Cortez Rice, the nephew of George Floyd, had a chilling message for jurors currently sitting at the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse.

"I ain’t even gonna name the people that I know that’s up in the Kenosha trial. But it’s cameras in there. It’s definitely cameras up there. There are definitely people taking pictures of the juries and everything like that," Rice can be heard saying in a video.

"We know what’s going on, so we need the same results, man. We need the same results," added Rice, who went on to name a list of people for whom he demands "justice."

Rittenhouse is currently being tried for six charges connected to the shooting death of two people and the injuring of another during riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Rittenhouse pleaded not guilty, and his defense maintains the shootings were in self-defense.

The trial has been a media maelstrom. The presiding judge himself has lamented what he called irresponsible media coverage. Additionally, one of the twenty jurors had to be dismissed mid-trial.

On Thursday, a juror in the high-profile trial was dismissed for telling a joke about the police shooting of Jacob Blake to a courthouse deputy.

"The public needs to be confident that this is a fair trial," the Kenosha County Circuit judge told the older white man who declined to repeat the joke he allegedly told to a sheriff's deputy outside the courtroom this week.

Reuters reported that it was "bad judgment to tell a joke of that nature," Schroeder said, adding that he had no choice but to remove the man from the jury.

Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger, the prosecutor in the Rittenhouse case, told the court that he believed the joke was worded, "Why did the Kenosha police shoot Jacob Blake seven times? [...] Because they ran out of bullets."

It is assumed that the jury members could come across Rice's tweets, as they are not currently sequestered.

Rice's uncle, George Floyd, died in police custody in Minneapolis. An ex-police officer was convicted of second-degree murder in Floyd's death.
