaking confidentiality and these jurors names can be known. If it’s true that an officer of the court released this info that person should be severely sanctioned.
Ban everything!
I could kill you with a tub of butter if I really wanted to.
Or a dirty sock. Even a roll of stamps. Hell, I could take someone out with a baby bottle.
Ban it all! Remove thumbs at birth!!!
