demanding and deserve. so he s urging calm and making sure that there is no trouble here. remember, the governor ordered up the national guard 500 troops just in case. they re on stand-by outside of kenosha and if they re needed they ll be brought in. but outside of court here, it is been calm. people have been voicing feelings. some people in favor of kyle rittenhouse, and obviously many of the people who are supporters of jacob blake. you can t separate the two. this case and jacob blake. and you see what the governor here with this statement, he also said, i want to read something about kenosha. he said kenosha is strong and resilient and working every day together toward healing this case and resulting national spotlight on the kenosha community. having spent some time here from when this all first happened and sarah as well, you know, we ve gotten to know a lot of people in this community. and this is taken a tremendous toll on this community. there are a lot of small shops
whatever side you re on here, the fact that we were able to see this all play out is really, really important. i think that is an excellent point also. because the reaction might have been worse had people not had transparency into exactly how the trial unfolded. reporter: that is right. stick around if you would. we want to go back to sarah because i know more reaction is pouring in. sarah, including from, if you could hear me, from high-profile renowned attorney ben crump for george floyd. he was also involved here in kenosha and on the ground for the family of jacob blake who was shot by a police officer and injured shot in the back several times. he has just made a statement on this case. and here is what he had to say. and i m going to excuse me while i read this because it is i want to make sure it is accurate. he said that if you needed yet another example of the two justice systems at work in america, look no further than the delayed arrest and spectacle
put this out who was obviously in the courtroom saying that the juror, some jurors looked fatigued in the jury box as the verdicts were read. some with their hands on their chins or rubbing their eyes. others appeared ill at ease, shifting in their chairs or folding arms across their chest. so this is just some color. this jury, it is been incredible to watch them. specifically during the deliberations. a few times that we got to see them, because they did deliberate for quite sometime. when you think about the 24, 25 plus hours that they were deliberating, we didn t hear much from them. they didn t ask for much. i know there was one day where they have several questions about the video. and video seemed to be this is the main thing of this case. this video. but it was the drone video that they asked for that the judge cleared the courtroom for and played for 45 minutes. the prosecution really thought this was going to be sort of like their smoking gun, like this video would help the
kind of stuff, it would have been introduced in evidence. it wasn t. we were the individuals who released his cell phone which couldn t be cracked by the fbi because we had nothing to hide. i got her late. you could reiterate or go over his reaction immediately. no, i m not doing reruns. do you plan to represent him in a civil action. i m a criminal defense attorney. i don t do civil stuff. you could talk about what is the one thing that you learned if you have to say the biggest takeaway from this case that you learned. every case is different and every case has surprises. you know, i learned i could wait 24 hours for a verdict. what about the $2 million bond? i expect there will be a fight over that. you know, john pierce is the person who posted the bond. all of that money was raised on behalf of kyle.
could see the tenseness in those people, the jurors, at least i could, or i sensed it, who were entering that room. and you know, they wanted to quit early because i think they were tense. and if there was some early verdict and they were playing all of us for fools, they re great actors, and actresses, i don t think that was the case. what do you think about the i believe so. you know, i have clients from 30 years ago i still talk to. one of my oldest favorite clients, moved to minneapolis, he texted me congratulations. i talk to him once a month. i try to stay in touch with clients who want to stay in touch with me. i like to see them do well, and i hope that kyle does. do you think he ll keep a low pro file? i hope so. what do you think the amount of time that the jury took says about how they handled it? dthey took it very seriously.
