First, US Marshals (the supposed source) in no way interact with state court jurors.

Second, there is no reason for US Marshals to be present.

Third, the jurors have limited contact -- almost to the point of exclusion. Their only real contact is the bailiff --- typically stationed right outside the door.

Fourth, the jurors, once outside the jury room, are prohibited from speaking to anyone about the case. Not even the bailiff.

Finally, the entire story violates *so* many precepts of how deliberations are performed as to not really be believable.

And, if it did happen, or even potentially, you could bet your right arm someone would bring that action to the judge's attention. If true, the action of getting that information out of the jury room is itself a mistrial issue, right then and there.

If Judge Schroeder hears about this tweet, any judge in any matter, let alone one of this magnitude, would go off the rails. I really hope that the person who tweeted this is nowhere near Kenosha right now --- I dont think the judge in the case would be very nice to him if he has to be hauled into his court to explain the breach.

From what ive seen of this guy, he has really good sources.

Agreed, he typically does have accurate sourcing.

It's the contents of this one and how it goes against a metric ton of how these things typically operate that has me skeptical.

Questionable how he could get this info without there being an immediate mistrial.
Maybe it came from the jurors' spouses.
