Rittenhouse pleads 'Not Guilty'

[HoughMade]

Actually I went back and found that there was a pretrial ruling that he could not testify to anything like I asked. Seems pretty stupid.

Correct. I don't know the basis for the ruling, but apparently it was pursuant to a pretrial Daubert motion which is named after a SCOTUS case from years ago, 1993, I think, and sets forth what the proponent of expert testimony must be able to establish in order for expert testimony to be admitted. Most states have, more or less, adopted it.

Assuming he is aquitted, sadly he's still going to be facing a long dark dangerous time ahead.

It would be great if he can find (or maybe already has) a supporting community that would help him and protect him.

 

[ditcherman]

Love this shot, but what's he aiming at? Rioters, bugs, or just having fun?

He’s aiming at…..
whatever he wants.

 

[ditcherman]

And during that entire 90 seconds of high stress, confusion, in the dark, while being chased, the only three people shot were those who were a direct and immediate threat to Kyle’s life.

No missed shots hitting an innocent bystander. No spraying the crowd with bullets like a crazy active shooter with a deranged agenda. When things went south he made an effort to extract himself from the situation.

Well said.
I wish this was more a part of the defense testimony, maybe it will be in closing arguments.
This is what makes him a hero, vs a gangster. It’s what the anti gunners/pro antifa want him to be, but he is not, and they hate us all for it.

they hate us all for it.

Yeah, until the zombies show up in their neighborhood. Then they want help.

Well they can’t stay in the cities, no brains there.

 

[KittySlayer]

Yeah, until the zombies show up in their neighborhood. Then they want help.

Let them call a Social Counselor to console the zombies since these are the same folks wanting to defund the real Police.

I'm PO'ed to have to argue motions and jury instructions in my own trials, so guess what I won't be watching today.

You could do like me, work midnights. Then sleep during the day. Then catch up on everything in the evening.

WATCH: CNN’s Don Lemon admits he would feel differently about Rittenhouse if he were black

“If a black kid did that, killed two people and injured another person, how would America feel about that?” Lemon asked.

Don lemon is the most racist pos I’ve seen since Biden himself.

Uh, maybe Don should just read the Chicago Tribune any day of the week.

The most ironic, or hypocritical really, thing about all this is that the same people who want to defund the police and reform the justice system to soften treatment of offenders because, racism, want to send cops to search to the ends of the earth for J6 rioters and lock them up forever and to throw the book at Rittenhouse.

Apperantly they only want a raced based LE and justice system. I thought that's what they were trying to prevent.

The Mayor wasn't and still isn't the problem. The problem was and still is the (unelected) Prosecutor.

The prosecutor is the mayor’s cousin. The lead detective is the mayor’s nephew. The mayor is kinda in the dog house with residents of Kenosha because of his response to the riots mostly peaceful protests. I kinda suspect he wants a conviction here to distract from that.

I'm referring to Indianapolis. But yeah, that is a definite possibilty

I think Frank is talking about Indy's mayor and prosecutor.

Edit: Scooped!

Heard somewhere that there will be lawsuits filed on behalf of Rittenhouse for those that defamed him.

Hopefully that list includes CNN, NBC, etcetera.

How badass would it be if Rittenhouse got acquitted and riots broke out, so he grabbed his AR again and got right back out in the streets?

The Kenosha Kid rides again!

Under the same circumstances as KR I'd cheer him for ridding the world of 2 scumbags and blowing a chunk off a 3rd scumbag.

Would be better, if 100,000 people grabbed their rifles.

The only charge I can see a jury saying guilty on...maybe is POSSESSION OF A DANGEROUS WEAPON BY A PERSON UNDER 18. Is there any other lesser charges still in play? If they find him innocent becasue of self defense all the others should fold, leaving only the above.

They’re all still in play. A lot of folks need the jury to convict. **** happens when people really want **** to happen.
