MSNBC is no longer allowed to have employees in the courtroom during Kyle Rittenhouse\u2019s murder trial, Judge Bruce Schroeder announced Thursday. The ban on the cable news network comes after an NBC News freelancer received a traffic citation and, Schroeder said, was close to the jury bus. Schroeder expressed concern the journalist was attempting to photograph the jurors in the highly publicized trial, but MSNBC disputes that he was.<\/p>\n

The person, according to Schroeder, identified himself as James J. Morrison and was stopped by police when he went through a red light in Wisconsin, where the trial is taking place. Kenosha police confirmed<\/a> to the local news that someone was arrested. Schroeder said the individual was tailing the jury bus Wednesday night, calling it \u201ca very serious matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe matter is under further investigation at this point,\u201d said Schroeder during an announcement in the courtroom Thursday. \u201cThe media has asked questions about it. That\u2019s the latest I have. He was ticketed for violating a traffic control signal.\u201d <\/p>\n
