Kyle Rittenhouse Trial

[Angrboda]

For what it might be worth, I read this morning that the young man has been in contact with Tucker Carson, who was making a documentary about the case. The defence apparently had Carson's people thrown out of court several times

It's beginning to seem that old Kyle is a matter of if it looks like a duck, waddles like a duck and quacks like a duck--------

Also beginning to look as if Kyle is fortunate the US legal system does not allow for double jeopardy.

Um he can still face federal charges. But just like OJ got off on a double murder charge, he was still found liable in a civil suit. Not sure what the odds are of federal charges are, but lawsuits have been filed in civil court in this case.

This brings up a long term issue for me, long before this case, for decades. 

I don't like the oversimplification of "not guilty". Often has been the case, jurors get interviewed after the fact and say, "we didn't say the accused was innocent, but only in that the state failed to prove it's case". 

I'd bet my life that you could at least find a couple of jurors in this case who would want to slap the shit out of Kyle, but because the state fucked up their presentation, they had no choice. But again, it also did not help that the judge seemed to act more like a defense lawyer than a neutral judge.

ISTR, there were some court cases about this last year, and it may not be possible to try for federal charges after being acquitted on a similar state charge.
