Rittenhouse trial

[nightmarefish]

The long deliberation is for sure getting the defense very uneasy. I think it’s very likely we may be looking at a hung jury and even the jury finding guilt on the Skateboard guy’s death. Even with all this video there is so many ways go one way or another on the self defense. One person can argue that Rittenhouse created the dangerous situation and another can argue the total opposite.

I personally for sure do not think he did enough to get the hell out of there after the Rosenbaum shooting. I think the argument that he didn’t do enough to retreat and unnecessarily contributed to the second scene happening is a strong one. But it’s a tough case.

The Judge is clearly on the side of the defense. I believe he wants to rule this case a Mistrial W/ Prejudice. Not allowing Rittenhouse to be recharged. The Defense knows the Judge will have a tough time doing that if the Jury comes back with any guilty verdicts. So the Defense decided to also ask for a Mistrial W/O Prejudice. Basically giving the Judge another way to throw the case out with an easier path. I think this is the most likely outcome if the Jury comes back with guilty verdicts. For sure, it will be ugly if that’s the case.

The Judge has tipped his hand regarding the video and blown up photo that was in the Prosecution’s rebuttal and is the basis for the Defense’s motion for Mistrial W/O Prejudice. I have a feeling this is going to get really messy soon. I just can’t see an across the board acquittal at this point.

What more could he have done to get away? He literally ran until he was out of breath and was looking for cops to turn himself in while people were chasing him.

Also, when was the last time you got hit over the head with a skateboard by someone in an angry mob? Were you scared or no? Oh ya, at the same time someone else was kicking you in the face and someone else was pulling a gun on you. Were you scared?
