KENOSHA, Wis. — The judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial banned MSNBC from the Kenosha County Courthouse on Thursday after police reported that a man purporting to be working for the cable news network — or a corporate sibling — was pulled over for a traffic violation Wednesday and suspected of following the jury transport van.
Judge Bruce Schroeder said the man identified himself to police as “James J. Morrison” and claimed to be a producer for MSNBC acting on instructions from a New York-based producer to follow the bus. Jurors are ferried to and from the courthouse each day in a bus Schroder described as “sealed” to prevent them from seeing signs, protesters or anything from either side of the contentious trial that might influence them as they deliberate the fate of 18-year-old Rittenhouse.
A spokesperson for NBC News, the sister network of MSNBC, identified the individual as a freelancer in a statement to The Washington Post but denied an intent to make contact with jurors.
“Last night, a freelancer received a traffic citation. While the traffic violation took place near the jury van, the freelancer never contacted or intended to contact the jurors during deliberations, and never photographed or intended to photograph them,” the network spokesperson said. “We regret the incident and will fully cooperate with the authorities on any investigation.”

I think it is nuts that these jurors aren't getting more protection.
This case is too high profile. They should be in isolation somewhere with total identity protection.
