In Kenosha, Wisconsin, the judge overseeing the trial of teenage gunman Kyle Rittenhouse has removed a juror who was overheard joking about the shooting of Jacob Blake, an African American left paralyzed last year after he was shot by Kenosha police. Judge Bruce Schroeder agreed with prosecutors that the juror’s comments were disqualifying.

Judge Bruce Schroeder: “It is clear that the appearance of bias is present, and it would seriously undermine the outcome of the case. … I think the best thing under the circumstances, I’m going to dismiss you from the jury, sir.”

Meanwhile, in Georgia, opening arguments begin today in the murder trial for the three white men who hunted down and killed Black jogger Ahmaud Arbery last year. Only a single Black juror was chosen; the 11 other jurors are white. After headlines, we’ll speak with Benjamin Crump, attorney for Ahmaud Arbery’s family.
