Rittenhouse trial…

@contenchess said
No way.

If the judge did that the town will definitely burn.

So you grant the appeal at a later date when people have forgotten about this case. Save the town and Rittenhouse goes home.

Which means Mob wins. One step at a time.....

They already have in this case.
Acquitals don't take 3 days.

I would be very surprised if he is acquitted now.

so you suggest we should just roll over and let these blm/antifa/soros thugs take our country?

Antifa/BLM/Soros is against Trump. They were not trying to take over our country.

It was self defense. They have to acquit.
He never should have been prosecuted in the first place. He didn't break any laws.

@sh76

I have never heard of a judge going against the jury in a murder conviction.
I don't see it happening here.
Do you know of any previous examples?

I certainly haven't heard of one in the last hundred years or so.

If Schroeder does, I'm confident the appeals courts would reinstate the conviction.

"Vigilante" connotes revenge. Rittenhouse killed people who were attacking him. It's dishonest to use the term vigilante in this case.

Arbery "attacked" McMichael after the latter pointed a shotgun at him.

Is McMichael entitled to a directed verdict too IYO?

Rittenhouse armed himself with a rifle with a 30 bullet mag and went to an area of a riot after previously expressing a desire to shoot "looters". "Vigilante" seems a fair description.

McMichael chased down Arbery with a truck, which is what precipitated the altercation.

Rittenhouse was running away and was chased down by Rosenbaum, precipitating the altercation.

There's no comparison.

The DA claimed in his summation that Rittenhouse pointed his rifle at Rosenbaum first making the case analogous.

I'll admit I didn't watch that part of the closing, but wasn't he talking about an hour (or whatever) earlier and not at the moment of the chase? The video doesn't show anything about Rittenhouse pointing a gun at anyone. It shows him running for his life.

Rosenbaum was being a violent maniac.
Is it true Rosenbaum was mentally ill and recently released from a mental hospital?

The jury asked to see the video yesterday. I'm sure if it's as unambiguous as you claim, they'll acquit Rittenhouse and probably carry him out of the courthouse on their shoulders while singing "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow."

The videos are all over the Internet now. Show me the still of where Rittenhouse points a gun at anyone (when he's not being attacked). If it exists, I haven't seen it.
