I'm so glad I'm not on that jury. So messy. So much vague evidence. So much hearsay. So much political bullshit.
Jury also asked to see the other jury's notes... apparently they didn't pay much attention during the trial.

They did ask for additional copies of the instructions which is at least telling us, they are going through the charges from top to bottom. I have absolutely no idea how they'll find.
While there was no burning during the Jan. 6 riot, there was looting and property destruction.
Is there a particular comparison you have in mind that someone here made?
I read that as the foreman thought it'd be a good idea everyone had a copy, so they could go down the list. I wouldn't read any more into it than that.Jury also asked to see the other jury's notes... apparently they didn't pay much attention during the trial.

I am perhaps wrong but I am making an inference that they have been heavily debating some of the charges and those particular charges are related to the first 6 pages. This is because they asked for extra copies of those first 6 pages. So someone had the packet and someone else (or others) felt they should equal time with it and read along directly at their paces and point out things themselves to examine the very technical language...etc in those charges. Those pages seem related to the reckless homicide section. This is not to say they will not eventually have a consensus.
Update:"Jurors in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse have asked the judge for extra copies of the jury instructions, specifically pages 1 through 6.
In this case, attorneys from both sides did arrive, until the clerk learned the simplicity of the question, according to the courtroom pool reporter. The matter was not seen on courtroom pool cameras.
The jury was provided 11 additional copies, according to the courtroom pool reporter.
Pages 2 through 3 of the jury instructions focus on the self-defense and provocation instructions. Page 4 of the jury instructions focuses on crimes requiring intent to kill. Pages 5 and 6 focus on the first count of first-degree reckless homicide for the fatal shooting of Joseph Rosenbaum.
Jurors began deliberating at 10:15am ET on Tuesday."
They are more into maim and murder. You know … Charlottesville, Washington DC …
There's a lot of charges to go over, even after the judge threw some of them out for weird reasons.

And the judge waited until just before closing arguments therefore precluding the opportunity of an outside ruling. I find that, and other things this judge has done, suspicious.The judge and prosecutor deserve some blame each for why the gun charge was dropped. It's an ambiguously written law that they should have gotten outside ruling on, but they first needed this judge to give a decision. It has been a known issue in the case for a long time, but they waited till the end of the trial for the judge to decide on it.
EXPLAINER: Why did judge drop Rittenhouse gun charge?
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Prosecutors in Kyle Rittenhouse’s murder trial may have lost their best chance at convicting the Illinois man of something when the judge threw out a charge that Rittenhouse was a minor in possession of a dangerous weapon.
