Nicholas Bogel-Burroughs posted to the Times’ live blog about what he heard the jurors say:
“Jurors have entered the Kenosha courthouse for the fourth day of deliberations, after discussing the case for 23 hours over the previous three days. As jurors entered, several of them thanked sheriff’s deputies for putting up a folding screen that blocked them from public view.
