WI v. Kyle Rittenhouse Trial Day 13 - VERDICT REACHED!

Live Coverage: WI v. Kyle Rittenhouse - Kenosha Shooting
Day 4 Jury Began Deliberations at 10:15am ET
REMINDER of the judge's ruling in defense use of force expert testimony: Schroeder told the attorneys that Black wouldn’t be allowed to testify about what Rittenhouse was thinking when he pulled the trigger or whether he definitively acted in self-defense.
Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger said if Schroeder allowed Black to testify only about the timeline of events that night he wouldn’t call his own expert to the stand. Defense attorney Mark Richards agreed to the deal.
Charges:
1. First Degree Reckless Homicide, Use of a Deadly Weapon (Joseph Rosenbaum)
2. First Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety, Use of a Deadly Weapon (Richard
McGinnis, reporter for Daily Caller, not injured but near Rosenbaum when Rittenhoue
fired)
3. First Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety, Use of a Deadly Weapon (unknown male)
4. First Degree Intentional Homicide, Use of a Deadly Weapon (Anthony Huber)
5. Attempt First Degree Intentional Homicide, Use of a Deadly Weapon (Gaige
Grosskreutz)
6. Possession of a Dangerous Weapon by a Person under the Age of 18 (JUDGE DISMISSED THIS COUNT ON THE DAY OF CLOSING ARGUMENTS)
7. DISMISSED AT THE END OF STATE”S CASE. Prosecution failed to put evidence in front of the jury that there was a lawful curfew in place (appears to be an oversight by prosecution) Defense moved to dismiss, judge agreed. Fail to Comply with Order of Local Government - Emergency Management Activity (citation, carries no penalty) - everyone present was breaking the 7pm curfew issued by the sheriff.
Possible Sentence: Max: Life in Prison Without Parole (WI does not have the DP)
JURY CHOSEN IN ONE DAY. 20 jurors have been selected in WI v. Kyle Rittenhouse. 9 men and 11 women. (8 are alternates)
Rittenhouse shot and killed Joseph Rosenbaum, 26, and Anthony Huber, 26, and injured Gaige Grosskreutz, 27. Prosecutors say that Rittenhouse, then 17 and from Illinois, was a vigilante looking for a fight. He, like other right-wingers, went to Kenosha, Wisconsin ostensibly to protect property. This happened as protests over police shooting local man Jacob Blake turned violent. Rittenhouse’s attorneys assert he was acting in self-defense. This case became a cause célèbre among conservatives.
Prosecutors have struggled in court, failing to introduce evidence of prior aggressive behavior. This included evidence showing him attacking a woman who was in an altercation with his sister. The other is that he was closely linked to the violent, far-right Proud Boys organization.
Kenosha County Judge Bruce Schroeder said an appellate court would reverse him if he allowed these in trial. The evidence was too prejudicial, he said. He left it up in the air whether he would allow footage showing someone identified as Rittenhouse discussing a Black man exiting a CVS pharmacy. Rittenhouse believed the man was shoplifting.

Honestly, looking at the evidence of this case it is downright shameful that it even made it to court. Most obvious case of self defence I may have ever seen in my life. How it got to court at all let alone all the way to a jury verdict i'll never know. One thing i'm wondering is how on earth it took them 4 days to reach the blaring obvious decision that he's innocent. At least they got the right verdict in the end. Took too long though. This kid has basically lost a year of his life he'll never get back. I doubt he'll be compensated for that. There are no winners in this situation really. Except maybe the future victims of Rosenbaum the paedophile.

[@Wudanmaster116]

so when he shot that one guy and that guy went down on his face.....why did he shoot him three more times in the back? How was that protecting himself? The first shot shattered the guys hip and he wasnt getting up.....why THREE more shots in the BACK no less...? Thats not defense. Thats fun sport murder lol.

[@imnotftw]

@@Wudanmaster116 He didn't. He shot him once in the hip, once in the hand, once in the head and once in the back at an angle consistent with forward momentum while lunging. All shots were fired from within a distance of 4ft and within 0.75s at a standing or lunging target. It's not like Kyle put him to the ground and unloaded 3 bullets into his back as you're trying to make it sound.

[@itsme-gm9oi]

As an outsider, none American, I was bemused as to why this even went to court. Ive seen the videos of that night. He was attacked and defended himself. It would have been a travesty if he was convicted . Well done the jury, common sense and justice prevails

[@0xCAFEF00D]

The only remotely valid theory of the case the prosecution had was to say that he provoked the attack from Rosenbaum and that was murder, which changes the context of the escape leaving him no right to defend himself from capture. And the evidence for that was very weak. A blurry video with just a few pixels of supposed aiming a gun at Rosenbaum (the time he wasn't in floodlight). I don't like how the prosecution wasted time on the idea that his mere presence there was provocation. How is someone going to sentence him based on that?

juries hold no power. 1st, they're conscripted, by force of law, against their will, 2nd- they're holed up indefinitely while they are told what to think by two sides for hours or days on end, 3rd-the judge manipulates or instructs them what to think and do & 4th-the judge can just ignore them anytime he wants and even override or redirect the verdict. If "it's still the ordinary people who hold power" is true, then the people of Kenosha would have came out and stopped the riots in their city, instead they refused and let the vermin run wild. The only one who held power in this case, was Kyle.

[@enlargedquack]

@@immeohmyoh 1. The jury holds the power to decide whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty. The judge decides the sentencing. 2. Jury duty is mandatory because it allows a random picking of real people that attend the court sessions in person to form an educated decision and provide the highest likeliness that bias is kept out of the case and the same people are informed through the case, all with the same knowledge. We wouldn’t want a jury that was alternating throughout the case 3. The judge does not manipulate the Jury at all, the Judge however is in charge of making sure that the jury is aware of the functions of relevant laws. 4. The judge cannot “just ignore” the jury verdict, other than in very extreme and rare cases in which the Jury’s verdict cannot reasonably be supported by evidence. This almost never happens and it wouldn’t have happened here.

I think exposure to stressful situations is the main thing that separates the factions on this one. There are a lot of people whose idea of a high-stress situation is a busy day at work offering up strong opinions on this trial. Incidentally, this leans towards sheltered city dwellers, which incidentally projects political lines. You will find far more political diversity among ex-military than diversity in opinion on this case among ex-military.
