Y'all are getting a bit ahead of yourselves here. Rittenhouse will be convicted. I saw the other day that groups were targeting the jurors to make sure they understood that he had to be convicted. It's a done deal.....
Then none of us have the right to defend ourselves. Ever..... under any circumstance.
I don't believe 12 people will see it your way. I don't think 12 people will be intimidated. If there are few cowering in fear to these thugs, it will be a hung jury. in the spirit of 11-1, 10-2, or the something to the sort.
The prosecution did that badly. In fact the prosecution pretty much did the Defense's job for them.
Even the left wing pundits are expecting an acquittal. So I am kind of puzzled with your doom and gloom. For some reason there is a 1 in 1000 conviction, it will be viewed as the biggest miscarriage of justice in our lifetime. I think the kid has to be feeling pretty good about his chances.
