Kyle Rittenhouse found not guilty

Nick Sandman was able to claim defamation because he was a minor and he was not charged with any crime. Kyle Rittenhouse will not be able to sue the media, because this is a criminal case and the media can claim they sourced the information from the Wisconsin state prosecutors. If an investigation shows malfeasance by the prosecutors then he may have a case against the Wisconsin state, however this will not be a quick win and will take several years. Kyle Rittenhouse does not have the resources to pursue cases like that such a drawn out case like that does not have the appeal of ambulance chaser lawyers that saw a quick win. His case did attract the attention of many lawyers across the United States and quite a few would like to see the prosecutors punished for pursuing what they see as a political trial when the facts at an early stage of investigation indicated this was not the case.

For example questions are being asked openly about the prosecutors means, motives and actions such as this.

That's your analysis. And it smacks of looking at something from the outside.

I'm more than capable of judging people on their words and actions as opposed to the colours they wear. I live in a state with a Republican Governor and have repeatedly praised their actions on a range of topics. I've repeatedly disagreed with a number of Democrat politicians and commentators.

But I am not going to give a pass to those who nurture hatred and division just because some who I am seen to be more aligned with need to pick up their standards also. Anyone asking for this is always focused on shutting down conversation/criticism and is in favour of not shining a light on unacceptable behaviour.

I doubt it. The jury just found that all those shot or killed were assailants in this case. 12 people looked at the evidence and said in each count that he was the one being attacked. Best of luck in a civil court trying to get past that.

He didn't travel from a different state with a gun. The gun was given to him by a friend Mr Black. He's legally allowed open carry the gun. Whether he was trained or hired is completely and utterly immaterial to this case. He was attacked and defended himself. At no point did he instigate anything. Him being in the area is understandable as his father lives there and he has ties to the community. Him being in the area in no way gives anyone the right to attack him just because of his mere presence.

It would be good to know why those three people decided to travel there that night and attack him. Maybe Gross will someday spill the beans but the other two took that information with them to the grave unfortunately.

I also want to be very clear, there are no winners in any of this. Anyone that thinks making a few dollars will erase the trauma of having two deaths on your conscious doesn't understand how these things work. I hope he gets the help he needs over the next few years to deal with that properly and has good family around him to stop him from being used as a political pawn.

Defence attorney Mark Richards offers comments after the verdict.

Fight over the $2 million bail bond paid bond money refunds expected, nothing to do with him though.

Sorry, but you don't get to demand what type of post you get any more than I get to demand you ask a question in a particular way.

Yes on the charges of murder. No with respect to the dismissal of the charge of possession of a dangerous weapon. (And I do note he wasn't acquitted on this, it was dismissed)
