    I think they might split to get to a verdict just so they can get home before Thanksgiving. Clearly, Rittenhouse is not guilty of murder. It was an utterly pointless case. From the questions to him, you get the sense the prosecutor regrets failing to charge him with driving without a license too. It was a case brought to appease a mob. I think both the prosecuting and defense attorneys did harm to their own reputations more than anyone else in this case.

    I think the prosecutors did a terrible job and may get punished by the judge. I think it'll be NG on the major counts and probably G on the minor ones.

    Democrats Are Again Trying to Influence an Ongoing Trial.....

    people not involved in the case nor from the community are chiming in on their desired outcome. Namely, Democrat elected officials and liberal media figures.

    Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) seems to think he's the arbiter of facts in the case, calling on the jury to "Lock up Kyle Rittenhouse and throw away the key," an ironic sentence for someone who's worked on criminal justice reform for years.


    Democrat operative Jon Cooper rallied his more than 800,000 followers behind a guilty verdict despite their opinions being of zero importance in the case's eventual outcome.


    Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) chimed in to claim that a judge ruling on the admissibility of evidence means that the "justice system isn't blind," again seeking to undermine the trial's legitimacy because the rule of law isn't matching up with Democrats' rules of social justice.


    An honorable mention goes to LeBron James, who apparently couldn't help himself and decided to play armchair psychiatrist.



    The more recent commentary from Democrats comes after they smeared Rittenhouse in 2020 before they knew any facts of the case.
    Reps. Ayanna Presley and Ilhan Omar both called Rittenhouse a "domestic terrorist" in viral tweets.


    This isn't the first time Democrats have chimed in before a jury concludes its deliberations and issues a verdict, most notably as they did during the trial for former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) appeared out of nowhere in a suburb of Minneapolis to encourage violence if a jury didn't convict Chauvin, and President Biden was not shy about the outcome he sought, saying he was "praying" for a guilty verdict.


    The question now is when will Maxine Waters show up in Kenosha? .....snip~

    What was this?

    Failure to comply with an emergency order from state or local government

    What about all the rioters? Shouldn't they be rounded up like the Jan 6 "insurrectionist" and charged with the same?

    That's it. Not Guilty of the serious charges by Self Defense.

    If "Failure to comply with an emergency order from state or local government" is the curfew charge, that's been dropped because the prosecutor presented no evidence to substantiate it.

    So very not guilty. And if there is a world where defending yourself from attackers makes you guilty, I don't want to live in that world.

    I agree with the majority. Not guilty on the serious counts and guilty on a minor count. It's been political from the start and if they let him off all charges the plebs will riot, loot and destroy and the politicians will let them.

    The day ended with prosecutors indicating they would likely ask for lesser includeds.
