The Journal Times of Racine County, Wisconsin, reported Tuesday that a person was caught videotaping jury members that morning as they left for the courthouse in Kenosha for the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse. The 18-year-old faces homicide and other charges in the shootings of three men, two of them fatally, during a riot in Kenosha on Aug. 25, 2020.

A deputy told the court that he made the person who recorded the jury delete the video.

"You're aware, of course, of the incident at the bus pick-up this morning," Judge Bruce Schroeder told the jury on Tuesday. "And I've been assured that officers had the video which had been taken, has been deleted."

Hopefully, the deputy was aware that most phones back up their deleted pictures and videos nowadays.

Shroeder added that "new procedures are being instituted so that something like that — something like that should not reoccur. I'm frankly surprised that it did."
