The judge presiding over Kyle Rittenhouse’s trial has warned potential jurors against relying on media reports, asserting journalists have been “irresponsible and sloppy” in reporting on cases he’s heard.

“I’m not bashing anybody, but I am going to talk about what you need to do, what you need to be thinking about if you are picked to hear this case, and how much reliance you can put on things that may be just sloppy, which is a vast amount of it,” Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge Bruce Schroeder told potential jurors as the trial got underway on Monday.
